re: 28 Million Dollar Gameday Facility Planned

Is it just me or does it seem we are we doing things out of order?

Why not do athletic facility
Then face-lift /renovate the actual stadium
Then do this add on

Football only athletic facility would primarily benefit coaches, not players or recruits. Generates zero revenue. Current facility will be remodeled.

If you have been in the Auburn recruiting lounge and locker room, you would understand this the first priority. I like it because it addresses recruiting and is what parents see on recruiting visits

We added a game room to our dorm rooms (first class and some of the best). Adding new weight room is also a great idea (also approved)because kids see this.

Stadium - Eventually they will add a similar structure to the other side of the north endzone to balance that side.

Middle section of press box will be converted to premium seating and that will look better.

The south endzone is on hold and is probable phase III. They are finally widening the concourse and should put up a better video board.

WRONG!! Guys, 28 million is nothing. Listen to me, IT'S NOTHING! We're in a facilities arms race. I know it, you know it, everybody knows it. How do we know this? It's because we're very smart people. The smartest, actually.

Now I am so sick and tired of other schools recruiting a kid and we miss out on him because they say, "Well it was a business decision". So we're going to spend the 28 million dollars to build the best recruiting facility. You would not believe this facility we are going to build. It's really going to be a thing of beauty. First class all the way.
Once it's built we're going to bring the recruits in and let them sit down face to face with our bagmen. That's right, we're not even going to hide it. They're going to sit and talk to our bagmen in our gorgeous new facility and we're going to make better deals. I'm telling you, 5-stars are going to be begging to get in on these deals.

And do you know what the best part of all of this is? It won't cost us a dime! We're going to make Alabama pay for it!

If we're not building a water fountain in the locker room, we haven't made it yet.

Is it possible to change the gray panels. I'm about to give up at this point.
