I don't mind the rendering, although the colors of the bezel/thing are weird.

Also sick of that 2010 era AUBURN TIGERS font

Don't be a moron. Auburn cannot support 100k fans consistently. Outside of really big games, we almost never fill up the upperdeck as it is. You want to add even more cruddy seats?


Don't be a moron. Nowhere did I ever claim to want more seats, in fact I'm probably in the minority that I'd like to see fewer seats. If we ever did any real upgrades, I'd like chair-back seating. Sacrificing capacity for comfort. But the mindset of big, better, more is what drives these decisions. That's why we are going to have a ridiculous-sized Aubitron and look like some bush-league stadium trying to "claim" something like the biggest screen.

I just also see that closing the bowl/stadium improvement is important but we can't support a larger seating capacity.


I understand this idea, but if we don't need more seats, why worry about making it seem like we have more seats?

It's not like JHS is quiet or the stadium feels weird by not being closed in. If anything, I enjoy having the open endzones because it allows nice views out of the stadium.

That's what I'm saying, yes. Maybe it just reminds me of Chizik too much.

I've thought the same thing, and yes, it means rebranding the entire athletics department. I think we're due.

The combination of UA+Chizik+flood of merchandise post natty has just left me really bored with that line of stuff. FWIW, I don't want anything radical, I just want some updated word marks for continued use with our traditional logos.

Also, the more pressure we can exert on UA to make less ridiculous designs, the better. Hence, classier branding on our part would help to force their hand. I'm tired of hats split down the middle blue and orange. I'm honestly surprised they haven't tried to redo the interlocking AU with letters made of lightning bolts.

These are exactly my sentiments. It has gotten to be a bit stale to me, and honestly, a bit busy or tacky at times.

This might be an example.

Did we run out of video panels or something? They were putting them in at a pretty good clip and its been the same for the last few days now.
