I have been to every SEC stadium (sans TAMU, Mizzou) and concession lines are terrible almost everywhere.

As far as the erector set framing, I actually like it, but it I agree it is time for that to go..

Not really talking about the lines. Those are unavoidable. Talking more about actual quality of the concessions.

Odd - this is a common opinion on this board yet I have never met anyone IRL that has said anything similar. This sort of discussion certainly happens more often on a board than IRL though(for me anyway)so maybe I've just missed them. Personally, I don't mind/kinda like the way it looks now.

I just don't know how anyone could like how that looks. It looks cheap.

Why not keep that screen and build the new screen over that end zone.


I think the impetus for this new one is that the old one is very expensive to fix because parts aren't made for it any more.

Wouldn't that make it smart to replace the old one then?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding here (which is likely, it's Friday and I'm dumb). The video board we're replacing is because it's too expensive for upkeep. So that would prohibit it (the current video board) from being moved to where the non-video board is (Haley side), or just simply putting the new one in the other endzone (Haley side) and keeping the current video board.

I think I misunderstood your point. I thought you were referring to the really old one when you said "old one"

They're also redoing the other side pretty soon in all likelihood so that probably has something to do with it.

I think I'm the only one that like the video board lol. Just think it helps with recruits in some way of were not upgrading seating then we should do something. And it comes with a new PA system so it has my vote.

I love it. To hell with the haters the bigger the better (unless we are talking more seating)

I know they've talked about putting in some more boxes over there. I just don't really get why they thought this needs to be the next project. Sound system, yes, but our current screen is still really nice.


So that when 1/4 of the new one is taken up by ads, it will actually have a nice bit of screen to use for actual football related things, unlike the existing one.

And it can't be that expensive to brick in the erector set endzone. It just needs to be covered to look like the other sides of the stadium. It's not like it needs actual structural work. It's all cosmetic.

It is really cool when they put game stats on the sides. Unfortunately that is 1 out of every 10 minutes as they flash the score of Bowling Green games and advertisements for things I will never buy

Seriously though, how is there always a Bowling Green game score up there? Every time I look.


As I've said for the umpteenth time, can I please get at least one speaker on the north side of the stadium? Just one.
