Luxury boxes should complete the upper deck bowl. Only exception could be if they expanded the student section side

We need an additional HD video board in the North endzone. Recruits and students have to look behind themselves to see the screen.

Shouldn't even be a question. It needs to be upgraded and they need to do it ASAP. It needs to keep up with the times. Other schools are expanding and upgrading facilities and they look awesome. No reason why Jordan Hare should look the way it does now, which is old.

Ok. Let me provide some context to this topic. Expanding JH is not an issue. There is a facilities arms race going on in the SEC and AU is falling behind and could affect us in recruiting soon which was the crux of the AUC article and insiders on both AUC and AUR discussing and pushing for the face lift and a new football facility. AU has pop (wow factor) with recruits in the new dorms, wellness kitchen, atmosphere, AU fans, and indoor practice field. We have no pop with Jordan Hare or the football facilities/coaches offices. The first on campus meet with a recruit is usually in the coach's offices. The offices are considered adequate but nothing pops out like at the other 6 major SEC schools. For example, at Florida they have all their Heisman awards and National Titles on display so that people have to walk by and see them to get to the coach's offices. That stands out to recruits. At our facility you would not know where those awards and titles are unless you went out of your way to find them. Also there is not enough room in the facility to comfortably have an office for everybody on Gus's extended coaching staff. Lastly, there is no pop to the outside of the facility building itself. You would not know coming up to the facility that it's for football as the other big 6 make it plainly known with their facilities. By all insider accounts I read the past few days on this AU is behind on stadium and facility pop factor to Bama, LSU, TAMU and behind facility pop to UGA, UF and UT and it's not even close.
Quality post. 'Preciate the insight and agree.

AU could use another 3000 seats or so. Get it up to 90K. we dont need bigger than that. First class amenities would be nice.

They need to do everything in their power to make JH one of the nicest looking and sounding stadiums in the country, we do not need more seating. There's no need to hold back on these improvements, especially the sound system. They have the funds to start the process, just wish they would tell us when they're gonna start it.

They're waiting for everyone to do theirs and then we will do JH even better, amirite?
