IMHO, all the money being spent to upgrade stadium and surrounding ugly warehouse area is such a waste when you consider we lost a golden opportunity years ago to relocate it on campus like most SEC stadiums. It's too late now but boy what a shame, lol.

Yeah...this aint it. Id imagine only a small minority of fans would be happy seeing Williams Brice tore down....
plus that area looks much nicer now, and with this project will not only look much nicer but provide the athletic department with a steady revenue stream in the many millions with leases

People knocking our off campus stadium are missing the boat. There is huge atmosphere value with current location. There is probably not another stadium that 95% of the people can tailgate within a half a mile from stadium. Home and away fans. Go to Auburn or UGA and you will park more than a mile from stadium and tailgate in a small parking lot or yard with maybe 3 or 4 other groups. The hospitality at Carolina is way better because of density of tailgating.
Our Greek housing is 1.5 miles from stadium. That's not too much further than other schools.
Give it 10 more years and it will be basically on campus.
Now if we were like NC State, it would be a better argument.
