re: Should Mizzou remove Rock M?

Here's my thoughts on the issue...
The Rock M should stay. It's too traditional. However, like in the Bama fans' renderings, I think bleacher seating should be added around it, and not have anyone sit on it so it will pop on TV.
Also, a second rock M should be added on the outside of the stadium, as some have suggested. It would be a really cool gateway to the facility.

Lastly, as others have also stated, messing with the rock M should be the last thing that the university messes with, especially now that they've renovated the entire hill. The south bowl needs major, major work-as in restrooms added, permanent concessions, and a much larger concourse for fan maneuverability, more like the north concourse. Traffic gets hopelessly backed up on that narrow south concourse. I realize that the water table is an issue, but my thing on that is, if they can build skyscrapers in New Orleans where the soil is just swamp silt with no bedrock, they can build onto, and renovate the south stands at Faurot. Also being in the Mizzou Architecture program, I know this is true. From the looks of it though, the U looks to be taking strides towards majorly improving the south bowl, just not in the immediate future (8-10 years from now according to Alden). The east expansion is taking priority as it should. Stoked for next year when it's completed. It will really make Faurot a much more SEC-esque facility!
