Doesn't the Ole Miss endzone expansion look similar to that?

That's Ole Miss' expanded end zone seating. It looks good but I think State's will look nicer.

Of course you do. I wouldn't expect you to say anything different.

Ours kind of has a brick look to it so the current plans look good and add to that.

Your videoboard is the best in the SEC, maybe the country. That's for sure.

Texas has the nicest in the country but State has the best in the SEC.

I didn't know Mississippi State was expanding their stadium. That should definitely help with recruiting and what not. I have yet to make a trip to Starkville for a football game. Do you think yall will be able to sell it out consistently?

You need to make the trip in 11. Should be a good game.

Mullen has the fan-base fired up and we are getting better. We will sell out the big SEC games and maybe the Southern Miss renewed rivalry when that cranks back up in 14.

Yeah, like Old Myth's four differing sections of non-symmetry..the new nice modern sideline, across from the ugly old Juco-esque sideline, the high school endzone for visitors(does have a Corky's BBQ stand though!), and the tacky mexican condo endzone(aka suites over UM frat section)..with the Odessa-Permian grade stadium facade when coming from the Grove.

But, I get your drift, at least you don't have to climb 20 flights of stairs for visitors..like at Cow College.

Any..and I mean any..symmetry..will be the first at UM..hallelujah!

Then, they need to replicate their nice modern/deco sideline on the old other side.

You guys can say what you want but that place is about to be bigger than 25% of SEC schools. It is also going to be modernized in the areas not being expanded.

That's a good question since I haven't seen any on campus before. Where do you park your air boat when you go to lsu games.

Actually, both Ole Miss' and MSU's video boards are larger than Godzillatron in "game coverage" space. Texas uses over half of their board for ads, while OM and MSU's have separate boards for ads.

Southern needed that expansion badly. Their stadium only held 33,000.
