Also, yeah, Cook isn't behind this. This is a board driven memorial that someone, who has almost no marketing experience, thought was a good idea.


It's a terrible idea. And is the responsible board member/members adamant about going through with this? Are they that determined to proceed with this misguided "memorial", or was this really just a branding stunt?

If branding, could he/them be convinced there are better ideas? Hell, I'd rather move the E. King Gill statue to that spot in the stands, rather than have 12 empty seats. That would be both more visible, send a clear message, and I have to think it would be unique in all football.

I think'd be pretty cool to move the E. King Gill statue to the 50, in the middle of the second deck. That's ONE seat, because the football team is ELEVEN people and one more makes TWELVE, he'd always be standing, and it would be a marketing stunt that'd work because no one else has a statue in the middle of the stands and the camera could focus on it. It wouldn't be empty - he, as representative of all of us, would always be there.

Just something, anything other than 12 EMPTY seats to supposedly represent good fans, when empty seats are known as the inverse quality of good fans. That's just crazy and we can't go through with it.
