I thought forever they just forgot to finish the concrete towers. Those need to be red or brick or lite up with color or something. Fugly they are.
As for the end zone, enclosing it doesn't remove the stadium from the center of the campus. You could easily enclose it and leave a view of some nature. The main reason we don't need to enclose it is because we are barely selling out most of our games now.
What they really need to do is upgrade the PA System so we can hear anything that comes out of that fancy scoreboard.

first and foremost, you already mentioned the big point that we would have tons of empty seats if we enclosed. I mean, hypothetically we could add like 30,000 more seats and be the biggest in the country, but we already have enough issues getting people to come before kickoff as is.
Second, can you imagine the absolute logistical clusterfrick if we were to undertake this? There's basically 2 scenarios you could do. Remove the bridge (sanford drive) and scoreboard and fully enclose the west endzone. This is impossible, it just can't be done. Other option is adding like a little section that connects the northwest side and the southwest side, leaving a gap in the middle. This would still leave the road in tact and the view from the bridge. However, it'd probably look weird as shite and you'd have to close down one of the busiest main roads on campus for who knows how long. It's just not feasible.
IF we were to expand again in the future, they should just continue to wrap the 600s around to the skyboxes. That would make it more symmetrical and (IMO) aesthetically pleasing. It'd also bump us up well into the six figures seating wise.
