I'm thinking something along the lines of what connects those two old dorms near Wheeler Hill to campus. It could start somewhere from Rosewood and end at the fairgrounds... perhaps add some parking in a lot near where the bridge begins. Land is relatively cheap in that part of Rosewood.

Yea I'm assuming you're talking about Bates and Bates West. I lived in South Quad one year which is just on the other side of the bridge and it was still a hike to get up to Gambrell. Literally, its up hill and I hated it

Ideally if a footbridge was built it would let out around Jones or the Colosseum because there already the underground path under Assembly and from there its a straight shot to the Horseshoe.

When I think about that though the walk from the CLA to campus isn't that bad, especially if you go under Assembly, so really they just need buses picking up from the stadium before the game. Pretty sure its only one way now

They also need footbridges over Shop Road. Those are more likely to come to fruition after the stadium grounds renovations next summer.

One over Shop, one over George Rogers and one over Bluff would be awesome. I've seen some sketches of George Rogers being lowered to allow foot traffic to flow from the fair grounds that looked really cool, but that'll never happen
