I think Kentucky will move up a few notches with the Commonwealth redesign and new practice facility.

It doesn't cost what some others do (a paltry $175M) but based on the renderings, it's going to be top notch.

Better sightlines

So apparently they aren't selling any seats in the northeast zone club (sections ZC26 and 27 I think) until they get the sight line issues figured out.

I suppose it's for the best since those two sections were almost empty for every game last year. I just don't see how that got overlooked in the design process. Even IF they didn't factor in that the students next to the section would be standing, the seats are directly parallel to the field and sit about tend yards behind the endzone. Your only decent view even without the students standing is of the band forming.


Oops.

Look, I'm not saying Kyle Field isn't nice, it's very nice. It has some unique features not found anywhere else. I've been a fan of the whole process. If they ever sell DVD's detailing the construction process, I'd buy one. I'm a construction junkie.

I've given Kyle Field it's due. That's why I don't understand how Aggie fans can be so ungracious as to not give Tiger Stadium it's due. Namely, that it's a better place to watch a game than Kyle Field...or anywhere else. For 99% of any fan base, they get better seats as a visitor in Tiger Stadium than they do at home in their own stadium. Just the facts.

Some of, if not THE...best sightlines in any stadium. The most chairback seats in the SEC. The most exits in the stands, with seats being closer to exits than virtually anywhere else. I know of no stadium better constructed in that regard.

Which means that sitting in Tiger Stadium, you not only get to enjoy a superior view, but you spend less time away from your seat and the game. I know our fans come to Tiger Stadium to enjoy watching the game...not spending an inordinate amount of time walking to restrooms or concessions.

If powdering your nose is more important than watching the game, so be it. To each his/her own.

I really like me some Commonwealth. Not just the stadium but also the surroundings.

Just because you drop six figures on a watch doesn't mean you're the elite of the elite. Get it?

I've always wondered how LSU fans all left so quickly in the 3rd quarter.

I don't know many that haven't honestly. I know when we joined the conference for all the Aggies I know IRL THE away game they all wanted to go to first was LSU.


Well except my FIL, but he hates LSU and loves really nice golf courses.

I've always heard from Aggie fans how much more loyal their fan base was, yet last year....

LSU - 712,063 (stadium capacity 102,321...99.42 pct capacity per game)

Texas A&M - 630,735 (stadium capacity 106,300...98.89 pct capacity per game)

You should technically only get half credit for yours since they only watch half of the game right?
