We were told work on the stadium was in the works then the MLS idiocy came up. Thankfully that folly was squashed, but, now, it appears the stadium upgrades have been put on the back burner.
I'm not so certain that we have heard the last of the shared stadium idea, fwiw. But to put the stadium upgrades in perspective, I was still in the marching band the last time they did a major upgrade and I graduated a looooong time ago.

Don't get me wrong. I'm all for upgrades and stuff. I just hate the argument that our current stadium is holding us back in recruiting. The only thing about it that holds us back is that it is TINY compared to other SEC stadiums, and that's not really a fixable problem because if it's any bigger we'll just have more empty seats and/or more opposing fans, which also will not help in recruiting. I can somewhat see an argument that a nicer stadium will attract more casual fans but not enough to pay for the upgrades or to grow the "fan base" enough to impress recruits (or maybe I should say "be less negative to recruits"). The stadium is not a problem for the on-field product, but it could use some work to enhance the fan experience.
