Take Ole Miss for example, we just spent a shite ton of $$ bowling in our North Endzone with nothing but bleachers. We don't even need that thing now. We could have left it empty and just been a horseshoe and seat about 55k. That is all we need.


That's because of Bjork's bait and switch on the donation drive versus the final product. Had they spent the money and done the NEZ the same that the SEZ used to be like, it would have been much nicer, in the shade, and more uniform. By going cheap with the bleachers, they spent a lot of money to have some really shitty seats.

I'm so glad that fricker is gone and is now A&Ms problem to deal with. He presented it as a match to the SEZ initially. One of my biggest gripes about VHS is that it looks like 4 different stadiums thrown together. Nothing matches up. I had season tickets over in the SEZ back in 2003, and man, that's so much nicer to walk up into than any of the other dates.

Even after he steered the donations elsewhere, the rendering he presented isn't what we got. No videoboard on the back of the NEZ for instance.

Having said that, The Pavilion is pretty badass.
