Just read this article:
https://247sports.com/article/ole-miss-rebels-vaught-hemingway-stadium-enhance-plans-back-on-table-ad-keith-carter-245163383/
Could those enhancement plans be back on the table? According to Ole Miss vice chancellor for intercollegiate athletics Keith Carter, they are.
"That's something that we're actually kind of behind the scenes looking at," Carter told Inside the Rebels in an exlcusive interview. "I think that we're going to have to get creative there. Obviously, we love our stadium and it's been the site of many great homes wins. There is a lot of history and tradition with Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
Anyone hear what they are thinking about doing? The last plan was to tear down an entire side and rebuild it and that would take well over a year to make it happen. I'm guessing that's not going to be an option?

I wish they would do something or shut up about it
Every year or so we get an article they’re looking at changes bc it’s so different
Then we get An article saying they put the idea on the back burner
Now they’re bringing it back up. They’ll look at costs and decide if it’s worth it and blah blah
We’ll get renderings of potential plans and they’ll look great and get the fan base all excited and weighing on which plans they should go with. And then they’ll decide to not do anything bc the timing isn’t right or the landscape of athletics isn’t conducive to wholesale stadium upgrades

Stop polishing the turd. Just tear the thing down and build something better. Please.

I don't understand why we don't do what Texas A&M did when they rebuilt their entire stadium. Go with an erector set stadium and polish it up with some brick and concrete. The only thing that really needs to be concreted is the stands, the superstructure underneath can be steel. It's much much faster and much more cost effective.

That was a $485 million renovation. We still need coaches and players to put inside the stadium. Those are far more important right now to the success of our program.
