Doesn’t look as bad as I thought but it’s still putting lipstick on a pig. We need to just demolish that side of the stadium and rebuild it


It's not going to happen. There's nothing really wrong with that side of the stadium except for the concourse area. That desperately needs updating.

Hopfully they will do the other side the same.


I do foresee a teardown of the existing club box on the East side and them replacing it with something more along the lines of what we have in the south endzone.

That's not horrible, but if we ever hope to have a stadium that actually looks like one stadium and not 4 different ones mashed together, they need to make the roof match what is in the SEZ.

Or let the concourses all connect under the seating. That’s so annoying you can’t go all the way around from underneath

They fixed the connection between west and south? You used to have to go up into the seats then over to another portal to go down.

Call me negative, but that still looks awful and confirms we won’t touch that side of the stadium for over a decade. I’d rather save money and do it right the first time…

Yes. You haven't had to do that for a few years now.

I've never been for paying players. If so, take away the scholarship and pay them then they can do it however they want. Because bottom line it's either stadium upgrades or let kids ball out. I really don't care what everyone else is doing.

So it's the student's fault that donors would rather give money to NIL than the athletic department?

I still believe most old money think paying scholarship athletes is ridiculas. People just go with the flow.
