It just goes to show you how much inflation we've had in the past 10 years.

I'm all for UF going big and support them (and am jealous)

But objectively, I don't think that looks very good, especially for that price tag. For that money, you should be able to construct something very high end and cohesive, and this doesn't look like that. Nor does it appear to retain any charm.

As someone who wants our collective stadiums to age well, I hope they iron out some of this and product is better than it looks. No shade to UF, as I bitch constantly about Auburn's absence of foresight in renovations.

That looks amazing. That's going to be the nicest stadium in the SEC for sure.

Bryant Denny is the nicest stadium in the SEC. The stadium is symmetrical, aesthetically pleasing and was done right.

long overdue

But the renovation of the entire program still is too

Spend $1.5 billion to build a stadium so fans can see a 4-5 team losing a nooner to Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, usf, probably fau this year ect ect ect
