I think there’s a direct correlation between how nice your stadium is and how shitty your football program is.


The horseshoe was a fricking shithole when we went, likely due to the fact that they simply care about winning and nothing else. Could say the same about Tiger Stadium and the piss stained walls.


Meanwhile, schools like Aggy and VOLS are focused on party decks and all kinds of faggotry instead of the product on the field.

Yeah, 323 million might actually buy us a few years of a competitive roster. Instead a bunch of slap dicks will spend exorbitant money to watch us scratch and claw for bowl eligibility while eating shrimp cocktails in their air conditioned suite while giving each other reach arounds.

300 mil for that?

Inflation. The gift that keeps on giving. I'm so glad that we did a 60% rebuild of seats, and 75% rebuild of infrastructure a decade ago for $450 million. Construction costs nowadays are just insane.

Those monies are coming from a different pot.

I was surprised how shitty that stadium is. But they do win.

Does the caw know about this?

$350M for an upgrade in only one endzone is crazy.

I remember when Ole Miss did the south endzone adding 10,000 seats in 2003 and it cost like $20M.

The dollar has becomes so worthless

Also remember the IPF cost like $1M to build and people were like “holy cow a million dollars for a practice facility!?”

Google North EZ pics of JHS and you’ll see why. The problem is there’s no easy fix. Just putting a brick facade on that side so it doesn’t look like it’s stuck in the 70s wouldn’t be easy.
