Looks exactly like it does in person.

No, it doesn't. Source: I regularly sit in that upper deck.

Saban's fault - his record in BDS is 77-7 in 12 yrs.
Games are rarely in doubt at half-time when playing at home.

It's been damn near 30 yrs since Auburn has had any type of major renovation to JHS, they have yet to build a football only facility, and they still haven't seen fit to cover the backside of that monstrosity AubieTron. An AU fan has no business in discussions about stadium renovations or improvements.

Oh, I guess I fail to see with my own eyes the obvious issues with any building. I think AUs video board sucks from an aesthetic viewpoint. The only thing is serves is shade during day games and it also took away from the overall view of an outside venue. Bama's stadium is nice, but it is claustrophobic and feels like you are in a canyon. And this is an upper deck view.
I have no choice but to take your word for it because I've never sat in the upper's at BDS. But I've never felt claustrophobic while sitting in the lower bowl.

BDS is a very nice stadium and thank goodness the people in charge have plans in place to make it even nicer with construction to begin in about 6 months.

As a matter of fact, the photo doesn't really show the openness of JHS. The real view is much more open from every position. It use to be much better before the El Captain video board.

Why do you keep talking about the sky?
I'm not understanding the relevance.

It is in the sense that the picture of BDS is tilted lower than that of JHS.

Like being in a Dome. You can see the sky, but you lose the feel of being in an open air stadium.

Abortion averted....that would have looked hideous.

Seems like the AD istrolling the students over free will.

I think some Tide Pride members and alumni voiced their adversity to the big screen. I know I did when I recently paid for my season tickets.

I looks like the Admin listened and acted accordingly.
