Do you think your stadium should be expanded?

While I would love to see a newly renovated, 95k seating Jordan Hare Stadium (if they could do it well), I just don't think we need to do it right now. With the new Arena costing upwards at 90mil+ and the fact that we don't fill up every game, what would be the point of spending that money at this moment.

I would love to see Auburn start to stabilize and fill the stadium for every home game before people start clamoring for it to be upgraded again.

The reason I ask this is because I have seen a lot of Auburn fans jumping on the bandwagon this year and talk about dumping a lot of cash into Jordan Hare.

I think the gaps should be closed in, the field lowered, and more seats put in BDS. And a roof.

Yes, third deck on the north end. Has been talked about, but not practical until we're good again.

Auburn's stadium doesn't need expanding...it does need a serious upgrade though.

Nope because our fans won't fill it as soon as we want petrino fired.

I like the gaps...you don't want it looking like that stadium in Knoxville.

BDS as a dome would be ridiculous though

I would think they would need to fill up the stadium every game consistently before you consider an expansion.

LSU is talking about expanding via adding to the South End Zone. The stated goal is "more suites than seats", given that no suites have come on the market since 2000. Suite owners have never let their leases expire.

If Auburn did any expanding I would like to see some suites added across one of the endzones...and a giant Pat Dye picture on top of the suites with "Pat Dye Field" written on it...just something to block the sun in that endzone.

My only problem with Jordan Hare is the food, fix that and I'm good. Then again I only see at most 2 games a year there.

As for BDS, if filling in the gaps would top Neyland...that would be cool, but it's not a big deal to me.
