I don't dislike Florida, never have, and watch more Florida than I have any right to (Gator girlfriend).

But if you can't see the humor in a Florida fan calling out somebody else's fanbase/school as being Walmart-like, you haven't a single humorous bone in your body.

I bet you're a fun guy though!

And Memphis has as many wins all-time against Florida as Florida does against us, so lay off with that angle and try again.

Look's trashy, but that's not too bad if there's a decent view of the field. Hope they're stocked with tallboys.

Expenses for college football have gotten so out of hand that schools have to be innovative in raising money. The cabanas seem to be a good use of that space. I just hope they're anchored well. That's a lot of room for SRO big games, too.

I like it. Monetizing space that otherwise was doing nothing. Only issue I see is it appears as if people are just going to be walking in front of and around your cabana. If it's cordoned off then it seems like a pretty good idea.

I was going to say the same thing about anchored down in case of bad weather. One instance of a chair or table flying off onto a spectator below would be terrible. What about rain? A literal "rain check" for a future game?

How much would you pay to hang from a harness beneath the suspended camera over the field and view each play from the offensive backfield?

This is the future, folks.

Nah. Those recliners in the endzone at Kansas were stranger.

Some genuine meh, and some genuine jelly in this thread. Personally, I wouldn't pay that much for it, but our scoreboard club is awesome, and I understand.

I pseudo like the idea but I don't like the mock up of it. Open suites where you can be super comfortable, have drinks and still be a part of the atmosphere would be pretty awesome. A big downside to most suites is that it takes you out of the crowd, which is part of the point. Better thought out cabanas would be pretty badass if executed well.
