Chill bro....it was a joke
A flame would be starting a thread about it.
So sensitive

frick Auburn, but if they aren't going to expand - why not utilize the space? The idea of the backside of the scoreboard projecting the game to tailgaters is pretty cool, IMO.

Has this been confirmed? I've only read it on here.

Would be cool as hell to project to the tailgaters though.

I think this is wishful thinking, and not reality.

Unless JJ can figure out a way to charge the people outside watching the big board.

Sadly that's probably the truth...

It's not really even practical based on where it would be facing. You have the new SAC and the old arena with a small RV parking lot lined by trees. It's not like it's some huge field that extends way out that could be seen by masses.

I honestly don't believe there will be another screen on the outside.

Still a shite stadium, but that scoreboard will probably be badass, and be a good improvement to the venue overall.
Don't see a problem here.

What are the qualities that you look for out of a stadium that makes a difference to you ?

Except they are going to spend like 150 million to fix up the rest of the stadium beginning after the 2016 season

It's just very narrow. The concourses, the rows, seats, etc. Only one video board. It just feels like you're in an old stadium to me. Of course, all SEC stadiums are old, but some can mask the feeling.
Parking and concessions aren't great, either. That's less to do with the actual stadium, though.
The views are great from pretty much anywhere in the stadium, and it's the loudest venue I've been in outside of TS. So those are some good things.

Well there you go.
They obviously think they need it.

Very true.

quote:The only thing I agree with you about is the concourse being narrow. That is a product of a stadium built in the 20s. The next phase of improvements will address that issue. Seats and rows are standard for a college football stadium (bench seating). Concessions have improved, but still need more attention.

AU is a walking only campus, so parking is only outside the University's main limits. It makes tailgating more pleasant, but requires more work.

Well, if they're spending $150 million on improvements, they obviously think there are a few areas that need upgrading.
