76k is a good size for us. It's a small state.
We're good.

State’s renovation a few years has made DWS very nice.
This is true. It's miles ahead of the Vaught from an aesthetics and appearance perspective.

How much does it cost to park in that lot out front during gamedays

VHS needs some serious work. It looks like 4 different stadiums that were mashed together. Bjork screwed is on the NEZ - it was supposed to match the SEZ, but so much of the donations ended up going into The Pavilion. The clubhouses and press boxes on the East and West need to be torn down and replaced to match the clubhouses in the SEZ. And then the outside of the stadium needs to be redone so that they match. The NEZ is just trash and cannot be saved.
This is spot on.

One of my Dad's friends has a suite that he pays 90K for.
He gets 4 parking passes for that lot.

Neyland is the best stadium in the conference
Posted on 12/26/20 at 1:16 pm to BVD
They’ve redone about half of the outside and concourses in Neyland. They were set to start the remaining sections but that was put on hold temporarily when Currie got fired.
If you’re entering on the east side, then yeah that shits old and needs some love. Same with the upper deck concourses. I think the west side looks great though.
Neyland will never be demolished. There’s no room to build a different stadium and that’s prime real estate.

Tbh Im not sure when there has been any updates.
Tiger Stadium Timeline:
* 1924 – The stadium was first constructed to include the east and west stands, seating about 12,000 people.
* 1931-1935 – The east and west stands were raised to seat 10,000 more fans, bringing capacity to 22,000, and stadium dormitories were constructed under the stands to house 1,500 students. Lights and a scoreboard were also added to Tiger stadium during this time.
* 1936 – North end stands with 24,000 seats were constructed to create a horseshoe configuration, increasing total seats to 46,000.
* 1953 – The south end stands were completed, transforming the horseshoe into a bowl and bringing seating capacity to 67,720.
* 1978 – The upper deck above the west stands was built along with additional seating in two club level sections, adding about 10,000 seats to increase entire stadium capacity to 78,000.
* 1985-1987 – The stands were waterproofed, old bleachers were replaced and 25,000 chair-back seats replaced older bench seats. The field was also moved 11 feet south to make room between the back line of the north end zone and the curvature of the stadium fence. More seats were added to the west lower stands, and seating size was reconfigured to make all seats uniform.
* 1988-1994 – Bleacher seating was added, increasing the overall capacity to about 80,150. However, some bleacher seating was removed in 1994, decreasing seating capacity to 80,000.
* 2000 – Seating capacity reached 92,000 with the addition of 11,600 seats in the upper east deck and 70 luxury boxes, or “Tiger Dens.”
* 2005-2006 – The west upper deck project, which added 3,200 club-level seats and added a new press box, was completed. The west upper deck was also renovated to mirror the east upper deck.
* 2009 – An 80-foot wide high-definition video board was installed in the north end zone.
* 2010 – Windows on the stadium’s north side were refurbished to preserve the look of Tiger Stadium.
* 2012 – A lighting system was installed to illuminate the north end of the stadium in “victory gold” lights after an LSU win. Letters spelling out Tiger Stadium were also added on the west side.
* 2014 – The south end zone added 66 suites, 3,000 club seats above the existing south end seats and 1,400 general public seats above the new club seats. Seating capacity increased to 102,321.

Dude no.
Just keep em updated is all Im saying.
Have you ever been out with your friends bar hopping and you hit this one bar. You're fricked up, the place is amazing, the alcohol is flowing. You're having the time of your life. You leave and drive by that same bar during the day and it looks like the biggest shithole ever.
Some of these old stadiums look like that. Respect yourself, your fans...don't let your stadium become that shithole bar.

I like VHS. It has a classic look, good views everywhere except the student section corner, but they stuff the band there so who cares. Great locale on campus to flow from Grove to game. Huge jumbotron. Gets really LOUD with the bowl shape.
I think too many are in a rush to go bigger. Downsizing and adding to the fan experience is the better move. I think UM should focus on that vs any massive additions.

Stfu. Your stadium is the least iconic in the SEC.

BTW Bama needs to get rid of that laser lightshow. It ruins the allure of Alabama football and makes you look like some gimmicky AAC school.

And LSU will do the same within 5 years.As will almost every other SEC that isn't poor.
Its really not about the fan experience BTW. Its ALL about impressing recruits at the game and watching.
The "fan expirience" is the last thing our AD cares about.

Until every stadium has chairbacks everywhere but the student section, we all need improvement. Some personal space that the person next to you cannot infringe upon would be nice.
