Iām bias because I thought of these but I think thereās some kind of iteration of the names below that could be used that is way better than the 49th acre.
Pick Axe Park
Niner Gold Park
Nugget Park
The Gold Mine
The Gold Pan
Bleed Green Corner
The Sluice Box
Normās Gold Box
The 49th yard (yard is at least on the football field)
49th yard sounds like a drinking challengeā¦
Why not the 49th Level of Hell
It will be, by mid-season.
IMO, Itās one of those situations where the area will only be called by itās official name in school announcements and never actually used in everyday conversation.
You guys are tough to please. I like it.

Yes it does bc recruits dont want o play in the smallest fbs stadium and this has absolutely been used against us in recruitibg.
I listened the interview through the stadium expansion topic. No specifics. Just said it needs to be expanded and they are working on the plan.
Iām pretty sure the Cylones on Battlestar Galactica told us their plan in less time.
Yeah, I listened, and when Mike talked about stadium expansion he sounded like Dave Tepper talking about the Panthersā need for a better quarterback than Sam Darnoldā¦he said something, but he didnāt really say anything.

If it comes down to spending millions of dollars to hire good coaching staffs for Football and Basketball and spending 10ās of millions of dollars for stadium epansion I would prefer getting the coaching situation right first. I donāt care how big our stadium is if we canāt sniff the top of our conference or a conference championship. Hire the right coaches and win and everything else will take care of itself. Bring in temporary seating again if we need to or set them up permanently until there is enough demand and interest in the program to pay for expansion. If the money aināt there we shouldnāt force it.

Hill shows about as much enthusiasm for stadium expansion as Judy did for starting football in the early 2000ās.

This is why he was Philās choice. Judy was bad - but I canāt quantify how bad I detest that man when it comes to his part in destroying athletics. Donāt forget- Hill is a Chapel Cheat man at the core, Phil loved him some chapel cheat.
