Anyone else get the Jerry Richardson Stadium Improvement Survey?

I did. I am glad to see them asking for feedback. If we have night games that solves just about all the problems for me.

Aside from that, the only thing that sucks on game day is the shitty students.

Pretty much my only issue too, along with better wireless. Being a perv, I also said move the Gold Dusters around too.

I think we have 4000 students that show up every game so now their sections should look better. Hopefully we get those extra seats sold now.

Love to see some actual cheer leaders… or like texas a&m has, yell leaders that could inspire the students, or at least unify them and make it fun… the back and forth green white doesn’t work in a football stadium, time to learn[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=1].[/size][/font]

If only they knew how to do that FORTY / NINERS chant. That would be really cool if we could get one side of the stadium to yell one thing, and then the other side to yell something else in response.

Man, imagine how cool that would be?

Amirite?[/quote]

Being able to tie up to light poles in opposite corners should make it easier for clt to hover above the stadium. All he needs is some long rope.

Not our stadium, but interesting outside the box thinking…

I know a lot of people don’t like the “cheap appearance” of UCF’s stadium, but at the end of the day----they got a 40,000 seat stadium with much larger press box and suites for ~ the same money we spent on 15,000 seats with essentially no press box or suites. :’( I think we should have followed their model.

Ours won’t need replacing in 20 years though.

I hate stuff like this. I get it but I hate it.

I miss when stadiums were just stadiums and the game itself was the reason you went, not the delicious margaritas and jumbotron.

I’ve been to Jerryworld for a few events and while it looks impressive as hell from the outside, inside it is reminiscent of a mall or an airport. Everything is designed to take your eyes off the field. It is the epitome of what is wrong with sports.

I cannot express how much I detest this and what it stands for.

And how little respect I have for the people who approved it and are paying for it.

What a crock of shit.

[Niner_National]

agree with the above.

Also, while I’m jealous of UCF’s support, I hate their stadium. Looks like a cheap piece of crap. I’m so glad we didn’t go with the steel erector set style of stadium.

The bottom line… I’ll take their AD over ours any day of the week. That’s the best way I know to sum things up.

We can piss over Judy for several things, but facilities are not one of them.

I don’t like the way their stadium looks.

Ours will grow in time.
