I think that looks great! It's the little things like this that really make a difference. MT really gets "facilities!"

Agree MT knows facilities. But does he know anything about gastronomy. I dont like standing in that cold drafty NE corner of the Hall to get a hot dog or popcorn.
Embrace the pace of the race.

I am probably the only one who shows up in line when the nearby door is opening a lot to let the band, cheerleaders, and other workers in. If the wind is out of NE or East, it is brutal.
Embrace the pace of the race.

So the north upper bleacher area is going to be retractable so that it can be used by other sports for much needed practice area. A huge purple curtain with humongous "Rocky" logo will divide this space from the main bowl area. At this point, making the space you have as "useful" as possible is the only way to go! I really think we are all going to like an updated "Hall!" jc
jcLookin' nice...

That does look nice!
Now we need to come up with some ideas for something similar inside the arena. The east wall (the roll-up doors) would be a good place to start.
Before the new seats were installed, there was signage at the top of the south main floor seats that said "Western Hall. Home of the Fighting Leathernecks". There is no room for it at that location now. Maybe it could be placed on the east wall ???? Right now, it is just stacked up on the floor near the concession stand.
