Looks good. I might have passed on the gold/Packers yellow on the sidelines but it is fine either way.

Is the green/gold area where the player's benches are? Like the benches will be on the green part so all that really shows is the gold? I'd really like to see a picture from above (like from a drone) - maybe that's coming.

Just noticed that there is a new Seating Map for Hanson Field.
Looks like the Band has been moved to south endzone section on the east side.

Isn't that where the band has been since we went to the OVC

Yes, that change happened when we moved to the OVC. The conference has a rule that for conference games, the bands can't be within a certain yard line span...they have to be off to the side.

This appears to be a change from the last few years since joining the OVC.
This Seating Map shows the band located in the most southern seating section on the east side -- even with the goal line.
The band had been located at approx the 20 yard line in the OVC era.

Geez, conference is way wrong. Put the band at the 50 yard line just like in the days of the MVFC. Lets deal with any NCAA playoff game relocations when we get there.
