Yea, I actually think that a bowl would hurt the "feel" of the stadium. Right now, being able to look to the south and see Sherman Hall and then being able to look north and see Thompson Hall, the Rec Center, etc....it's a nice view and really makes you feel like you're in the middle of campus. I wonder if something like a bowl would kinda cut the fans off from the "campus view". Also, from what I've seen of the new renderings, plus hillside seating and possibly portable bleachers at the end zones, I could see the current configuration + west side improvements being able to seat maybe 20k people. Honestly, I doubt we'd ever need more than that unless we SIGNIFICANTLY increased enrollment, or somehow became the next North Dakota State.

Redneck, are you kidding? In this era of social media spelling and grammar are lost arts.

I pick my battles...."sweets" was funny (and you never know if you're dealing with someone who really thinks it is spelled that way).

Yup...we in da valley.

I noticed the "sweets" but didn't point it out. I can be something of a stickler about grammar, but that tends to annoy people, so I didn't mention anything. Plus, suites are pretty sweet.
