![]() or just looked at google earth because on there the idea doesn't sound as outrages.. however, in person, it's easy to see why it wouldn't work

![]() Williams-Brice isn't going anywhere any time soon.
First off, it is a beloved part of our tradition and we are a tradition poor program. Second, they just installed the new video board in the North end zone., Third, after decades of trying, the Farmer's market across the street has finally been bought and made into program owned parking. Fourth, we will soon have practice facilities there that we don't have to pay rent on. Fifth, there are too many privately owned support groups (parking, condos, and tail gate sites) that would create an uproar. Sixth, and most importantly, we are maxed out on our credit line right now and it is going to take a while to get that any where near usable in the future. A new stadium would cost upwards of $800 million without land considerations and they would be massive. Seventh, the economy just wouldn't come close to supporting this. We aren't even going to see expansion in the north endzone being considered for the next decade at least. We know that they are going to landscape around the stadium before next season, after that, rest room upgrades are needed, and if any construction goes on, it should be for more room in the concourses for the people in the East Upper. You can only do that on the South end of it, but the people up there need more space. Had to meet someone up there during halftime several years ago and the place is packed. But, a new stadium? Not in the next 50 years...if then. Other schools have been using their present sites for nearly 100 years and we're at about 70 or so...If population growth happens like you say, then real estate will make it even more cost prohibitive. Besides, the campus will engulf W-B soon enough anyway. Not going to happen and it shouldn't...too much tradition there and we don't have enough of that as it is.

![]() We need to get a bigger replay screen and maybe work on getting a Bojangles stand inside the stadium...also do something about the plainness of the ramps.

![]() on a similar note to your point
the pretzels are ridiculously salty.. I had to sit there for a while trying to get all the salt off.. I ordered a pretzel, not a heart-attack

![]() Not to mention if our stadium was on campus authorities wouldn't be as lax about the drinking that goes on at the current WB. You wouldn't get away with near as much imo.(walking down sidewalks/crossing streets with open containers)

![]() NFL , MLB seem to do OK with the fold down seats. I see your point but we would not lose seats if we just converted to folding. I really like the upgread to my seats at Charlotte(formally Lowes) motor speedway. It's classy i have the same seats but more comfortable . Good callout i have never noticed if they are in (besides the high $$$ seats) any stadiums.

![]() Only renovations needed to the stadium are more SEC East banners and an SEC champion banner! Then a National Championship banner!

We lost seating capacity at The Sarge when we went to chairbacks which is why we also had to expand down the first base line. |

At The Sarge we went from being able to fit about 7-8 people on row 1 above our batrack to 6 seats total, losing 1-2 seats. And those seats weren't even as big as the ones that would be required at a football stadium. |
