Now that we are finally playing most games on campus, McGuirk will be upgraded. But all the locals pissed off by moving to Gillette and a poor winning percentage has hurt. Get a few wins and sell outs for the justification and you will see plans moving forward.

Now that most of the games are back on campus UMASS should expand the stadium in short spurts starting with more seating in the open end zone. Closing that end should get McGuirk up to around 24k if the expansion is done right. Modernizing and upgrading the other facilities at the stadium should give UMASS a nice game day atmosphere to draw in fans with winning seasons. Good luck with everything.
