You Decide Football Expansion
If you could make any expansion you wanted on Williams Stadium for the next round of building, what would you add?

I would make the student side match the home side. Right now it looks like a half built stadium.

1) I would do a mirror image of the Baptist side onto the Student side..... tower, two decks, and all the amenities.

2) I would add pizza slice shaped section on the ends of the field nearest the home locker room, to close the field in some and create more of a bowl. I would add a pedway joining those sections to make both sides accessible.

3) I would bowl in the other end zone, with lower level stands, creating a horseshoe effect for the stadium as a whole.

4) Every seat would be chairback seating with cup holders in front of you.

If we went FBS tomorrow, then I'd have the student side match the other side like most agree. Get attendance ready for like 35,000 people so that when the big time programs come then we'll fill the stadium.

From there then I'd fill in the two "short" sides with stands so that we can get a circular shape going on our way towards the max of 65,000 or so that we want if/when we go P5.

Like most, I would first expand the visitor/student side and add the suites to balance the footprint. Then the end zones.

And I harken back to a previous post of mine somewhere in the cyber world: Though it would not be part of expansion, I want a roller coaster and sky lift that deliver people back to their parking areas.

Now that would be way cool.

Domes can be good, or bad. Take ETSU's dome. It's is by all acknowledged accounts a pit. Shabby and poorly designed. Now the FargoDome is another issue.

Not a fan of domes at all. Now retractable roof stadiums..... that's a different story. I'm all in with that.

Domes can be good in the right situation. I would hate to build a dome and then need to expand for more seats. The weather isn't bad enough in Lynchburg that a dome would be useful.

Great signing day event in the foc tonight. Barber announced that they would be replacing the video screen on the FOC with one that is 3 times bigger (abt 2200 sqft) and much more clear. The current screen will move on the other side. This is to happen Before the upcoming 2015 season.

That is going to be a huge screen if it is 3 times larger. Look forward to watching the FB event online tomorrow.

Any word as to why they are replacing the turf again? It was recently replaced.

How recent was this? When the logo was changed, I thought it was just patched and the end zones were replaced.
