Underpennings for the Upper Deck looks a little bizarre in the rendering. I liked the design of the MTSU stadium and would enjoy having that set into our footprint, with more seats of course than the 30K that they have in M'boro

In the rendering, the side of the stadium with the upper deck looks a lot like MTSU’s stadium to me.

First time a lot of those dudes have ever held a shovel, especially old pumpkin head. FRW.

I was hoping someone would hit pumpkin head with their shovel...

Watts has held a shovel before when he buried UAB football

I like this design better than the initial rendering, but they still have a ways to go. Tad Snider said the rendering could change again.

They should do things to make it a nice modern stadium like an open concourse all the way around the stadium so you can always see the game no matter where you are. Also need more than one scoreboard/video board, a ribbon board on the facade of the upper deck, and hopefully plenty of chairback seating.

You only get one chance to construct the stadium. Hopefully it's done nice.

I definitely like the idea of the concourse around the top of the lower level of seats.

Fortunately his skill as a neurologist is greater than his skill as a manual laborer. We didn't stay buried
