It’s not a tarp it’s white paint. The master plan is to completely rebuild that south end zone and add luxury suites. It was suppose to cement Bob Stull’s legacy but he pissed off some major donors. It’s still in the works but not funded yet.

make it in terraced levels with defined spaces and sell it on a per space basis with a max number of adults and or kids allowed per space.....throw some good looking retractable shade over it too

the put the money for suites into doing something between the 50s where the good viewing is and where you can have a nice press box and a good looking top off to the stands then incorporate parts of Handy Hill into the design maybe with some party decks some for rent and some for students and the people that get on those have to earn it with attendance and "fan participation" and make the prices low enough for it to be attractive to want to be able to see a game from there

Clt should have an intern clear up his schedule so he can personally visit the Sun Bowl this season. Clt should not send an intern in his place.
