Changing the integrity of the stadium with the notches is not a rationale argument. Nippert looks nothing like it did circa 1991 when I went to school. Anyway, nothing for any of us to get the blood pressure up.

The purists feel that Nippert should lay dormant for everything except FB. It should never be used for anything else...even in the off-season.

I think it actually hurts their pride that the AD needs the $$ and that FB is not the cash cow they envision. They believe UC should be an NC contender when they have nowhere near the personnel or tradition to even approach that level. They are honestly shocked when the team comes up snake-eyes against poor competition.

Believe me.

I want Nip to earn more money, just did not want it permanently altered. Would be in favor of outdoor concerts, HS football, and even kickball if not altered.

The Nip has been permanently altered many times over the last 15 years without comment from the purists. Only when the notches came in did we hear protest...this leads me to believe that the opposition is to soccer, and not the fact that the facility is being altered.

The issue is not kickball or modifications, it is aesthetics!

What was done is UGLY.

...and you think that press box/private box area is attractive? Doesn't fit with the rest of the architecture and looks like it's going to fall over any second...a steel and glass eyesore...

I heard no complaints.
