No hate...very happy for them. Someone showed pictures of the backside of our stadium and said they didn't like it so I responded. Only one Herd fan is busting on ODU for this.

I get that. No one from ODU should be busting anyone's chops about the 'backside of a stadium'. The backside of their previous visitor section wasn't anything to brag about. Heck, the backside of Va Tech stadium where students sit is nothing to brag about.

Hmm i don't think anyone from ODU started going into the architectural/aesthetic details of Marshal's stadium before we got dragged into the conversation and its a UTSA fan and a Marshall fan that started this disk measuring contest.

WKUYG was talking exterior aesthetics, which I agree is somewhat important. You want a good looking stadium from the street. In the new stadium it seems the front (west side) will have some brick architecture and some kind of banners to cover the underside of the bleachers and will look pretty good. The other side will be mostly exposed from what I can tell. But yeah, it's just one Marshall fan taking jabs and I think he'd even admit it's an improvement from what we had. But when a Marshall fan takes jabs, then ODU fans respond in kind and then other Marshall fans have to jump in and defend their school. That's the way these things usually escalate. No big deal, message board bickering in the off season.
