Same for the south end. Fill the vast open space. A cool tunnel for the band that goes under permanent tower for the camera (no more scissor lift), a row of hedges, anything to fill the space.

Agree!!!

EMU can put seating or hedges or whatever in the North, South endzones or sidelines.

A real blank canvass for an artist to fill in...:

We aren't half full now and you want to add more seating! Really!

No one is talking of adding thousands of seats.

Mostly, an on-field area in the north or south endzones for fans. Maybe tents, chairs, etc.

For the most part, adds visual appeal.

Question whether EMU should put a few hundred aluminum bleacher seats on the home side for those wanting to be close to the field.

I'd be in favor of something to take up some of that 'dead space' It will look strange to not have anything. I am not a huge fan of the esthetic look of the SAPC and hope we don't follow the same architects vision. CMU did a great job of making their new building look better.

Yes. It can be done. There are a number of stadiums which were built "large enough" for American football and soccer. We are not unique having a multi- purpose sized stadium.

I believe an American football field is 120 x 58 yards. A FIFA soccer stadium is 110 x 73 yards.

Essentially another 20 feet on each side of the field. Some stadiums double as football and MLS stadia.
