I wonder if stAte fans that sit near the waterfalls have to go the bathrooms more. Is there quick access to the restrooms there? Better yet, is the beer cart close?
As far as the Joan goes, I think we had included in the end zone project concessions and restroom renovation, as well as spacing out the concourses. It's gridlock in there for a sold out game.

I may be naive (many would agree) but I think this is simply Marshall pride in our sports program and university. I doubt it has much of anything to do with beefing up a resume to move to a different league.

I’ve wondered this myself. And no, bathrooms are near concessions.

I' don't know but I'd guess this is more about staying competitive in the SBC. The league has some nice facilities across all sports. It'll be an arms race over the next few years.

I agree, I definitely don't think this is posturing, simply offering up improvements to be competitive within the conference.

So funny irony here.
Aresco was just on Sirius 84, and when asked what they looked for when they chose teams to expand he said "Football strength. It's what drives our media deals"
But about 10 min before that when he was touting the tough non-conference slate his teams are playing this year, he went through each team, and called out all the P5 games they were playing, but also included Boise, Marshall and App.
Which is it man?

Since a lot of the projects have a completion date of 2027, I wonder if we currently have the money for all this or if it is dependent on another fund raising project? The ALL M logo on the page makes me think another fundraising letter and phone call will be coming to me soon.

This is definitely not posturing for another conference. We know we aren’t going to a P5 conference and we are already in the best G5 conference

The bathrooms litterally share a cubby hole with the bathroom doors, I've seen visiting fans accidently walk into the concession stand because it's the wrong door I think all this stuff is trying to step up showing the folks in the new conference we're willing to have facilities better than CCU's 'basketball arena' and such
