Too, they hacked off fans who traditionally sat in areas that were tarped.

I dont think extensive tarping to this degree has been done. I am sure there are details that would have to be negotiated, but those can be dealt with. Tarping is done at many stadiums across the country. It is the practical way to economically gave a 30-35K stadium & also preserve a 50K+ stadium needed for the Liberty Bowl stadium. A plan for this needs to be factored into the upcoming stadium renovations.

on the west side

they have taken away rows 70-100 in the middle with the decking

But, that is very minimal and doesnt really address the over-supply of seats.

I'll give Tulane credit, they could have moved that game to the Superdome and made a bunch more money. They didn't and kept it there.

Are we giving them a medal?

you know that Ole Prius is in the top 25 right?
11th worst?
Not since Lane has been coaching them.

Because they're in the $EC and the season's still young?

I was just saying that Ole Prius is not the 11th or 12th worst team in the SEC.
Those honors will belong to Vandy, Arkansas, Florida, or South Carolina this year.

I hear ya. I meant it as the pundits are going to kiss $EC butt and rank as many undeserving teams as possible.

yep.
I don't like Tulane...but it looks like our work is going to be be cut out for us this year.
They're going to make us earn the AAC title this year...if we can.

I noticed they didn't have the "party decks" set up at the Bethune Cookman game except for under the Press Box, so maybe that's something that has gone away ...

I agree with the use of tarps ... Both endzones and from the tops of the 2nd level portals upwards probably should be tarped off ....

Yes, just MAKE the 30000 seat stadium that we need. Easily expandable. ?
