Why does everyone keep saying this??  The dome is NOT OLD AT ALL. Not counting the two NFL stadiums, we are in by far the newest stadium.

ACC Stadium Openings...

[I]Pitt, Heinz Field - 2001
Miami, Sun Life - 1987[/I]
[B]Syracuse, Carrier Dome - 1980[/B]
Wake, BBT - 1968
NC State, Carter Finley - 1968
VaTech, Lane Stadium - 1965
BC, Alumni Stadium - 1957
Maryland, Byrd - 1950
FSU, Doake Campbell - 1950
Clemson, Memorial Stadium - 1942
Duke, Wallace Wade - 1929
UNC, Kenan Memorial - 1927
Georgia Tech, Bobby Dodd - 1913
UVA, Scott Stadium -1931

The DOme Sucks becuase it is too big for our fanbase and the sea of aluminum is AWFUL.  The gray from the concrete is AWFUL.  And the Lighting is terrible.  If you simply changed the aluminum seats to Navy Blue or Orange ACTUAL SEATS, it would drastically improve the dome.

You want new Luxo suites, the gut the existing ones and start over.  We have a unique venue for basketball.  Playing in front of 34k is a big recruiting pitch.  Lose that by moving to a new 20k basketball/hockey rink will impact us.

The dome just needs some sprucing up.
