Message: [QUOTE="nzm136, post: 3577142, member: 2531"] Last I heard they couldn’t expand the footprint without incredible amounts of money because of the way the walls are built. I’d MUCH rather spend money on things that are visible, which is the exterior of the building. I don’t personally care about any of the things that you listed. In fact, I’ll be so bold as to say that the same people who gripe endlessly about concourses are the same people who gripe about the temperature (forgetting that the Dome on a “bad” day was/is still infinitely better than most major stadiums on an average day). And the finite supply of money is why the school should invest in things that are highly visible. We don’t have the cash to invest in the stuff that isn’t. We aren’t an SEC school that can pour cash into a everything with the hope that something will stick. As far as your point about other stadiums, I suggest you spend more time around the stadiums that you listed. You’re in left field. And yes, before you ask, I’ve spent more time walking through their cow fields than you’ve spent watching PSU football.

And for context, an academic building literally fell over when I was a student there (the brick just collapsed in on itself), and yet Beaver stadium’s exterior was never NOT immaculate. Actually, speaking of Beaver Stadium, as of the last time I was in the stadium (~2010), the stadium didn’t accept credit cards. (...and you’re worried about concourse widths while telling me the outside doesn’t matter.) But jumping back to SU and the Carrier Dome specifically, how many years did we spend hiding Archibald from recruits while showing them models of the Dome? As for Notre Dame, I suggest you open your eyes next time you visit. There’s a reason why the stadium looks the way it does, and that image is extremely carefully curated, and I assure you that it has nothing to do with fan comforts (otherwise they’d expand and put in bucket seating).

Actually, speaking of fan comforts, this is what Notre Dame provides: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1604362762937.jpeg"]190412[/ATTACH] You tell me where their priorities are. [/QUOTE]
