Surprised nobody else mentioned this.   The only upside to the football team's mediocrity has been plenty of legroom and access to concessions.  There is plenty of space on the west side of the Dome to expand the pedestrian footprint - so if the administration wants to obsess over land that is not a performing asset - well, that parcel facing 81 is a good place to start.    The remaining perimeter space is limited to a few parking spaces, so might as well annex that pavement anyway.   There's enough room to drive in steel piles to support a third level for concessions and some additional seating to make up for the conversion to individual seats.

LED technology is lightweight -- there's no excuse not to have a semi-permanent LED screen that could be erected during basketball season right behind the pullout section.   Media scaffolding, video board, blue curtain stacked in that order.    For basketball games in particular, the Dome is a "silver horseshoe".   Instead of trying to minimize that effect with a curtain, we draw attention to it with an IPad display in the far endzone, and then we dress it up with advertising so big Ray Charles could see it.
