Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 272421, member: 628"] I've seen the Red Sox ownership group make improvements to Fenway Park that might have seemed impossible. They managed to open up concourses, add ammenities, add bathrooms, etc all to a 100 year old building that sits on a tiny footprint. There is absolutely no reason why some improvements couldn't be made at the Dome, assuming the university has the money and desire to do so. That being said, as much as I love the Dome, I wouldn't be against a new facility being built out at Skytop. I mean we're not talking about the distance between Storrs and East Hartford here. It's a mile. And here's the kicker: people reminisce about the amazing atmosphere and advantage that was Manley Fieldhouse. Well guess what, THAT WASN'T ON CAMPUS. At least not on the quad. Why on Earth would a football stadium in basically the same location be any different?! [/QUOTE]
