The Dome is fine and it could be upgraded for a fraction of building a new stadium. We could add onto the Dome. It is also my understanding that contrary to what has been reported here we could go up and add a luxury section on one side. All of the seating could be replaced. etc...  For way less than the cost of building a new football and basketball facility the Dome could be made new much in the way chicago opted to keep Soldier field. This is what should be done and most likely will be done.  The Tailgate issue can be solved in other ways. It will never be perfect but to think that the university is going to make a decision to build a 300-500m facility off campus so that we can tailgate at 6 games a year is foolish.  The Dome is a great facility. I have had the good fortune to attend games across the country and world and we have a great venue.  There is nothing like walking onto the Quad on a great fall day after passing Lincoln on your way to ED and the Dome.  Before or after the game you dont have to drive to be on campus and enjoy all that M street has to offer.  Taking this off campus would kill any chance of getting the students back.  Can you imagine a bball game in the middle of Feb during a cold winter day? The only place that might make any sense at all is skytop and that is a stretch. Sure having the dome on campus has its drawbacks but we are so fortunate to have one of the greatest stadiums smak dab in the middle of campus. I think our next move will be a soliders field type move
