We do not need a berm or more seating. What we need is more people to show up to mid week games agaist teams like Nicholas and Grambling. Nothing like adding a big arse bern or more seating to see it empty for 85% of the games. It called supply and demand. The demand for extra seating is only there come postseason time. Get the gold seat ticket holders to come to games before the regionals and fill the box up for more tha. 2-3 regular season games and we can talk.



that's why I want us to replace the bleachers with chairbacks. It looks more professional and enhances the experience for fans, encouraging them to show up more. Also it pisses me off Arkansas, Ole Miss, NC and Carolina have all chairback while Bertman went cheap

However, I would imagine there is really strong demand for more suites, which is why I'd expect those to come before a berm. As a student I would just love a berm for us students to get rowdier, like what Ole Miss has. The students are just too close to families.

Adding suites is something I could see them doing. The demand is there and it makes good money.

There was originally supposed to be a berm in right field, if I remember. There were foundational issues I think, a gas line underground or something that prevented it

Where were you for the Alcorn St, Northwestern, Nicholls St or Grambling games and the stadium was over half empty?


Same can be said for Tiger Stadium when we play non conference games. But when the big games come so does the demand. The Box could easily handle more seats for big sec series games and post season play.
