What needs to be fixed/upgraded the most, especially in time for the SB in 3 years?
New jumbotron?
PA System?
Concessions?
Cup Holders?
Bathrooms?

They are in the process of re doing the inside right now. They started the day after the NFC Championship game.

To the tune of $45 million dollars I might add. That's how much of a budget they set aside for it - although I don't know which General Contractor ended up winning the bid or how much the winning bid was.

Knock out one of the walls and add more seating, please!! The Bowl games for college football is way too hard to get tickets for, and they are much more expensive than the other bowls because of the supply and demand!

You must have skipped the Sugar bowl the last few years.

I know a lot of you are going to groan about this, but they need to add a smoking deck for the upper levels. Takes almost a whole quarter to walk to the area and back now.

I say that if you can't go 3+ hours without a cigarette, tough shite.

And where would they put a smoking deck for the upper levels?

When you're a nervous wreck for 3+ hours, a smoke is nice to have, that's all.

I know it's impossible, but a man can dream, right?

tear it down and start over....if you are in the "nosebleed"-- which i am...no amount of "improvements" will take away the fact that it is a terrible place to watch an N.F.L. game.

The Jumbotron and P.A. system is only 3 years old. There is no way they replace these again.

whats your stance on the smokers inside the dome tygerfan?

a. seek and destroy
b. look the other way b/c you're not all about spoiling a good time for your fellow die hards?

I'm in the nosebleeds and I LOVE the Dome. I find it a great place to watch a game.

IMO Widening the concourses is the most important thing.The new club area is great,new HD screens would be nice as well.
