why did they not make the south endzone the same as the north endzone in 1953? It would have looked so much nicer

Had it mirrored the North upper, the seats in the new South upperdeck would be worse and even further from the field. So I think it worked out well in the long run. And by the looks of the original, they could have gone back and continued the arches on the exterior.

Twofold:
1.) DIdn't have the room on that side to mirror the north enclosure. Given the space constraints, they had to make the expansion double-decked instead of a single stadium slope.
2.) We needed seats fast, but we weren't yet a very wealthy athletic department, so we took a couple shortcuts with the design. Hello, ugly pillar design.
