The North endzone is a no go at this point because of the road between TS and PMAC plus the fact that we spent $3 million for Mike's habitat. Alleva said he wants to put a larger screen atop the NEZ. Why? We need something in the SEZ. That board is ratty. Now for the folks saying they can't wait to hear the noise increase, I am not sure. What I have seen as it expands is businesses buying the tickets up and giving them to random folks who are not traditional fans. They don't know the traditions. They don't follow the band. They don't cheer. Is it going to be more of the same? I hope not. All that being said, I hope we expand if it is needed but not just to be the biggest or bigger. Quality over quantity any day. That is what she said!

If they want to put a few club seats in, that is fine. However, I am moreso for selling game tickets to real fans who will support the team instead of selling businesses blocks of tickets and thus keeping the rest of us from being able to get season tickets.

That said, I will be ok upgrading my TV and watching them at home until I can get a shot at season tickets, which will occur when there is a dry spell, and there will be another dry spell at some point. Programs go in cycles.

Also, because there are 3 structures attached to the stadium in the North Endzone. That was the sole reason the east upper deck wrapped around the south--because it was not feasible to wrap it around the north with the rehab room in the north endzone. The same followed with the new west upper deck because of the Lawton Room and to mirror the east side.
