You don't need to see highlights or scores. Concentrate on what is happening on the field for four quarters. Watch TGBFTL at half-time. Three fricking hours. Could care less about concessions. I eat before the game. I can go three fricking hours without stuffing my face. YES, improve the restrooms to where it doesn't take forever to get in and out. More stalls (Not pissing in a cattle trough next to a drunk cretin) and easier entry /exit.


Lol, what a fricking idiot.

The trend in new stadium construction and redos is a normal lower bowl, open plaza level and then suites stacked 6-7 levels high replacing upper level seating. Probably can’t do all that with historical nature of TS.

I would expect a redo of PMAC and some sort of shared plaza level to be a part of this.

I’d rather check my phone than listen to Dan Borne introduce a donor or watch a bunch of commercials on the scoreboard during every stoppage in play.

The inability to disagree with someone without name calling would suggest who is the more mentally challenged.

PMAC should be the first and where most of the funds need to be allocated

Abate the Asbestos in the old dorm rooms and change the areas for restaurant type concessions with huge bathrooms. There’s South, East and North Dorms.

I would like them to reduce the number of seats, by adding real seats that are wider and with more leg room.
I think you should go for a more comfortable experience if you are going to get people to leave their Lazy Boys and 70+ UHD screens. After that, the priority would be to improve the wifi, the concessions and the bathrooms.

In no particular order they need to do these:

1. Replace those cheap arse bleachers down the lines at the Box with nice chair back seats. the Box has really fallen behind other stadiums especially in the SEC.

2. Completely replace the PMAC - you can only put so much lipstick on a pig. Copy Ole Miss's Pavilion.

3. Renovate Tiger Stadium right - More leg room, better quality seats - all lower bowl seats have chair backs.

Completely gut the internals and start from scratch on concessions/ bathrooms - would probably take years but would be worth it if we're going to be using the place for another 50-100 years.

In what way? Reno or replace? 650MM is a huge number and I think they could carve out 80-100MM for a new arena.

It’d be nice to give our 31 time national champion track program a nice outdoor facility to work with.

Also I hope 5 mill is allocated for tPear statue

.

Houston’s Arena was in 100x worse shape than the PMAC. They spent 60 million on renovations and that place looks brand new. Florida’s renovation was $64.5 million. Auburn Arena was $86 million. Ole Miss was $96.5 million.

The best idea I’ve heard though is to build a new track stadium near the river and build a new PMAC where the track is currently. Or do a completely renovation of the PMAC and build a big parking garage where the track is and have shops and restaurants occupy the 1st floor.

For anyone who went to the SECCG/Peach Bowl, MBS set's the damn mark. Excellent bathrooms, cheap and decent food (with free refills), and free wifi.
