re: Will Tiger Stadium Ever Expand To Hold Over 100,000 People?

Bama's stadium is the best one that I've ever seen both interior and exterior in the SEC. I'm 60 yrs old and everytime we played Bama, while I was at LSU, we always played them at Legion Field. I'll never forget when I went to a basketball game at Bama, back in the early 80's. BDS, was a little thing back then that a little less than 35,000 was at full capacity. My best friend went to school at Bama and he was pissed when he was a freshman and all of the home games against good SEC teams were at Legion Field. He didn't have a car but had to hope that he knew someone that was going to the game. The exterior of TS is a dump and I went to school there when guys lived in the stadium. I wouldn't worry about expansion, but how TS. could be more appealing to its rich fans. Yeah, I belong to TAF, but compared to BDS, TS is a dump. Even the erector set at Tenn. looks better.

how would an RV get to the top of the parking deck? not trying to be rude!

Separate ramp than regular car entrance, one that only goes to the top

The most likely parking design will be RV's only on ground floor, cars all others...

Anyone ever been to a NFL game? It sucks compared to the gameday atmosphere at Tiger Stadium!

Guess you've never been to the Superdome.

Also, they could take the Old Alex Box lot, build a 3 to 5 story parking garage, and save the top level for RV and tailgaters. That would help parking... maybe not traffic necessarily, but thousands of fans would have a shorter walk.

There are plans for a parking garage to be built where the current women and affrican american centers are currently located right accross Highland rd from the student union. Yes they are tearing them down and not rebuilding them *GASP*. What I find interesting about this is that Highland road can't handle the traffic it gets from the dorms and on campus living right now (as it's single lane), so I'm not sure why they decided to put the garage there.

They're building space for the displaced offices into the ground floor of the new parking facility. The bookstore is being moved to that location as well.
