The defense let them down against BC and then they ran out of gas against Tulane. Good run though and really good season (accomplishment wise).

A lot of poor baselining as well.

Second largest screen in college football. Only Auburn's is bigger.

Seems like the closing in the south end zone thing is not going to happen any time soon. This screen currently prevents any structure very much taller than the current one.

Yeah, other than recruiting, there is really no need to do anything to the stadium right now.

It's not the seating that needs upgrading it's what lies below(locker rooms, press area), getting a larger concourse, etc. I see them rebuilding the south end zone and closing off the bowl within 10 years at the latest.

I did some work with FFKR architects downtown. They had a 3-D model in their lobby (not sure if it's still there) of their south endzone proposal. I thought the seats in that addition went as high as the seats on the east and west sides, but based on the height of the video monitor I guess they've changed that. No big deal because end zone seats are the worst view in football.
