The campus is very nice now for those that haven't visited for some time. The school has done a nice job with the new dorms and shaken some of that 'commuter' school image. A stadium would be that final piece and keep the money within the school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win some games first and disguise the red & pewter in RJS before entertaining the OCS. Also need to place better team logo on mid field. Hate to see the hollow logo. Although, it will obviously be better in that regard in an ocs, I thought they did a pretty good job on the field for the ECU game considering it was a night game and the Bucs were playing at 1 the next day. Was the white flag even in the middle of the field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the white flag even in the middle of the field? You're right, that's an improvement. I wonder if that's an issue addressed by Harlan, which seemed overlooked before.

I was going to mention the Harlan angle, too .... Maybe he brought some field decorating hints with him from UCLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will provide a boost in attendance for about 3 games. Once the novelty of the new venue wears off attendance will suck unless we are winning. It comes down to having an entertaining product.

We have been to all of the games and I do not think the white surrender flag was on the field at any of them- I only remember the small iconic U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRAINSTORM on where it would actually fit? Step 1) Where would we put it? Step 2) Does the location have enough room to fit the stadium, plus 20,000+ parking spaces? Step 3) What kind of a conniption fit would the local residents have, when they realize that a stadium is being built within earshot of their house? This stadium is going to host other events other than football. (Concerts, motivational speakers, etc) There is quite a bit of empty real estate west of the Embassy Suites (where they used to do the Christmas car rides), ya'll thinking about putting it there?
