I just got back from Italy and after seeing some of the amazing churches it got me thinking about some cool details that the stadium could have.   I know we all think their should be a statue of CJL and Leroy, instead of stand alone statues I think it would be bad ass if they looked like they were chisled into the stadium  

I agree with your approach, but we will likely do some modern architecture and paint it Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray.  Maybe some subway tile.

We could do an exact reproduction ( muscles and nudity included) of Michelangelo's David in Florence; with Jim Leavitt's head instead.

That would put us on the map right away.

Lot of people pitch Publix as the perfect stadium sponsor, I still think its Outback. They cancelled their bowl subscription because it was 8 million a year for 1 game a year. (this happened right after our stadium was announced, coincidence? probably)

We could pitch them on just paying around 3.5-4 million a year and be the first name to ever be attached to this stadium. Probably going to be shaped like a bowl so they can just call it "The Outback Bowl" and there's already the name recognition.

UCF gets under 2 million a year for their stadium, so for that price we'd also have to include letting them host a bowl game in our stadium. But again, in the same city under the same name the bowl would immediately hold some name recognition.

50% of the cost and they just make the bowl game smaller in prestige but in the same city, and get a stadium named after them year round.

If ours just ends up being this and the extra 60 million is inflation and having an attached football ops facility i'd be happy

Except if I was an Outback executive I would be hesitant going from the Big 10\SEC teams to whatever garbage we would host.

That being said I would be pretty happy with either Publix or Outback Stadium.

I was going to ask.  With all of these covered mockups, wouldn't a hurricane launch that covered section into one of the new live/work/play apartments down they plan on building down the road?

Think they could make the over hangs for shade using green & gold tarps. That way they can remove them easily if needed. Kind of like the Bucs do when they raise the red flags
