    There's basically no place in the stadium that will accommodate folks your height comfortably and there never has been. Even someone my height (5'11") isn't very comfortable on a sweaty Sat....you just gotta get up for it and if you can't hang, stay at home in the A/C in front of the big screen.

    Florida Field is a dump! It’s been a dump since I graduated in 75.
    Thankfully we have an AD who will get off his ass instead of just sitting around grinning thinking everything is great “we are Florida” That BS attitude will and has set us back .
    The upgrades that Scott Striklin has made is awesome! Some of you will never accept him but he is an upgrade.

    I suppose! Honestly wish they would tear the thing down and start over with a new facility. Florida could split home games in Jax , Orlando, Tampa for 2 years

    It takes two years to build a custom home. Do you think they could actually pull that off on a couple years.

    I guess if you want a pro stadium for a newly pro team, then more power to you. If you can afford it, that is. Or you could just save time and go be a fan of the Jags or Bucs.

    Well said. BHG is a shrine. The heat, humidity, metal benches, the inevitable storm, peeling paint, the stench, the noise...all of it. You just got to love Florida and Gator Country on a glorious September. Who we are and what we do.

    I’m over the greed and sports in general because of it. It’s to the point now that I wish it would all crash and burn so the rich f’s profiting from it would also. What a messed up country (and world too for the most part).
