Im for a new one elsewhere and not eliminating any home games. Make a throwback replica with modern amenities and all the seats. The only problem with that is it is very expensive to copy old architecture.
We stand anyway so tge seats are tge least of the issues. Bathrooms and food are terrible though. I wouldnt really mind if we had to pee in a trough in public but tgere is literally nothing worth eating fot tgat entire four hours. At a good hot day game the first of the year, that tunnel is so hot and crowded that i have almost just pulled it out and let it go. 30 mins in an oven while i hold it it is crazy. Almost in my gatorade in my seat.
I am guessing with NIL they are going to have to raise prices and it will price the average joe of of attending a game so losing 10,000 seats won’t matter
I think there is a serious misconception about what can be done and should be done. 1. Stadiums that have multi uses like Mercedes Benz stadium in Atlanta are worth the $. 2. A stadium that will be used 6 or ,7 times a year doesn't justify the stratospheric pricetag. 3. I think whatever we get will have fewer seats..not more. 4. The university golf course will move off campus..so we can have a terrific college course. The space where the current course will be open No micanopy. Jmho. 4.any serious renovations would entail an extensive demolition that would be prohibitive. 5. Don't expect a state of the art dining experience like Mercedes Benz Atlanta. Ain't happening. Nil Sucks a lot of $ out of funds available. Bama built 100000 seat stadium. We ain't going there. Nothing else to do in Tuscaloosa. We will see but expectations are misplacedimhfo.
I did get trapped in the odome bathroom in need of new shorts with very little cell service at the Tennessee game a couple years ago. My girl had to get a lady to open the clothes store at the stadium early to get them for me and a guy to bring them in looking for me. Damn food truck.
