BSFS Expansion Thread

We will see the wall before we see the press box.  My $.02

Limestone wall is not happening anytime soon. AD studied it, but elected to not proceed due to a multitude of reasons. There will be improvements to the appearance of the fence/ads, but no wall.

Was my corrugated paper option given much consideration?  It looks surprisingly realistic from afar.

This is so, so sad. Would love to know the multitude of reasons though or even the two biggest ones.  I mean really. It can't be cost.

I agree.  I can't think of a single reason why we wouldn't do this.  Relative to the cost of the Press Box expansion, you'd think the wall would be chump change.  It seems like a relatively cheap way to drastically and aesthetically improve LHOFCBSFS.  Come on, John!

Funding for wall is going towards the licensing of a country/bluegrass song for the new pregame video.

 

P.S.
You feel nothing.

Unless....it would be a rip/replace project.  I.E. something that would be destroyed in the future anyways...

That wall is pocket change to not do it.

I hope this has nothing to do with ad revenue, please tell me it doesnt cc.

1.  Revenue Generation.
2.  Athlete Experience.
3.  Asthetics

The wall is a 7 figure project that produces no revenue.   I was talking about it 8 years ago, but I am willing to be patient in light of the fact that we have an AD who is actually wanting to do some big time stuff.

correct.  a poster on gpc was saying they will be putting in an LED screen wall which can place ads and do other neat-o tricks.

Sounds horrible. Limestone wall would be much better.

Yeah, that ChiTwnCat guy is clueless.

He referenced Texas' field and said this the route Currie would take.  All they did was tack a couple LED boards on the endzone wall.

If we want to maintain the ad revenue this could easily be integrated into the design in a similar, and probably much better fashion.  Simple stuff in the grand scheme of things.
 
The limestone field wall and media integration is not an either/or scenario.

[steve dave]

maybe we just line the entire base of the stands with bags of Pioneer Seed Hybrid by Pioneer Hi-Bred International Incorporated?

[Stevesie60]

I vote that we line the wall with LED screens with images of Harleys circling the field.

Just imagine the advert possibilities with a lite-brite...

[The Manhatter]

me thinks some combo of both the LED and a limestone wall would be the best.

[ew2x4]

wouldn't that wall cost, like, whatever square footage ew2x4's tile cost?  why don't we just have somebody throw it up this weekend? 

It would be cheaper.

[SkinnyBenny]

Excuse my LAIQ, but couldn't they just put up the limestone wall with no ads, and then charge companies completely out the ass for the remaining ad space? 

<-----knows nothing about how any of this works

[sonofdaxjones]

UNC has spent like $150 million on their stadum the last 15 years.   When you see stuff like this, you realize how far we have to go, and NC State right down the road has spent over $100 million.
