we really don't need more empty seats at the games.  expansion is unnecessary at this point in time.

Wasn't the stadium at capacity for 6 of the 7 games last year?  And aren't we only a handful of tickets away from being completely sold out for all 8 games this year?  What empty seats are you referring to?

I think we're doing a good job of selling seats, but I don't think that we have a lot of excess demand at current prices.  In addition, last year we were national title contenders.  Average years we are not going to be sold out that often

i just don't understand why we're putting a bunch of hockey scoreboards up on the westside.

Drove by BSFS today. Still no new east side lights. Plenty of time, however.

They are for fantasy football stats and dental insurance advertisements.  I have never seen them used for anything else.

I really enjoy the ribbon boards in Arrowhead.  I'm pro ribbon boards and think if they do it right they will look great in BSFS.

I'm quite confident it will be the above.  You can design the digital signage content anyway you want.  I mean just think of all the cool Briggs advertisements popping up during timeouts.

I just hope it scrolls the play clock continuously so that we can all boo Snyder when the plays aren't timely executed.

Does that include replacing the south one again?   :pray:

I hope so, it's big but outdated. To eliminate the Vanier problem I think they shoul put a massive one south side and smaller ones in the sw and se corners

On 3rd down Harleys start scrolling, and instead of just yelling loud nonsense we make loud Harley noises.

well then make it one big wrap around screen i dont care im just sick of the "cant get a new north screen until a new vanier is completed" talking point. pisses me off that we have all the engineering/architecture we want at our disposal and they cant figure out how to get a big board up there. most stadiums dont have boards on both ends anyways
