if i'm being honest, this is my favorite thread on gE.c. SB should consider going on a journey to every P5 stadium and writing up a review of it. i'd pay good money for that book. great job again, SB.
I could call it "The Eyeblack Odyssey."
i'm surprised you didn't comment on how the press box interacts with the overhang -- at least I think that's the pressbox. anyhow, those seats to the sides of whatever that is just at the base of the overhang are pretty lousy. not michigan lousy, but still not good.
I think you're talking about these photos, right?
Yeah. I noticed those seats after looking really closely yesterday morning and got kind of irrationally angry. I mean it's just not fair to those people.
Why, in this day and age, is there ANY excuse to have obstructed view seating on new construction? And even more than that, it's just like, what in the world, man? Why would you spend gabillions of dollars and tear everything down and build it back up again only to have that weird press box thingy span like 112 yards instead of just the full 120 or whatever? Sick of this. So steamed.
also, those speakers on the overhang are pretty impressive. bet it gets really loud.
Probably really awesome when they get their Nirvarnar and Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots and Soundgarden really crankin', amirite? (Seattle is famous for grunge music for those of you who didn't know, it's just a li'l SB joke in there for ya.)
re. your point about tall upper decks, i was always struck by how tall A&M's endzones were. Udub's may be taller though.
Actually, you're right. I had totally forgotten about The Zone. Which is weird because I've sat there twice. Not sure which is more tall, aTm or UW, I just know that in general I like my upper decks like I like my women, tall and top heavy, amirite? (just another lil SB 'guy' joke in there for ya
)
Dlew what are your thoughts on The Triple A/HecEdPav?
