Skin Ben what are your thoughts on having more rows at the 50 yard line than the goal line?
Northwestern does this and I guess it makes sense and even looks sleek, but I'm against it. I like having a ton of fans right on the goal line screaming their heads off to help the D make a goal line stand. It seems like at Northwestern once a team is inside the ten they look up and see like 12 rows of fans and aren't intimidated and can focus just fine and boom, touchdown visitors.
Hey CF3, I haven't forgotten about ya bro! :fistpound:
I guess I kind of agree with you about the ten rows of goal line stands and no noise thing. I mean no one wants the visiting team just waltzing into the end zone with no aural resistance. I kinda like the way it looks architecturally I guess, because it allows each stadium to be more unique? Maybe? And it allows for athletic departments to tout more rows near midfield? But ya, it sucks. I mean who wants crazy noise when a team is at the 50 instead of when they'e trying to punch it in on 4th and goal? Not me, that's for sure. In fact I would probably do what Nebraska did with their end zones, only waaaaay more pronounced. I would make every section between the 20 yard-lines only about 12 rows tall, then every section from each 20 going to the back of the end zone would quickly rise to about 60 rows, and then every end zone fun zone would be about, like, 330 rows tall. All of it one big section. It would look very odd but man can you imagine trying to audible on 4th and goal when you're going into an end zone section of almost 40,000 fans (preferably students on each side) all screaming their heads off? I would love that in the upcoming BSFS renovations. I think maybe I'll tweet this post to Currie and see what we can do. Also we will have to increase our enrollment by about 60,000 to really do it up right, but with NBAF and 2025 that shouldn't be too much of a problem.
