You kill me. You have to be the funniest poster on this board!

I don't think anyone on this board has an opinion on that subject. The thread will probably die due to lack on interest.

I think the new stadium should be built to just fit our average attendance based on the last 7 years, then the stadium would look full all the time!!!

I disagree completely. I think we should build it based not on how many fans we actually draw but how many fans a school of our size, with the size of our alumni base, the size of the metropolitan area we live in, and the opponents we might/hypothetically/maybe bring in should we build a stadium large enough for their large contingent of visiting fans. I think we should do this because anyone who knows anything about anything knows that if you want to fix a problem it's best not to look for the sensible short-term solution but much better to look for the hyper expensive pie in the sky alternative regardless of whether it prevents you from doing something about the problem for an additional decade because of cost prohibitions.

Personally I'm pro Stadium. That's all I have to say about that.

Do we really need a new stadium???

greenminer · August 16, 2007

well, we're gonna need a donor. Can we get them to a practice? Nothing wrong with showing them our product.

We'll probably need a couple mil just to do a feasibility study. crazy.

I like Fouts. I know it's not the best place to play a or watch a football game, but if you think about it, It's been a tradition since 1952.

I can't do this.....

I tried to pretend like I like Fouts, but i just can't. I can't wait to see Fouts as a pile of busted concrete and steel.

I think he was being sarcastic...although I do agree with you. It is like "Dressing for Success"...or "dressing" for the job you want, not the job you already have.

Wow, I don't know what I was thinking I do like your plan better!

This thread proves that you can always get stadium talk to stick.

At first I really didn't think this thread would live. But now, I see it has made it to page two.

Quoner is a genius!

And to think in college I had to be drunk to talk about that same thing over and over again. Now I just have to be at work.

I think our new uniforms look a lot like SLC's...what do you think?

On a more serious note, I just got back from a cross country car trip up through the Midwest and back down the Eastern Seaboard. We stopped and toured a lot of schools and stadiums including still 1AA WKU. I wasn't very impressed with WKU's Bowling Green campus, but the double decker eastern side of their stadium was pretty impressive. Now they picked up close to 40 million to renovate the west side along with the endzones. If little Western Kentucky in little old Bowling Green can do it, why the hell can't we? Pretty depressing. Also, I was very impressed with Louisville's new Papa John's Stadium down the road from WKU. It's amazing what a little success can do for you.
