Great piece Flyer.

With all this talk going around about the new stadium how can peope not get excited about this? If thing does not pass then I think it will be a huge kick in the groin and I am just not sure if we will be able to recover for quite a while. I hope this thing gets passed in October.

Terrific article, Flyer! You are amazing in that you can keep up with your graduate studies, take on the stadium project and get married in the same time period. Congratulations on your wedding and thanks for all you have done to promote the stadium.

........and 33 1/2 yards away from the nearest point of the playing surface, to be exact.

Excellent article dude.

You've put that up before and it just hurts to look at every time. I wish I could have been around the day it was deliberated to put a track around the football field. I'm sure they extolled the efficiencies. When I went to Scott Stadium at Virginia the first time, I was like, 'Oh.' Nice Stadium or not, they are terrible though. However, that does not take away from the fact that a good stadium is part of the deal if you want a big-time program. (So is a big-time coaching staff.)

Do you think that new Minnesota stadium would float down the river if we try to steal it?

That's how stadiums were build back in the old days. Look at Memorial Stadium in Austin. And Kyle field in S.C. They all had tracks before the stands were extended toward the field. LSU's Tiger Stadium looked the same way. There was an old concrete wall originally, and 2 or 3 rows of seating were added in front of said wall. It was done for efficiency. two venues in one. Good idea on paper. Bad idea in the stands.
