i would love to see that retractable roof, but i really like the stadium we have now or the one we are going to build that would bowl the one end. the jacobson building is something most universities don't have right next to the field. i dont know what this new stadium is supposed to be like but we need to add seats to those hillsides.

Chizek brings us success. Jack Trice enhancements are nice but finally the core structure is crumbling and we have the $ to do better. The NEW Cyclone stadium is built....70,000 seats. Retractable roof to keep out the wind and nasty November weather. Luxury suites. Yeah baby.

The question I have is now that we have everything going in place. The fact that we all are estatic about the hire. That we heard Pollard state "We talk the talk, but will we sellout now to support the program or are we just talking? Me I will do what I have to support him. I think we all should

I say fix up Jack Trice. Fix what's failing and put the "old school brick" around that ugly metal. THAT will look sweet

That WOULD be sweet. I always prefer the old-style stadiums, in all sports. Wrigley, Fenway, those are parks that I will want to take my kids to. Camp Randall (which, after renovations, looks AMAZING), The Big House, The Horseshoe, Notre Dame Stadium. All of those are really cool looking places. I would absolutely go ballistic if we put up an old-school brick facade around JT.
