If you want students to go to games, have them live at the stadium!

They blew an opportunity to put balconies facing the field

Imagine if Nebraska had done this in 1960??? Those dorms would have 2 decks on top of them by now and would've been sold to Warren Buffet for eleventy-kajillion dollars.

EDIT: I'd also imagine this would be a "creative" way to use state dollars earmarked for student housing to renovate your football stadium.

How do we do that with the dome lol

Put like a 7 story dorm attached to the dome and then build a convention center underneath it or a big donor room worh all the amenities lol They could have a skyway going to the SHAC

Although this would be a great idea for this

So when the students leave at halftime, where do they go? Home?

Brings new meaning to the phrase, "this is our house"

At first I didn’t think the kids would like the lack of privacy. Then I remembered that JSU’s “20,000” attendance numbers are just made up and they really only have like 3500 butts in seats.

Might help season ticket sales if parents can figure out which room is their kids’ and they can keep an eye on them 6-7 Saturdays in the fall.

Honestly I love the idea, but where is their concourse there? There’s no bathrooms, concessions, etc.
