EGRIZ "under the lights"

[4mcruenomore]

WOW, is all I have to say
I am jealous we don't have an outdoor stadium.......

[sambini]

Very nice I was impressed when we were there. GREAT TAILGATING++

I'm glad we don't.

Average attendance would drop 4k easily.

[sambini]

They hold 23k for every home game. It was a great experience when we went out there and beat the GRIZ. I was fortunate enough to be on the sideline. We will be plaing in the dome for quite awhile. But if we can sell out the dome and get it rocking like they do at MONTANA. Wow that would be great.

I am torn on the issue of an outdoor stadium. The "under the lights" appeal is very nice and so is the ability to increase the capacity, but having the games indoors opens the door to less hardcore fans who don't necessarily want to freeze. FFD definitely more than adequate for now.

[2006gwfcchamps]

I also think the dome can be increased. It might have to be creatively, but I think it's possible.

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

I think that about the only way of doing that would be to ge seats into the open areas at the corners of the dome.

[2006gwfcchamps]

I was thinking something like a 2nd deck.

Maybe something like this:

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

Yeah, filling the corners should be the thing to do. I wouldnt think that would be too difficult. Would it be?

The complication I could see is fire codes. Currently those areas serve as exits for sections on either side of them, so a total of eight sections. I'm guessing they could get seating in without blocking those areas though.

Yeah, great view through those roof support beams in the corners! ;D
