Didn’t Lamm leave the program at one time only to have Coach Moore talk him into coming back? If so what a great turn around, from leaving the program, to returning, to becoming a long time NFL player and now a big supporter of the team. If I’m remembering that correctly that’s good stuff.

Oline coach at the time wasn’t well liked, glad they were able to mend that fence.

Isn't that the one that the only reason he was hired was because he was friends with Jerry's son? And Jerry was attempting to make his son the HC in waiting or something?

Unsure the soap opera there, but Chris wasn’t a bright spot on the staff either.

I saw today Board of governors said we had approx 8 million for East side expansion. I thought someone demanded that it was fully funded or “the money was there”? Adamant they were im sure.

Build more seats that’s what we need.

Seats on the hill. Lets just do it already and stop piddleing with dropping millions and rearranging what we already have. Seats on the hill and make it a real stadium. The hill could have its own tower with stupidly expensive box seats selling a view of the knob and field.

Yes of course. I’m vehemently opposed to this expansion. Do the right thing and add seats on the hill build permanent seats under the ridiculously looking NEZ .

Well, I think it should happen, and I’d like to see more seats and less tower personally.

Understood. Aside from logistical obstacles for putting seats there, premium seating is the money maker.

There's plenty of room to put a third deck over the existing concessions and bathrooms. Might be better to offer a moderate option. Put a roof over the third level with stadium seats (Like the Packers did at Lambeau) and price those between the exposed seats and the premium. Hopefully the demand is there long term for premium seats in a tower, but it may or may not be sustainable.

We couldn’t even finish the NEZ properly and we’re talking about a 3rd deck?! Put a box on the knob! Just need to focus on fixing/renovate what we already have before expansion. Spend on Holmes and other sports.

We are going to do some renovations, which are needed. I don’t see the need for more capacity in these uncertain times unless the funding is guaranteed up front.

This. Waiting to see how the stadium restrooms get renovated. We need to prioritize finishing 105, so Indoor can eventually begin. Then, I'd like to see baseball get renovated.
