Agree on wider concourses and improved cell service

Turn north endzone into suites and indoor/outdoor club area with booze (maybe something like the New Belgium Porch at new CSU stadium)

Agree on LED ribbons and bigger jumbotron to dial up the kick @ss

Shameless recruitment of hot coeds for dance squad, a la TCU

If money were no object, figure out a way to add an east deck without adding to the overall seating capacity - make the place feel bigger than it is

Win more games. Dominate whatever conference SMU is in. Beat most of the P5 teams scheduled and especially if they happen to be from the old SWC.

OOPS. Been said before.

Seat fillers. Like at the awards ceremonies. CGI if necessary.

Shrink it down to hold 7000. Then you can have a blank blank

Convert the end zone to a restaurant similar to how the Astros and other MLB teams have restaurants in center field. Would at least help bring in many of the tailgaters to the stadium.

Lincoln and Ford. Historically a bad combo.

I would yank out the artificial turf and instill grass, and do whatever it takes to keep it green and plentiful. Some others are also considering: https://www.hookem.com/story/going-back ... l-stadium/

Pure gold...

Mark, you are roughly 10 years older than me...and your mind is amazingly sharp.

Nicely done, sir!

That's a change I'd be in favor of making.
