One of my coworkers is a Wisconsin grad. He still claims that they got hosed in that game. I hate the Big 10.

I really hope that they don't close in the horseshoe. Add a third layer, but please do not fill in the grassy knoll!

That knoll is more fun than the Moody parking lot.

Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2012 2:42 pmthe horsehoe will be filled at some point. I have heard absolutely no talk of that at this point. I think that project is roughly number 30 on the list for down the road after many others....Now if we get over 15k season ticket holders....that could accelerate.

Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2012 2:43 pmSorry to further derail the thread, and I think this has been discussed before, but how can they add another level of seating to Ford on the east end with the new housing going up right there? I dont think it's possible
Re: U of Wisconsin board
Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2012 2:45 pmit was designed to add a deck when needed - above the existing level. would not extend beyond the existing eastern wall of the stadium. plus the dorms are well back from the stadium anyway.

Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2012 2:47 pmAt one point somebody said the original plans wouldn't work anymore with the sophomore dorms because of fire code violations - but if we are off a few feet I'm sure we can get a waiver or move Ford over a few feet.
Re: U of Wisconsin board
Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2012 2:50 pmi don't think that is correct - they will work fine. There is no effect from the sophomore housing since we would go straight up.
