Already been there and left with skillet

The common areas look like a Cheesecake Factory.

An ugly, built out version of Ford in the middle of nowhere.

Ford is more attractive but TCU's stadium is a smarter version of Ford with about twice as many good sideline seats. Recruiting advantage-has BCS feel while Ford has a non-BCS feel

Awww, how cute. Stallion's TCU crush rises to the surface again.

I've said this before, but unfortunately Ford was designed at the end of the last stadium design era. Shortly after Ford opened, you started to see the thinking behind stadiums change which makes Ford seem older than it is. If it was built today, it would be much more polished and grand.

I think we're going to have to wait at least another decade before we see any major changes to the stadium (unless we get entry to a major conference). I would say rebuilding the home side with more sideline seats, better suites and a better bigger club complex and adding an end zone premium complex like you see at TCU, should be the major priorities. Even with our attendance woes, I understand the premium areas have always sold well, so we should add more to boost revenue.

Champions Club looks cool. Look forward to kicking their [deleted] in it next year.

They did a great job! If anything, we have a lot to consider in the way of architecture & adding space during the next phase of construction at Ford - whenever that comes.

Be careful, you'll get jumped on about how criticizing Ford is crazy, and it is one of the best stadiums in all of college football!

TCU plays there.
Therefore, it's a dump.

LOL!
