Re: Rumor

I'm with ya Newsy. I have never quite understood some people's importance placed on seat colors. I can think of a few other, more important ways to spend the cash, however much it is....

Re: Rumor

How about they actually get the name that they put on the video board done in a way that you can read the vitals instead of trying so hard to make it look cool. The video board isn't great, but the way it is used is pretty bad.

Can't wait for the season to start though! Just hope Rennie spent the summer throwing 200 balls a day.

They got rid of the black pants last year.

And look how well we did. Bring 'em back.

Re: Rumor

You probably also thought that building the Mcleod, getting new turf, building the football locker rooms, getting the new bball court, and building a new weight room were a waste of money too.

You really think the color of the seats in the UNI-Dome are equivalent to those improvements?

Re: Rumor

No. And I alluded to that in my post. You know, the part you cut out?

Whether it is a large scale project, or a small scale project, they are all important.

Whatever painting the seats in the UNIDome costs, it's too much money. For a department that scrapes by financially, that money could be put to much better use. Giant scoreboards and video screens are a waste, too, but at least fans get something out of those and they seem like a smart investment by comparison to changing the color of the seats.

If it was free, it would be the best thing in the history of the universe.

Re: Rumor

If it gets done, it will be because it is free, i.e. a donor pays for it, it won't get done if it has to come out of A.D. budget.

What if it cost $100?

Re: Rumor

scoreboards: I don't see anything wrong with our current scoreboards, as long as they still function. Sure, it'd be nice to have stats and whatnot. but they aren't a necessity. and stats could be shown at times on the videoboard.


seats: sure, repainting/replacing the seats would be an improvement. but in the big scheme of things, I don't see it as that important. If there are actually fans in the seats, then the color of the seatbacks becomes rather irrelevant. Sure, there might be some red peeking out at the ends. but who the F cares?

as far as either being an influence on recruiting.....
are there really kids that decide where they want to go based on scoreboard aesthetics and stadium seat color? If so, that's pretty damn pathetic.


though there is one seating issue that bugs me:
I wish they would get rid of the dang "PQ, QR, etc. system and go back to the old way of single letter sections centered on the aisles (which are clearly labeled with their single letters anyway).

Re: Rumor

I don't mind the seating system, the "aisle" system that we use is similar to that used at Wrigley, the only difference is at Wrigley there are no section numbers, just aisles, the only benefit to this style of seating is that when you look for your aisle you never go in the wrong door. How many times has someone had seat one, walked in the wrong door, found out they were on the side of the section that has seat 24, then had to walk all the way back up, and then around to the other side of the section, such an issue does not happen at the UNI Dome, or Wrigley field for that matter. Just sayin...
