New Stadium

Re: New Stadium

That's why they ask the questions . . . because that's basically where football stadium design is nowadays, and they're asking what SDSU fans want.

Yes I get it. Its about going for the gold and finding the gold thats out there. I guess I resent those who enjoy the leisure of indoors while watching the rest of the crowd freezing their butts off. I will never forget Nov 20, 2010, the UND game, when it took me atleast 12 hours and one whole Domino's pizza to recover from the cold. But thats what my fellow Norweigian economist Thorstein Veblen was speaking of when he described "conspicous consumption by the wealthy". Although they probably did not exist in his day but a suite in a outdoor football staduim would fit the bill.
I guess I should not knock them, as someone my be kind enough to invite me in on a cold afternoon.

Re: New Stadium

I was chuckling to myself as I responded to the questions about the boxes etc. and the various dollar amounts. The way the questions were written...some relative of Dr. Suess working for the poling company? Reminded me a little of Green Eggs & Ham.

Re: New Stadium

Yes I did. Not to crazy about the questions about comfort and indoor watching of games.

Re: New Stadium

Hopefully we can make it happen!

What does give me hope this time around is the enthusiasm that seems to leak out from AD Sells and Chicoine. They seem to have some big donors that may very well step up. Something like a new staduim would be a big asset it for the community. Also younger people like your self will help make this happen. Its a completely different time and attitude than what we saw in the late 1950's and early 1960's. Those leading the fundraising charge had to deal with more negatives than what there appears today.

I was around for Staduim for State that yielded CAS ONE HALF of the permanment seating that we are using today.

Re: New Stadium

Thanks for the responses! I had seen them before, but my friends were impressed. Hopefully we can make it happen!

Re: New Stadium

There is no doubt that a cool venue like that would draw more fans. I'm a firm believer that when people experience the game day experience we have now, even, they're generally hooked. My favorite part of the new plan: Fans are close, just like they are in CAS.

Re: New Stadium

That looks amazing. I hope we can make it a reality. I watched the UNI/Montana game the other day and definitely was impressed by the MT stadium. It would be awesome to have something even close to that in Brookings. If we average 10,000+ with a "clunker" of a stadium, imagine what we will draw with something like this.

Neat-o, that looks like a Jerry Jones sized screen on the HPC

Re: New Stadium

Anyone know where I can find pictures of the new proposed stadium plan? I understand that there is nothing official, but there were pictures circulating with what it will potentially look like. I've looked through old threads and I haven't been able to find anything. I'm trying to show my fellow alumni some pictures.

Thanks!

sorry '08. couldn't resist. Lack of visualization seems to be a problem for this renovation effort.
