I get that for sure.  I guess what I meant was if we lose a practice field or two to make room for a stadium, can the field in the stadium be used in place of the practice field, or is the grass too fragile (cause it has to look good for game day)?

Yeah, I was just messing with you. But I'm sure it could be used as a venue for some other $$ makers. The team would have to practice in the stadium so they could get tuned in to the turf, visibility, kicking, day vs under lights, etc. Guess if they keep 1 outdoor field and have the indoor field plus the stadium, they will have several practice areas available. Probably won't let the lineman tear it up too much though so it looks like a cow pasture...of course, we are Bull's!!

Nobody is going to have to walk further than Fowler fields for parking/tailgating.

Find that hard to believe.  I can see people walking from Bruce B Downs side of campus to get to the the game if we ever draw 40k again.

That’s f’n sad. It’s college football you walk to stadium to go to the game. A ridiculous excuse…

If we still have classes in the movie theatre I consider that on campus

Ranks right up there with, take your pick, hot-cold-time-day... Whiners will always find an excuse to whine about.

Looks like Miami has finally figured out that their home games in a rented NFL stadium sucks.  They just hired away Radakovich from Clemson as their AD who’s known as a monster fund raiser  for athletics.  It also helps to have a billionaire booster willing to throw in a lot of chedda.

Well people are pretty lazy and it is hard to motivate a team to come watch a team with 1 fbs win in 2 seasons even if the stadium is on campus. The easiest way to get fans, alumni and students in the seats is win and put a better product on the field. An OCS would be beneficial in the long run but if we are winning 1 -3 games a year , it won't matter.

Correct, some people are pretty lazy and won’t get off their tired fat asses to support a team that is working hard. I have no sympathy for those kinds of “fans”…
