For me, Shade is a must for any stadium in Florida.

Thanks Jim. Can we start a serious Needs/Wants/Wishes thread that can be extended to admin/Populous?  

(serious meaning any comment not providing ideas / constructive feedback should be deleted. Make it templated like the game day predictions threads)

Seat backs. At least in non-student areas.  I don't need arm rests or cup holders or padded seats -- but past the age of 50, I need to be able to sit and have back support at least part of the time (TV timeouts, halftime, 4th quarter blowouts, etc). The portable seats that some older stadiums offer are terrible. Make them like the old Tampa Stadium.

I feel you. I just realized that the year the stadium opens is the year I turn 50. Seat backs please .

So we'll finally learn that the IBG isn't under those fields. No excuses now like basketball.

I’d pay an extra $4 million for them to tunnel over to the Yuengling Center and check that out too.

So we can schedule  a conference championship by your 75th birthday.

It should be shaded except for the   away band and fans away section.

So we are paying $22 million just for the plans?

Hopefully this helps boost interest in the team locally and the players desire to win .

Please, no lazy river suggestions

Nah, we need a "Bay" in front of the stadium. Then we can really sell the whole "Come to the Bay" and "Stay in the Bay" and "Defend the Bay" and "Bay Made" and ... etc. etc. etc.

You know, I used to think people were overselling the idea of seatbacks. Now, in my late 30s, and having sat in bleachers through many of my kids' sports games ... we need some kind of seatbacks. My back can barely make through an hour long practice in the bleachers, let alone a 3 hour game

I was talking about this with a buddy a couple weeks back and his hypothesis was that Brown is our QB1 and Gerry is back for another year to be a backup and work on his coaching chops. Definitely makes sense. 

I'm glad I am not having to make this decision, but I would roll with Brown. That being said, I was a GB homer.
