The stadium is fine. The team that plays in it has not been. Play better, environment will be better.

Eaglekeeper {l Wrote}:The stadium needs a complete overhaul to both be competive for top recruits, attract corporate dollars and to increase attendance. Silver bleachers look a lot more empty than maroon colored seats. Dark colors do not show up as well on TV. Enclosing the upper deck creates a lot of space under the stands. There are zero amenities under the deck on the press box side. You have to walk all the way through Conte and up 6 flights of stairs just to reach row 6 and back down again to use the bathroom. There could be escalators in the corners, concessions, bathrooms, club rooms, more luxury suites, etc. We all know why attendance is down (dbs and parking fees) and the lack of a great QB. Wade could be the guy that sells tickets.

It's not a question of if, but when BC realizes that they must put serious money into facilities to stay competitive. What is the point in donating money if BC will not invest those funds in facilities?

Your soapbox has worn down to a nub at this point.


He has a point on some issues. Alumni and Conte are really crappy facilities. Expanding them is dumb, but seats instead of bleachers, etc would make a big difference.

Unfortunately since BC is cheap, I can't imagine them making the investment


Serious question: does anyone know how many ACC stadiums have seats (instead of bleachers) throughout their football stadiums?

It's been 9 years since I visited the Carrier Dome, but at that time they had padded concrete bleachers similar to the upper level in Conte.

Since Pitt & Miami play in NFL stadiums, I assume they have seats throughout.

Correct, Pitt & Miami have Full seats.
Louisville has them as well.

FSU has benches but they have those back rests on some seats randomly all over the place, so assume Season ticket holders can pay a fee for one.

Recruits visit the stadium in the off season. Enclosing the upper deck is valuable in selling the recruits on the facilties. Chair seats will keep the attendance down to 50,000 but will grealty improve the appearance which helps with recruiting and attracting fans. You have to consider that not increasing the capacity slightly to 50,000 will force ticket prices and parking fees even higher. This is all about money and schools even within the ACC are going to want a bigger payday to play in a 44,500 seat stadium. ND, FSU, Clemson, maybe Cuse, Ohio St should all be sellouts with a decent BC team, especially if Wade turns into a star player.

Seconded.

Plus even if it weren't an incredibly stupid and unnecessary idea for the obvious economic reasons, enclosing the upper deck would also cut off the views of that beautiful fall foliage you can see from your seats throughout the stadium and which screams out "BC Football in New England."

how do 15,000 empty seats provide more revenue than 10,000 empty seats?

The new video boards is what will impress the recruits, not extra seats. It would be cool to show highlight films of BC games while the recruits are touring the stadium, followed up by some selective meatbombs or some great pics from the boathouse.

Maybe Master Bates can come up with some sort of Michael Jackson-like hologram to project images of fans sitting in imaginary seats in those filled-in corners when recruits come out to visit. That will keep eaglekeeper happy and keep his stupid posts to a minimum, impress recruits, and we won't have to battle Eva and her crew to get seats installed that we can't even fill.

this is an interesting idea but it raises a few questions:

  • will those holograms have to pay for tickets?

  • what will their amenities requirements be? will they need holographic concessions and rest rooms (because right now we have neither)?

  • will the holograms be shown in mustard t-shirts or will they be in maroon? if maroon - we should make the seats maroon as well. that way we'd need less holograms.

  • will there be holographic fireworks? that will likely upset the neighbors even more than just the addition of seats.

  • can the holograms be more tupac and less michael jackson? the church has enough problems without us glorifying a kid diddler

  • do the holograms have a history of attracting or angering bears?

  • can myles brand be one of the holograms? we can probably pop down to his office and get him to pose for us

  • does robot insurance cover any potential damage caused by the holograms or the hologram process?

  • will there be attractive holograms and can they be photographed for skanque poll purposes?

  • will the holograms eat all the free tacos or will there be some left for the real fans in the fall?

  • will there be holographic public transportaion or will they all park on a hologram of shea field? will they face required donation levels to earn a spot on shea field?

these are just the tip of the iceberg. i'm sure some of our deeper thinking posters will have additional ideas

This hologram thing is quite an ingenious concept. If it can work in the stands, then why not use it on the field as well? Like maybe create some extra defenders so when the opposing QB looks downfield, he sees the hologram covering his receiver in addition to the actual DB that is 10 yards behind him. When the QB complains to the ref for too many men on the field, just turn off the hologram and they can't prove anything.

Better get the engineering school on it right away.

Why follow BC football if you have zero hope that the program will ever improve? Addazio has stated that the facilities including the stadium are a huge negative in recruiting. There is no reason why BC cannot sell 50,000 seats. Henning's teams sold out every home game and TOB's teams were over 40k with high parking fees until DBS killed it. Even with a horrible team for 5 years, crazy parking fees and DBS we still get 38k to ACC games. What has BC done to promote ticket sales? Did we miss Addazio's speaking tour, sorry what tour. It's on Bates to sell out the USC, Clemson and SU games this year. There really is no excuse for not being able to sell ACC football tickets at a university with a strong core base in a city that is passionate about sports.

In the previous page, you claimed that 8-4 or 9-3 is the best BC can ever do regardless. Now you are chastising people for not wanting the program to improve.

So which is it?

This is too stupid for a Reif nomination.
