this still makes me laugh

I always read the title that way without realizing. Didn't even notice the change. Amazing how ingrained some of the in-house cliches and catch phrases become.

kinda like how i don't ever get the reaction i expect when i explain "we are close, but far away"

Wasn't sure where else to put this one, but it looks like UNC is actually removing 12,000 seats from its football stadium

By "revamping" Kenan, UNC will be reducing its seating capacity from 63,000 to 51,000, with the project costing between $6 million to $6.5 million ahead of this coming season, according to the News & Observer. It's a project meant to fill the stadium on a more regular basis while NC State finished 29th in the country last year with an average of 56,850 fans per home game.

Before I read this, and not be all we-are-what-we-are, but I was actually thinking BC may want to consider having luxury type seating in the lower level between the 40s, like they have in Dolphins stadium. That would have the effect of reducing capacity as well.

I wish they’d just put actual seats in the Lower Level. 4 hours on aluminum bleachers isn’t great on the back

This. 45,000 is probably about right for Alumni, but I'd be okay with dropping to 40,000 if it mean actual seats in the lower bowl, or at least in the DBS sections.

They should also consider filling in the corners of the stadium. Not necessarily with seating, but just something to create more of a bowl and keep the sound in.

filling in the corners

You can't beat the view of parts of campus you get from the open corners.

The luxury customer is what BC needs and they want club seats and luxury boxes. The upper deck over the Beacon St garage is half empty most games. Scrap that entire deck and start over. Build a new upper deck that is all club seats. Build new luxury boxes that are at the same height as the end zone boxes. Add all chair back seating on the lower level where the current walkway and luxury boxes are located.

After 15 years of offering discounts and giveaways you would think MJ would have a new approach.

This is what I needed on a Monday. Excellent.

What other improvements do you have in mind?

I'm sitting on an awesome idea to spray paint the field turf maroon -- kinda like our own Boise Blue Turf. Just waiting for the BRA and Newton neighborhood association to approve.
