We're supposed to be able to play our second game of the year against Wofford in early September. Three more home games in a row after that--Alabama, Georgia and Memphis State before open date. Opener is against FSU in Orlando.

Can't wait to see the stadium "bowled in". I hate the look of the high school bleachers in the north end zone. I think it will help raise noise level. The seating capacity didn't comebup like I thought It would though.

Will have a bigger scoreboard also. Current one is 74.5×42. New one will be 104 ft. wide and 94 ft. tall. Will have 2 30×50 boards at each end of South endzone.

Our stadium looks like crap . It's pieced together like a Lego because they refuse to tear down a building that is outdated and in the wrong place . And they are half asz doing the expansion . It was originally supposed to look great .

I like Vaught-Hemingway and will like it more with these changes. I have visited a handful and it is one of the nicer ones that I have visited. It isn't as nice as a pro stadium, but I've yet to see a college stadium that is.

Will the bowling in of the North End Zone allow folks to walk from there to the east or west stands or will it be blocked?
