As I asked before and you have ignored, what would happen to all of the practice space that is laid out so close to our athletic venues? If you start filling in that space then our team would have to practice elsewhere. And that does not benifit them at all because that means they are farther away from training and medical facilities they may need. I personally like the way campus is laid out. Academic at the heart, residence halls on the perimeter, and parking beyond that. Having classes close to facilities will create parking problems. Just look at the lot by Anderson Arena on nights when there are home basketball games.
"By the stadium" certainly does not have to equate to "on the football practice fields." We could easily move the intramural fields. There is room out by the Field house.
I would like to see them widen and beuatify the campus and I think that making the stadium part of the campus landscape is a good idea.

Why is it ridiculous? Why is it not worth a discussion at all? With enrollment up the campus is growing. From what I have heard they have even bought some of campbell hill for student housing.

Transcript, CNN's Late Edition, Marcy 9, 1999:
BLITZER: I want to get to some of the substance of domestic and international issues in a minute, but let's just wrap up a little bit of the politics right now.
Why should Democrats, looking at the Democratic nomination process, support you instead of Bill Bradley, a friend of yours, a former colleague in the Senate? What do you have to bring to this that he doesn't necessarily bring to this process?
GORE: Well, I will be offering -- I'll be offering my vision when my campaign begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping. And I hope that it will be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be.
But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.
But an honest look at his work in Congress will show that Gore -- more than any other member of Congress -- led the effort help create what we now know as the Internet.

And his wife led the effort to put warning labels on the best boobies the Internet has to offer!

Hmmm, "took the initiative in creating" doesn't equal invented? Guess Edison didn't "take the initiative in creating" the lightbulb then either.
I am not arguing that Gore didn't support/vote for any good ideas. But being a member of Congress that voted in favor of funding a project is not the same as being the person who received the funding and actually built something. I think he was trying to take way too much credit and it blew up in his face.

I wouldn' say that edison took the initiative in creating. He invented the current product that several people were working on. He just made a better product then they did. And who knows, maybe some even told him to do it, without his own personal thoughts about it
Though the way gore said it also implies that he was responsible for its creation, even though 200+ people voted for the voting too.
