I've heard that before. On the MAC board, a former Kent State player said it was the worst lockerroom in the MAC.

They could sell off old parts of the bleachers to local charity or sell them on eBay too..

Odie!!! Did you read this entire thread. Apparently the bleachers were purchased / donated to a High School, the place where kids who are not home-schooled are educated. Cannot sell bleachers on EBay or even sell them if they are already taken.

hmm that doesn't bother me one bit.

Its not like we are trying to lure oppossing team's players to come to us when they become free agents ala Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks making the vistor locker room nearly palacial in their arena. . .

I say let 'em suffer. And paint the walls pink while we're at it!

I heard something today about that high school that purchased the bleachers. Something about the fact that they're not sure if their insurance will cover the use of them since it won't be an original structure. Kind of odd. Not sure how true this is, but it seemed odd to me.

Grant can take 22 off mine and give to you if you want 1000 that bad. TG is going to have me beat in a few months anyways. He already tied Freak in the posting total...

Of course, as was discussed many moons ago, if you only count the "non-babbling" posts, I think I'm pushing 12. :wink:

Will someone please clue me in. I know a new athletic facility (building) is going in at the North end of the stadium. I don't have the foggiest notion, however, of what they're going to do about end-zone seats. Are they creating new seats as part of the new facility, or are they simply getting rid of the seating at that end of the stadium. That would certainly reducing the seating capacity of the facility. ---- I guess I should know this, but I don't.

There will be no endzone seating (north or south) for the 2005 season. The North bleachers are in the process (as of June 27) in being removed.

SEBO will include some seating. Look at the pictures on the athletics web site.
