How exciting! This is great news and makes me very proud! Shout out to all who worked to make this happen. I hope we can keep this AD, but his stock is soaring right now.

It's great that they addressed adding shade to baseball, soccer and softball but I don't see anything new about shade at the football stadium. Heat is a big problem in the stadium and, at times, even in the late games. The heat on the east side of the field is particularly brutal since they don't get any relief from the sun until it pretty much sets.

The crowd looked really small well into the first half of the Idaho game but , when I went up to the concession area, I saw that lots of people were crowded around in the shaded areas and that was a 4 pm start in November! I'm not sure what they can do in the stadium to create more shade but it's a real problem because the lots of people simply won't come to a game if they're going to have to sit in the sun and get fried.

The only real design in the package is for softball, which they already had. The “plan” was put together by a planning firm not a design or development group. Wouldn’t put much stock in any of those renderings. You’d think with this many administrators on staff they would be better at rollouts by now but I guess some things never change.

As said earlier, the second story on the west side should give more shade on the east side at an earlier time when the sun starts setting.

I thought about that. I wonder how much earlier that area will actually be shaded. The west side seats are hot until the shade comes. Can't imagine how it feels for the students, the band and the visitors on the west side when its hot and the sun is in their eyes.
