Pimpson!

Big penalty on 3rd down there.

Disappointing play out of a timeout on 3rd and short though Would have been a punt

This is a pretty good production team so far.

Charlie Allen with the great stick on the opening kickoff. Love to see it.

How was that a "forward" pass? Looked like a bad call to me.

Bison go up 15-10 with 2:22 left.

NDSU @ UND seems to be the best game today.

UND up 7-6 at half.

Montanas looking like they'll win blowouts early on.

Looks like they filled in their remaining endzone grass berm with a money maker as well....Definitely see the resemblance to Davis before the renovation.

Very cool!

Interesting: Capacity is 35k, 12k less than their old stadium.
Old Ryan Field was U.G.L.Y.

The berms are unbeatable as far as beauty and fun.

More on Vandy....It kinda feels like this is the future of stadium reno's in the near term.....

How in the world were there 5,000 fans vs. 800 a few nights before the men?
Schedule says "Field Trip Day" 4,500 free tickets!?

I'd like to see pics!

cc me pls so I can follow up :lol:

That's pretty cool! Might generate more revenue this way, as opposed to having a 1/2 full grass berm with GA tix sales.

Something like this I'm sure would be astronomically expensive. So who knows what the school comes up with in the future.....


With all that said......I'd rather keep the grass as we'd probably end up with some sh*t endzone situation like Sac has going on due to the cost.

I think it would be cool to enclose an endzone (or both) with some sort of suite situation with balconies and glass fronts. Keeps the sound in (considering Davis crowd starts making noise at some point).

Early concept design...(above ground)



30k-ish build out design


Although I think this one is closer to 25k version of what we have now



Bowl is so much better IMO. Glad we settled on that.

I believe it was originally designed with more steel raised structure, but was redesigned to a bowl due to high steel costs at the time.

It was designed to be "easily" expanded to 30k. I'm not sure what the original capacity was designed to be, or if it was value engineered down at all. *Edit* It appears the bowl was supposed to be 16k seats originally....see my pic in further post*

FBS football feels pretty far off at moment. Davis takes a long time to do stuff. Aggie Stadium (and D1) was about 15 years overdue.
But yes...20k-25k capacity seems to be required for MWC football success.

Where did he end up? Or no longer playing? I did a quick search and couldn't find him. 1 year left?

lol poor Dallas, who "hates sports right now." His daughter's hockey team has lost 4 games recently, his son's football team lost in the semis....all on top of the SDSU loss to Indiana State. Tough times.
