I think it would be cool to somehow keep the grass and build the decks (which would need to be set-back a bit for sun). Shaded areas in August/September might help attendance, although we seem to remedy the issue with late kickoffs.
........Also found a fantasic Aggie Stadium upgrade rendering that puts Rocko's to shame .....this is by "ES2X" in 2016 who is not a member on AST (under the same username, anyway). He laid out possible locations for "Voodoo Cornfields." It was fabulous. :D
I went back and looked at some old stuff......Randomly found in a Golden Horseshoe thread where I predicted Josh Kelley would end up in the Pac-12 back in 2016 (back when he was required to sit out due to transfer rules).
Although our CA logo literally translates as "Cal Aggies"......we go by UC Davis, not Cal Davis. I feel the script "Davis" on the helmets is the clearest representation.
Confusing enough? hah!
It can and has been done. Those student sections were loud too!
In work, management matters. In sports, coaching staff matters. In event promo, staff matters.
Its all about who's on staff and 'holding the mic.' Its about level of effort. Those Aggie Pack guys had heart/determination and pride.
Make no bones about it…..student support sucks and I hate it. But I also get it.
The city of Davis population is 60k + right? That alone should be enough to fill the place with 15k.
Football culture in CA is the issue. He needs to be careful to not attack the wrong folks, but I understand because I share the same frustrations (for the past 20 years)
This one is on the students. BUT he knows what it’s like at UC..he lived it.
His classmates cared a lot about finals. And they start Monday. Like LeFan said, this is the way it is in the UC system. Cal and UCLA deal with the same student attendance issues.
