Kidd Brewer Is All Grown Up!

Post by Appaholic »

Brave sent me these photo from this past weekend. Stadium is looking pretty dam nice! I can almost see the dejected Griz players walking off the field head's hanging in defeat circa 2012....

I concur :nod:
Appa - any idea what that area is on the left of the home stands? I haven't heard anything definitive yet. Looks like maybe we're having to bring a lot of the stadium up to code with the diabilities act.

I believe that may be the ramp they'll wheel my drunk a$$ up after I storm the field during pregame....

It's the new team entrance. It goes straight back to the small door you can see, which I believe is a weight room.

I do wish we could do something about those handicap ramps on the STATE side. They're an eyesore. Maybe an elevator?

Well...umm...nice track...where is the endzone seating? Do you use bino's to see the game with that big red thing in the way? And what is with the zig-zaggy thing? I would have thought an elevator would have been cheaper, you do know what an elevator is, right?

As bad as our gameday experience is and tailgating, you'd think our numbers would be falling and we wouldn't need to put a new deck on or add 4400 seats....weird.

What you should do is close in them endzones. That would help with the noise and the gameday experience a lot. Oh, and getting rid of the sheep fucking exibit/contest you have in the tailgates might also help. IT did wonders for MSU's game day experience. :thumb:

Don't disagree on closing at least one end zone - track deletion will cause some crazy sightlines because of how low to the field those seats would be.

So you recommend goats instead of sheep like Montana tailgates? We're open for experimentation. :lol:

Just wait until Edwards is gone and you stop winning the SoCon every year, that place will have more empty seats than a church on Monday. :thumb: :D

After Montana got done with goats, they didn't work out (the fans ended up killing them and grilling them on the many many BBQ's), we settled on wolves. Sort of a cage match if you will. One wolf and one Griz fan. No weapons, just hand to paw combat. Record since it started 86-0-1. The only tie was when it was called off because the game was about to start, MONTE finished it off at halftime.

We've done a pretty good job of reloading - we'll be competitive for a while yet and the crowds will still come.

You're making fun of our stadium? Where did the engineer who designed WaGriz intern at? Red's during Happy Hour? Or the Majestic Plaza Laundromat & Pawn? It looks like your fokking engineers got drunk and decided to play twister on top of the blueprints....

Mark it down...Black Saturday 2009 is going to be epic and there's going to be a record crowd to watch GSU beat App. State. It'll be the second time in a row ASU gets a big FBS upset at the beggining of the season then loses to GSU in Boone. Can't wait. 8-) :thumb:

Kidd Brewer is lookin good! Damn near a 7 story tower on the home side. However, if they closed the endzones off, it would be the ..::best::.. in the nation..(even with the track). Untill then.... Montana has that title. When your on the field, you cant see out of the stadium and the stands seem to go on for rows and rows.... very intimidating!

good to see you BF. I have to somewhat agree about WA/Griz. It is looking a little like a lego set stadium and I would really like to see the "master plan" the admin has. Despite that, the look gives it character and does not look like most other stadiums in the FCS.
