Great picture, but take it in the stands. Sorry, but not a Division 1 football look. JMO.Quote:

Their stadium layout is very similar to Cajun Field with the lower bowl being (mostly) below the surrounding grade and having 1 end zone being a grass hill.
That will never happen.Quote:

Clemson and Wake Forest are 2 other "D1" schools with hills among others

If the same picture were taken in the stands, it would look equally empty and abandoned. Probably a worse look.Quote:

The Clemson football team and coaches literally run down a grass hill through their fans to get on their field. Leave the hill alone. Just make the horse shoe symmetrical.
Whatever makes Louisiana football games more attractive to families, I wholeheartedly support.
Now, it the admin can look away while 8 year olds come barreling down a hill towards an iron fence, they certainly should be looking away while the Greeks do their thing.
Now we're talking!Quote:

The hillside is worth saving and is a valuable asset if treated as such.
