Getting vacations ready for the bowl game
I actually was in Arkansas this past weekend visiting a lady-friend of mine. Got to go to Jonesboro a few times (she lives nearby) and see some of the campus. From what I saw, I liked it. The football stadium was nice too. I like the pressbox/athletic building thingamajiggy in one of the endzones. The home side looks really nice, and I thought their pressbox/luxury suite area, while a bit smaller than ours, looks really new/nice/professional. Liked the seating in the other endzone, kinda gave me an idea of what some of our seating upgrades will look like.
I was NOT super impressed with the visitor's side seating. The metal bleachers just seem to have a cheaper feel/look than concrete. Also, the backside, being just the metal support structure/skeleton/frame, looked kinda cheap too. Oddly enough, one of the corner gates was open when we got there roughly mid-day on Friday, and we were able to walk down onto the field. No supervision, didn't get warned or anything. Only people around were the occassional athletes coming out of that building thingy in the endzone area. The field itself is really sharp lookin. Like it alot.
I was also very impressed with the amount of support I seemed to see around Jonesboro for ASU. Lots of stuff painted in storefront windows. Lots of decals, license plates, etc... around town. Relatively little UA stuff (in comparison with the amount of LSU stuff you see around the Laffy area).
p.s.- John Daly (famous pro golfer with bleached hair and crazy pants) was on my flight from Little Rock to Houston.
2 of us are leaving in the AM headed up there.
For those coming up, let me know if y'all would like to meet somewhere before the game.
