    Fun jumps seem like a good way to get a lawsuit

    If someone sues UL over a fun jump...they need to be brought out back...

    Yup, I see bleachers in the future, especially when some child gets injured there. The reasoning will be in place.

    Wish the adverts at the Tigue were all done in red and white colors, like those in SEZ.

    Agreed. And I think that a new fence is part of the next phase of renovations to the tigue....I would bet that it it will look like what we are seeing at CF when it is done.

You have to admit, the kids have zero interest in the football game. So if you have even the slightest chance of making these kids future fans I would think you would want them at the stadium instead of being at home with Mom or Dad. If mom or dad stay home with the kids, it reduces the number of people at the stadium. The fewer people at the stadium the fewer tickets sold and all the things that go with that. So it's probably best to have them in the stadium with a paid ticket in a fun jump instead of home or out in the tailgate.

    We, along with many other schools have an issue with not having students go to the games. They have other things to do either on their computers or going out drinking on Saturday night. I guess that is why they are putting the beer garden on the student side. So I would think we would have to get creative to get the younger generations into the stadium. If not, we will be destined to about 10,000 to 12,000 season tickets forever and remain small time. My opinion, we will remain small time, Kids today have no interest in sports and I don't think that will change any time soon.

    Living next to the campus as I do, I see it all the time. Come Friday afternoon, the kids are going home or going to work to pay for their tuition, books and living expenses. Many are married and have big responsibilities there. The Campus is pretty empty on weekends. Parking around campus is tight during the week as there are many commuters making the trip in for the day to go to class. These students really have no interest in coming into town for a football game on the weekend.
    Good point about lack of interest from our students. You also believe that will not change. I will go one further. Support will drop at some of the better known schools in future years due to that lack of interest. It is a changing time period in regards to sports.

    Mike it has already started. I looked at numbers reported to the NCAA when we were discussing a new stadium and even the P5 schools are losing attendance.

    In a day and age where parents pay "tutors" for their kids to get better at video games or spend untold hours watching others play video games you can bet it isn't going to help getting people to spend half their day watching a live sport outdoors.
