Leave the damn kids alone. The hill is great. One of my favorite pictures of my son and I was taken on that hill.

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

I respectfully disagree

The first example that comes to mind is the school that Dr. Maggard came from

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.

A few more years your grandson will be wanting to play on that hill.

That will never happen.

But that overflow crowd sitting on the hill. Not kids sliding down cardboard in an empty stadium.

That's an event management issue- not a construction issue

The original purpose of this thread is Cajun Field "construction" . I'm pretty sure this whole hill discussion is for naught anyway as designs have more than likely been finalized by now

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.

Some think its their lawn and they want those kids off!! Good grief, some of you are fun suckers.

Almost a one of a kind look.

Exceptions aside "Better" than average run of the mill D1 generic.
