Fixing the Odome roof

The budget better include flipping the camera.

 

I've been on top of the O'Dome . . . have you?

 

I'd go back to the inflatable roof if they'd FTFC!

 

Casual flex

 

I think one of the complications is that the O'Dome is university controlled and not UAA. This particular project is spearheaded by UF.

 

Yep, I've gone O'Connelling. I can't believe the roof was replaced 24 years ago...

24 years ago? That can't be right, it was when I was still there, and that was only a few years ago.

 

Sorry dude. You're old now

 

Does anybody remember the year they stopped using helium to inflate the dome?

Go GATORS!

Actually it used to be controlled by student government IIRC. At least that how it was originally paid for. Don't know if it still is.

 

About the same time they stopped using nitrous oxide/whippets?

 

Fake News!!

 

Did you cause the roof issues?

 

Is it just me that they are fixing a roof on a building that was majorly renovated (basically complete re-do) not too long ago?

Maybe it is called "the curse of the penny wise, pound foolish" directive of the past. Or in better terms...

Fix the damn ticket distribution system so that all games are fully attended! And while you are at it, FIX THE DAMN CAMERA ANGLES!!!!!!!

 

I went O'Connelling too. I was the last class to have graduated under the old air-suspended roof.

 

No, but I've flown over it.

No plane.

 

Yep. We need to work at putting more asses in the seats. The uppermost deck is never full for lesser games. Sell 'em for $2 a game. We'll make our profit from concessions. And maybe if a seat is going unused by a season ticket holder, make it so that a donation of the ticket to a charitable organization is tax deductible.

 

Well they built it in what 79 - 80?
As I recall they had problems with the "inflatable" right off the bat.

 

go on.....
