    Seriously speaking I wish they would put some type of faux cover over the West side roof of the sky boxs. (the last addition) the way it is now looks bad from an arial or high view.
    Yeah yeah another wanna be architect...........lol

    I can afford to sit on the 50 for big games but not club seating. I’m 6’3” and my knees don’t fit and concrete sucks. I’d love one of those endzone chairs on the 50. Take my money please.

    I don’t often fly by so I’m really not concerned with the aerial view.

    What's interesting about this story is that the lowest amount of money being bandied around for our was a quarter of a billion dollars. Most articles use the term a few hundred million as the amount, either way it's real serious money that they're talking about here. A few is at least 3... so 250 million dollars to around 3 hundred million dollars. You can make The Swamp great again with that kind of money.

    I'm all for this as long as it doesn't result in the stupid looking slanty font!

    The swamp only stopped being great when the product on the field did. Think about the Utah game in the old, decrepit, worn-out Swamp.

    If that rendering is the one they will build this quote: New seating will provide "the closest proximity to the playing field of any college football stadium in the country." is complete hogwash.

    That's not the only reason why... But yeah, bad coaching hires in the past made it worse than it should have ever been. But getting to the SECCG at least 3 times in the last 10 years is still not bad, it's just not what we (I and many other Gator fans) expect at Florida.

    It would have made a huge difference if we had competed respectably in those SECCGs

    Only in the most recent one. The previous two, we looked like a directional school bama had set up for homecoming :(

    Nobody gave us a chance in any of them, and they were right.

    Well halleluiah! I hope they replace those aluminium benches and rental blue folding chairs with permanent seats with drink holders.

    Those portable chairs just make my legs cramped even worse. My parent got them one year and decided not to get them again.
