Rose Bowl Stadium is awesome.

Hard to believe they've put over 100,000 people in there before. Doesn't look that big but I guess it is.

If we ever remodel DWS I'd love to see us get rid of the upper deck on the East side and bowl in the South end zone. It's amazing how much louder it got in there when we closed in the north end, I'd love to hear it if we closed it in all the way around.

I’d rank a showing in the Rose Bowl Game higher than the Omaha CWS everyday of the week....twice on Sunday.

Why would we need to rip down a deck to bowl in the end Zone?
huh

Basically because I don't think we'd fill a 75,000 seat stadium, but I could be wrong.

It would give us several thousand additional good seats, (possibly even chairbacks?), down close to the field instead of way up top. Personally I'd rather sit low in the end zone instead of that upper deck, but that's just a personal preference.

You wouldn't have to. Do all chairbacks at least in the lower level and it'd be about the same with an endzone expansion. Of course, the per seat charge would have to go up considerably.

Hmm, dang the stadium. I just wished we could field a team like either one these two.

It's coming.

The problem with the Rosebowl is little elevation. I have been to the Rosebowl about ten times and have had some bad seats. If you have end zone seats at elevation you could be 50 plus yards from the end zone end line. Add lack of elevation and you are watching the game at distance at a poor angle. If you sit inside the 20s, the view is good. Before seats replaced bleachers, the Rosebowl seated 103,000 but many seats were very poor. Now the Rosebowl seats about 86,000. The Coliseum in Los Angeles used to seat 106,000 with terrible viewing. The Coliseum was reconfigured to about 94,000 to get rid of appalling seating. Davis Wade is a good stadium with great potential. If the stadium floor was lowered more great seats would happen because the field seats would be upscale for viewing. MSU asked what it would cost to lower the floor of Davis Wade and I think Cohen told me about $30 Million I think.

I guess what doesn't show up on TV is the low pitch of the seating areas. Just doesn't seem big enough to hold 100,000 folks. I was wondering about the viewing quality since there are no upper decks so thanks for the info.

I guess the opposite is Neyland which seems to go straight up. The pitch in the upper deck there is so steep it feels like you're about to fall over.
