Mizzou not done expanding stadium

[Shamoan]

If you recall, Mizzou completed their last expansion the year we completed ours, and have already approved a further 98 million dollar endzone expansion:

we need to ditch those crappy ez loge seating pontoons, give our team an sec caliber gameday locker room and tack on a few k charibacks like mizzou has done. keep in mind, they are doing this with plummeting enrollment numbers.

we can do better than this:

WTH is up with that Bulldog on the ceiling? Please tell me this is not current? Was it hand-painted by a elementary art class?

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Going with the Vaught-Hemmingway school of thought here.

It looks better than our south endzone crap, but for a permanent structure, it's hideous.

 

[engie]

It's a contraction, not an expansion. They stand to lose 5-6k seats here, while adding premium seating to what is currently just a bleacher. This is a reno of their current endzone, it's not an expansion on the rock M side.

Seems like a gigantic waste of money to me.

I still think adding premium seating but not expanding, or even contracting, capacity is going to be pretty common for the non-blue bloods in the next decade or so.

 

[Shamoan]

either way, our locker room is a joke by sec standards.

 

[Xenomorph]

How very un-SECish.

 

[patdog]

It'll be common even for the blue bloods. Attendance has peaked and the long term trend is down for everybody.

 

[BigMotherTucker]

That's disgraceful.

Bu, bu, bu, but... We have the best practice locker rooms in the bidness. That's great, but the gameday stuff is pittyful.

 

[Palos verdes]

If they paid 98 million for that endzone expansion, they got dirty pooled.

I think the timeframe to start looking at our next endzone expansion hinges on the crowds this season and next.

 

[o_dawgnabit]

Nope. That is current. I was in the locker room two years ago and saw that. Looks like a sorority painting

 

[Shamoan]

true, but if done sooner, we could save several million. what might cost 98 million now can easily cost 105 million + in a couple of years. construction costs seem to be outpacing inflation over the last 15 years.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Ed Hardy could have done a better job

 

[EthelTheBulldog]

I was told when stadium expanded last time, they added new locker rooms. They are being used by the visiting. I believe the new ones are first class.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

We are Mstate.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Is it possible that someone's child did that or someone important who dabbled in painting? Possibly a Seal grandchild. Inquiring minds need to know before I **** on it.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

We can close in the South EZ without adding seats at all. Just replace seats in the West Side that would be eliminated by cutting aisle walk ups through the middle of B, C, D. E and F to make rows shorter so that the old codgers like me don't have to crawl out over 24 people in either direction to go empty an over active bladder. We boomers are getting older and have to go more often.**

Put Condo/Lofts/Hotel/Convention Center in South Endzone, blow up Dorman and put a big arse parking garage in its place....

You need to sit back and watch what a cluster17 this will be for Mizzou. Their enrollment has plummeted and last year when we played them the stadium was only about 70% full. This will be a case study in NOT what to do if you are an athletic department. The school surrendering to the SJW and being highjacked by left wing nutjobs will take 20 years to overcome. It will be tarped from end to the other.

Speaking of tarp, how much of the Vaught will be tarped in upcoming seasons? I figure the first few games will sell out as a sign of support for Luke, then who know.

 

[Shamoan]

To be fair, that game was played in a monsoon, but point still stands.

 

[512taylor]

Isn't their enrollment experiencing some serious decline in numbers?

 

[mstateglfr]

So what specifically is wrong with our locker rooms?

Once at a certain level, I would care about a locker room about as much as what a school's 3rd alternate uniform looks like, if i were a recruit/player, so please forgive me for not keeping up on such critical matters.

Specifically, what I have scene of it looks small, old, dull, poorly lit, with no swag at all. Google any other SEC West team locker room.
