I was told we may look at modeling after Dallas Baptist

Correct. It's a possibility. Just a bigger version. The big draw here is the fact it was designed by HKS. We should strongly consider using them.Quote:

I like the open air club area (left on pic) and suites on the right.

You want suites? How much cost would they add and how much extra revenue would they bring in. Or would they be just another place for the rich guys to gather and hob nob with one another and TMac and maybe watch the game. If all they want to do is socialize let them go up the street to the Alumni Center. Chair backs would be great, though. I don't believe we should go back to my day sitting in lawn chairs or on bleachers, but it was fun watching Coach Berry Hinton chase down those foul tips or chatting across the fence with the bullpen.
On that point where would you rather watch a foot ball game? In some posh suite up in the stratosphere about half way up the stadium between the forties?
Suites are a must for revenue generation - an absolute mustQuote:

If you want to buy a $100 season pass and sit in the exposed bleachers, then you should have that option too
I've held (3) baseball season tickets since the late 1990's (they were in about the best location in the stadium) - even with the gradual increase over the years, this year the cost of my seats averaged out to be $4.63/ticket per game....
That's NO WAY to try to support and fund a top 50 program
It really doesn't matter to me about the seats or suites but I still think they're just for the rich guys to socialize. If the rich guys give monetary support the suites are probably worth it. I can't drive a 700 mile round trip to watch college baseball. I might make one football game this year, but it will probably be the Rice game here in Houston.
I wish they’d have an area set up where you could grill and watch the game. Like a balcony area or something you could rent a space for to tailgate, but still have a view of the field. Now that would be something that I would pay for. Talk about a way to spend an afternoon.
I like DBU's look.
I’m all about finding ways to generate income as much as possible, but in the end it needs to feel like a ballpark. Big glassed in suites to me doesn’t feel like a ballpark. That was always my favorite part about the Shack, it just had that baseball Americana ambience. There has to be a way to combine both worlds together for all fans and kill two birds with one stone.Quote:

Whatever we do, I hope we have a nice brick facade on the outside like this. We have needed this for the football stadium since it was built and definitely need it on any new sports venue. Nothing looks cheaper than exposed underbelly of any stadium. Also, we must have suites. That is the only way to generate money. Love the club area on the Coastal Carolina one above and the grass seating in the outfield too.Quote:
