The important thing is Dooley and the University are taking very bold steps to bring all sports facilities up to par.
I understand the concern about traffic congestion but in order to grow, we have to rethink parking. Real growth of our program will mean everyone can't park at the 'front door' any more. While eliminating Stadium Blvd might make it harder to get out of the JAS parking lot, if we are content on using that lot for the bulk of our game day parking, then we're not thinking as big as our new athletic director is thinking.
