saying that 11 months before the season is a little premature. boxes sold out. all but two loges are gone and the majority of the club is gone. still 11 months to sell. They will sell out

Because we weren't winning big, and many fans were doubting Cohen, up until last June.
No they don't. They've never given a ****.
Because you're trying to spend 30 mil to best a few other teams while we're already in the 90th percentile.
I'll go with Scott Stricklin on this one. Things cost money.
We've already decided that. We went out and hired one of the best coaches out there, and have a Top 10 facility.
What does it matter? Ive been to the new box over 20 times. I live 9 hours from baton rouge, fyi.
What's the difference between dnf and om's stadium? Isn't theirs the same thing but chairbacks go all the way down? I don't remember it being angled for sight lines.
Why does the blue line run parallel to the lines in the Bama example but at @ 20 degrees on ours?Yet you see -- literally everybody -- tearing down and rebuilding new baseball stadiums. Ok -- the Cubs didn't -- they are spending $500 mil renovating -- and Fenway has been under constant renovation for a decade now... Everyone else has seen fit to build anew.
LSU? Start over.
South Carolina? Start over.
Kentucky? About to start over.
Alabama? Basically starting over
Arkansas? First stadium built on a modern design in the late 90s -- as such, it's modular and expanded almost yearly.
Ole Miss and aTm underwent "renovations" at > 2/3 the cost of building anew. These will prove to be mistakes over the longterm I believe.
I contend that there is no "tradition" held in the concrete of a grandstand -- but in the people that fill the seats.
As far as it being "beyond saving", I'm guessing you haven't watched a game from the bleachers in a very long time. There is no aesthetically pleasing way to build down the lines with decent sightlines -- because of the angle that the DNF grandstand was initially built. You either have a crick in your neck sitting down there -- or you turn your whole body and look "through" the person sitting next to you. I contend that the sightlines from those bleachers KILL the amount of people that actually show up to games...
Here is what I mean. This is compared to Sewell Thomas, who Alabama is basically razing to the ground and starting over to the tune of $30 mil(proving that Bama ALREADY had a better base to build from than DNF -- at least from a sightlines perspective -- since they can "angle in" seating down the lines and we really can't)...
