[QUOTE="stinger 1957, post: 1007611, member: 1682"] When the last stadium rebuild was being done someone involved with the project and planning of it all spoke to lunch bunch and at that time said the next major rebuild of BDS would be a complete rebuild of the west, press boxes and all, connecting it to the north. That has been a while now so who knows if that is still the plan. If we're getting out of the ACC and end up in the "BIG" then I would like to see us do the plan and wait on the Wardlaw and East to see what actually happens with the crowds in a new National conference. I'm one that believes it will increase the crowds substantially if we're a competitive program. Included in my thinking is some attendance by "BIG" people living in ATL. Some have actually said they would come to BDS if GT were in the BIG. 250 million for stadiums today does not go a long way, they seem to be doing a lot of ammenities with them today, making them entertainment centers sort of. Some that know more about this might want to comment. In our case if we were doing the west, building new press boxes, suites, upper deck, bars/food etc could eat up 250 mil pretty quick I'm guessing. Frankly I hope we're doing something like this, the new Fannin center and money raised for new stands etc shows we're serious about our comittment to bigtime CFB for our entry into a new National conference.
