Swamp Rebuild

[Mark Wheeler]

If I were a higher-up in the Florida athletic department I would be pumping the brakes on a $400 million rebuild of the Swamp and asking what the return on investment could possibly be that would make it a better experience than it has been over the last two weeks, while facing vastly different opponents.

It's going to be so much better than it has the last two weeks that you are going to invest $400 million in it?

There are still things they can do to improve the experience in the stadium. Obviously you don’t want to change the atmosphere that takes place inside during a game. However, there are a number of other things they need to improve. Especially if they’re going to keep capacity at 90,000 or greater. Walkways and access to concession stands in some of the sections higher in the structure up can be vastly improved. Chair backs are a necessity. The benches are horrible. I guess you could hold off on chair backs in the student section. But for anybody over the age of 22, I think chair backs are a necessity. And I don’t need gourmet food during the games, but come on, there has to be better options than what they’re selling right now.

You should send Stricklin all the things the recruits had to say about the atmosphere in the Swamp and maybe that will give him something to think about.

Saturday night was pretty amazing and I agree that I seriously doubt that $400 mil is going to get much bang for the buck.
