I'm super tired of 1LL1NO1S
Well that pretty much also kills any hope I had with the uniforms if we're still using that God awful font. No way we do script on the helmets with that atrocity in the endzone.
Not a big fan of the Block I inside the state outline.
Yeah, looks like they made it smaller. And while it's technically centered it looks off because of the shape of the state.

Yeah, the Block I is smaller, but the state outline is the same size. AND not sure it will stay this way, but there aren't any yard markers inside the state outline anymore which is a slight change.
Also, are we still using those pellets that get kicked up and make the orange color look terrible?
Looks to me that they improved the font on the yardline numerals. Prior version was a chunky-looking style that I never liked.

Can't please everyone all of the time. Can't even please everyone some of the time. Guess we'll have to settle for pleasing some people some of the time.

Most college stadium seating is gray concrete. Thats what fans are for..
Seeing all that gray during a game is depressing, but I'm pretty sure 95% of all college stadiums seating is that color.

Absolutely, that and the two tone are the best part for me.

Posting one exception does not refute his statement. A cursory Google search of "football stadiums" and looking under images, shows it may not be quite 95% that are gray/concrete, but not too far off (maybe 90%?).

Would be nice to have some real seating around our stadium too. My back could use a break every now and then.

agree. but methinks you will be waiting awhile for that
Not trying to refute the statement. Just showing how cool it could look. Also hides empty seats a lot better than NW's tarps.

Gotcha. It certainly does look better! Maybe Josh can make it happen when they finally get around to the South End zone project.
Then you've never been to Purdue . . .
