Lol, yes, my friend … there are a handful of trees in Grange Grid. Are there as many as one would expect for an area designated as a “grove” or as many as would create a more unique atmosphere with more character than a flat square of grass? I think the answer to both is clearly no.
I’ve wondered the same. I’d pay $50 for a spot but without the grill it doesn’t really seem like tailgating. If I’m going to eat from a food truck I can just eat in a shady spot on the grass and save the 50 bucks. I’m not sure what the big concern is, it’s not like we’re going to burn down the trees!

Correcting myself. I spoke to the rep - when they say "no open flame" in the literature they mean "no open fires". So, charcoal/gas grills are allowed. Sounds a lot better now. Though you still have to lug your stuff out of there before gametime or within an hour of game end, so better park close by if you're going to do it

You cannot leave game to go to Grange Grove and get back into the game. Unless you have a 2nd ticket.
LSU mock is outstanding, other than at the field it needs to be elevated. Blends in a little of what Iowa did as well and their endzone is excellent.LET'S GO! While I think absolutely everyone would love this or an updated take on this general design...
It really needs to be re-emphasized that ANYTHING is better than what we currently have! If we determine that too much of our newly found funds have to go toward NIL and we need to cut down on the "grandness" of the SEZ renovation, even a scaled down version of what LSU did (literally just threw suites on top of what was already there) would be such a huge improvement. Memorial Stadium is so beautiful, and we cannot let the incomplete and unfortunate look of the Horseshoe be an unnecessary eye sore on it any longer!
Also, I did an MS Paint mockup of this somewhat scaled down version a while back in a previous thread...

In other words, I definitely want something grander than that, and ideally it would honor the amazing architecture at our stadium. However, the worst case scenario is that we determine we need more for NIL and let the status quo stand ... even if it's at a reduced price, bringing the SEZ stands down to field level and adding height to trap noise behind them needs to be the bare minimum and needs to be a priority!!
So happy by today's news.
There was a press release a while back about a bunch of concessions updates, including the horseshoe.
I would pay $500 to get a Michigan M logo painted into one .
Like with any investment, you need to hook one whale to make the others more comfortable with giving their own cash. I agree with the others who say that this will reel in other big donors who won't want to be left behind
