Yes. Need more pictures of the scoreboard! Where are the pictures of the new lights too? That live camera isn’t showing anything besides SFC. Why is that?

Any updates on the lights? Are the old light towers behind used again or are there new ones? The old light towers looked to be out of date. Is there a new design for them?

Yes! It is not a comfortable stadium to sit in. Granted what do you expect it’s an old stadium. But a grand old stadium that can use some tweaks which is what Josh and team are trying to do. Still like the idea of chair back seats. Can make some blue and some orange. A new SEZ should have...

I’ve wondered lately what $100 million could have bought if all of it was just used on the SEZ? I like the new scoreboard and the ribbon boards and even the new lights, whatever they will look like, but if that money was just spent on extending seats down closer to the endzone as part of a...

Why don’t we have 2 lines like hockey does? It would keep all the players ‘happy’ as far as playing time goes. If a team is deep play them all and wear out the other teams. Kentucky use to do this back in the 90s.

Which do you think is more important right now, a great offense or a great defense? We had great defenses during the stepper years but we couldn’t score unless Landry was our OC. I would place more resources for offensive players bs defensive players, at least when it comes to NIL money.

Just switch out the white face-mask for an orange one and repeat the stripes like the helmet on the pants and jersey and dare I say perfection.

I don’t understand them signing Bregman then and definitely not now. All you have done is block Shaw from playing everyday. After watching Bregman not hustle to first base in the last game I definitely don’t like the signing. What a waste of money! This is why I never get too excited about...

I noticed the new LED lights are going up. The old light towers are down. Are they putting in new light towers with the new lights or are they using the old light towers again?

Looks like they are putting up the new LED lights. Does anyone know if they are putting in all new light towers or are they using the old existing ones and just putting in the new lights on the old towers?

This is reminding me of 1985 all over again. To me this a sign of how our pitching in the minor leagues as far as development is concerned is not up to par.

You never know with recruiting. I remember the 90 or 91 class that was small too. Guys like Simeon Rice and Kevin Hardy were in that class. Even though that was a small class it produced future NFL players and top ten draft picks. Maybe this class will too.

Which came first the cemetery or MS? I have always wondered why a cemetery is right next to a football stadium. All of that land is cutoff from the rest of the university. If the stadium was built after the cemetery that was bad planning and vice versa.

Has the Zuppke Field sign been covered up? In the far left picture it looks like a black vertical awning or maybe another lower ribbon board.

We never get football recruits from Iowa. In all my 40 years following Illinois football and basketball we have never gotten more than 1 or 2 kids every decade or so. Iowa comes into Illinois and gets at least 4 or 5 Illinois football players every recruiting cycle. It’s long over due that we...
