The gap between the Horseshoe and end zone could be used creatively. Maybe a fan zone area, pee wee football, ect.

Hard to believe Josh is not caving under the relentless pressure we are exerting regarding the south end zone.

Gap Inc. is a retail portfolio of Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, and Athleta. Sell the naming rights, put in some "premium seating" and make it a destination to come to The Gap.

Goal was to have video playable by July 1st. Keep an eye on the webcam. Maybe they will be testing tomorrow.

This shows why those trees in front have to come down - looks like you're standing closer to State Farm Center than Memorial Stadium in these photos!

Live camera now just showing State Farm Center

I wonder if Josh and Bret would let me come down and rip a little Harvester of Sorrow and One on that big TV. I'll leave right after.
