It would literally look better if we had a permanent basketball court there rather than this empty grass.
It would honestly even look better with the track still there (like Kansas) or a frickin' garden or ANYTHING but empty grass extending a hilarious distance past the goal line. I know it is this way because we used to have a track, but we have not had one in years. Right now, while looking at the rest of the stadium, it honestly looks like we just messed up and got the angle wrong on accident and decided to stop.
I know I care about this more than most, but I wouldn't expend any energy on it if the rest of Memorial Stadium weren't so beautiful and the potential weren't so high. This should be one of the most revered stadiums in the conference; there is nothing we don't have "baked in" to make it a beautiful stadium that places like Camp Randall and Kinnick Stadium have ... we just have one end zone that looks totally out of place, outdated and ugly.
