Stadium Expansion?
Well, not really...but a guy can dream, right? If I had my dithers (which I won't probably ever with regard to this) and were David Boren for a day, I would do the following to Memorial Stadium (Or L'estad de Memoriale as they say in France - not really, but that's how I would say it if I was French so nyah):
1. Build up the North Endzone and connect it to the uppers on the East and West, still keeping the Octagon (in fact, I would hit the ESPN folks to start calling it that instead of the Gaylord Stadium or whatever it is they can't say). 'The Octagon' just sounds badass.
2. Build onto and expand the South Endzone to reach almost completely around.
3. Build more restrooms and make them better.
4. Fix the 'kid's mascot' so it isn't the two lameass horse-pig things. Make it a reinvention of Mex. Have a cool dog suit (which you can do much cooler than the horses anyway). Kids like dogs. Bring Mex back.
I see our stadium looking a little like 'The Shoe' at Soonerville of the North (oh, c'mon, like you can't see all the similarities -- historically famous/outlaw coach -- current coach started Youngstown, OH -- colors are similar -- success is similar, etc., etc.). I did a little comparison. Dig it:
