Sanford Center Thoughts
Sorry this has taken so long...been busy with football and other work-things.

What are my thoughts on the Sanford Center?  Duh...I like it...a lot!  Like most people, I think it's a great place to watch a game.  Of course, I don't have to pay for my seat, but I don't think that changes things.

Are there things that I'd change if I built it...of course.  I think we can all say that about every building we've ever been in...be it a house, office, or hotel.

My pros:

* in-house "entertainment" - What an upgrade from the Glas!  From the jumbotron to the intermissions...the feel is BIG TIME!
* press box - sorry, I'm greedy...I like the fact that people can't come up to me to tell me that somebody left their lights on in the car!
* mmm...beer (even though I can't partake!)

My cons:

* jumbotron - can you play video replays?  If you can, it would be a nice touch!
* banners - can you lower them...it's hard to see them if you're in the lower part of the bowl
* glass - why is there so much?  I understand that the law requires a railing so that people don't fall...but do we need glass AND a railing?
* atmosphere - I'm sure it will come...but it's not the Glas yet!
