Coach the year prepping his 11-1 Indiana Hoosiers for the first round of the 12 Team CFP against the historic Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Read that sentence again.

Didn't realize we were discussing new practice facility in the ND thread. 

New practice facility needs to happen, but I want a structure for suits, too. Our stadium still needs major upgrades, not necessarily major additions to large numbers of seats.... but there are LOTS of examples of structures built "on the outside of stadiums" that tie into the stadium and suits/pressbox/etc.

Paging Camp Randall Stadium! Their old press box is still up and it's a turd even compared to ours. I can't believe it's still there, but on the opposite side (our east side), they have boxes/offices/suites/ that literally run the length of the stadium. Probably 125 yards worth of facility there and 3+ levels above the stands.

Never been to Camp Randall, but hard for me to picture a turd-ier press box than ours. 

10ish years ago I spent a lot of time in it, and they always served what appeared to be gas station grab n go sandwiches and lukewarm chocolate chip cookies, lol

yuuuuup. Camp Randall, even Notre Dame stadium are good examples of stadiums that have structures built to connect to attach to their venue.

This is from 2003 and other than a name slapped on the front, it hasn't changed.

Here's a view from the old box to show what I'm talking about. That facility on the other side is massive. Our NEZ multiplied by about 4.

I just don't see why we couldn't build that exact structure on our east side? That is just straight suits, right?
