Please expand Wiiliams Brice. Build it, THEY WILL COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lloyddillon4537]

I wish we could've expanded the student section, like add an upper deck instead of that scoreboard

[@mbadrako3089]

+Lloyd Dillon We kinda need that scoreboard. Some people like me can't always see the field cause of being 2 short/ not standing.

[@drmbeaufort]

The last thing we need is more seats. We bareley fill the stadium as it is. Moving forward, money should go towards improving the fan experience at WB.

[@lionelkennedy1394]

The new scoreboard was a nice addition. The stadium needed that

[@davidfence6939]

Maybe if students didn't leave early that would be warranted.
