Been thinking. Parking is limited in Fayetteville. The largest lot is across from Baum.

Consider a massive parking garage with elevated rail service going up Razorback Rd and back. Platforms serving all the major venues between Baum and Razorback Stadium.

It doesn't have to be operated year round, but will require year round maintenance.

THAT is over the top. Oregon ain't done it yet. Would anyone here be in support of something so lavish in order to get ahead?

Just wondering.
Yeah, a parking deck with rail system will really give is an advantage in recruiting.

I've always thought making the Pit a parking deck with tailgating lawn on top would help recruiting.  The player walk down the pit could still be open air with the deck splitting in the middle.  Imagine people leaning over the rails 4 stories high to greet the players walking through.  If recruits were brought through the stadium that way, it would definitely be a recruiting advantage.

How about a game day train from Little Rock to RRS?  Round trip arriving 2 hours before kickoff and leaving 1 hour after the game.

That would be awesome.  A speedy mono-rail-type thing shaped like a Razorback.

That would be sweet.  Something kiddos would never forget.

With a huge lavish beer garden (BYOB) on the top with landscaping and trash chutes...

The players already have transportation to and from the game, could care less about OHR system!

The stadium isn't ever full anyway after deer season, real fans support the their team no matter how long the walk!!

You're not a Hog fan anyway so why do you care?  Does AU not have a message board?
Quote from: Michael BernalWhat's your favorite Arkansas tradition?
"I can't be cliché and say 'Call the Hogs,' but I think I have to.  That's just something that sets our university apart.  When you're out on the field and everyone in the stadium stands up, it's amazing.  Even when we're at a football or basketball game, just to see that many people around you doing the same thing for you when you're on the field or for the other guys who are playing, it's pretty awesome."

Like BART in Bay Area, call it HART Hog Area Rapid Transit

It would have to leave on Friday to get there. :D
Switch tracks/lines in Ft Smith. But a great idea for Ark/Mo railroad from Van Buren to Fayetteville. They make the run already with their passenger/scenic tour trains out of Springdale.

Love the Hogs, but I'm sure AU has message boards.  Most teams do I would think.

Parking is a problem if you're coming from Baum.  The Buses get congested with traffic headed to the stadium.

It's actually a cool idea. But you know, there are always people out there who raise hell if they think something is going to spoil their view. To me elevated monorails look futuristic. Hippies would rather have fans walk to the games because walking is nature-like. But then hippies would rather have frisbee tossing as the big sport on campus.

LOL.  I know you've spent a lot of time in Fayetteville, and it shows.  Heck, I went to school up there from '76-81, and it was like that even back then.  We called them field hippies back in the day.

That would be so cool. You would think with all the money they spend on facilities, parking and transportation would have come up at some point. Wonder how many years before they put escalators in the stadium.

Hey Justin. I guess aggies don't know which way the sun goes up and down. That picture had to have been taken in the morning or early afternoon. The sun goes down in the west therefore the sun will shine up under that canopy and on some of those seats during afternoon games....................................

Man, I spent plenty of time baking under that hot Texas sun on that 2nd and 3rd deck. Next thing you know, the students will think they can sit down..softies. ;)

And, despite what was said, it will still provide shade for those 11 AM games not to mention some rain protection.

I just think it's really funny the difference between not having a facility at Arkansas vs. not having a facility at Georgia.

At Arkansas, if we don't have a facility that recruits would like to have, it's a big negative and the reason why they don't come here.

Whereas in Georgia, if they don't have a facility that recruits would like to have, they let it slide and will still pick Georgia.

Makes you shake your head.

Ole Miss celebrates groundbreaking of new basketball arena

Quote"It's ceremonial, but it shows it's a reality. We've seen the construction fence, the dirt going out, the parking garage going up, but you've got to really celebrate a milestone like this," athletics director Ross Bjork said.

The building has an $85 million pricetag and is expected to open in December of 2015.

Bjork also announced the arena's name, and it, like the building, is under construction. The new facility will be called "The _____________ Pavilion at Ole Miss."

That will change if the school can sell naming rights. The buyer's name would be inserted in front of "pavilion."

UGA athletic board to hear proposal for indoor practice facility

QuoteAthens — The indoor practice facility so many Georgia fans have fretted about apparently could be on its way soon.

Georgia Athletic Director Greg McGarity confirmed on Tuesday that he'll present to the UGA Athletic Association board at its regularly-scheduled fall meeting next month several options for building a multi-million dollar facility somewhere on campus.

"We will continue to have discussions about it at our fall board meeting," McGarity said. "It's going to be what I'd call an informational item. We're trying to identify the most viable and realistic way to incorporate an indoor practice facility on campus."

McGarity would not provide details but, in the past, he has spoken of a $15 million project that would erect an 80-yard by 140-yard facility at a site next to the softball/soccer complex on South Milledge Avenue.

"Those numbers and locations are viable based on preliminary studies," McGarity said cryptically.
