Looks so much better

[Hog Fan...DOH!]

Up. Grade.

[Wildhog]

[Justifiable Hogicide]

It sure does (look better).

[motownhog]

Awe freaking some

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

Will the snout be back?  What will the team run through?

[The_Iceman]

Now, they just need to paint that ugly beige/yellow brick a dark grey and it would really update the whole look of the NEZ.

[Inhogswetrust]

It looks nice but I also liked the tusks and eyes. It was much more menacing looking. That is until they put that damn ugly snout in front of it!

[McKdaddy]

Well done.

[PeabodyHawg]

Hopefully only if "upgrayedd" also.  The old one has always reminded me of something you would rent for a 6 year olds birthday party.


Holy double quote Batman.

[GolfnHog]

yep, I like that!

[Ray Zor]

Yeah that yellow brick is awful. It kills what is a beautiful stadium.

[The_Iceman]

Yeah that yellow brick is awful. It kills what is a beautiful stadium.

It would be so easy to change it to. About a day or two of painting. Going with a dark grey (anthracite) and putting some hog logos/decals would make it look much better for the next few years until the expansion.

If you are talking about that yellow strip that runs horizontal and has "Frank Broyles Field" on it, I couldn't agree more. It does indeed look bad.

Yes it would be easy to change, but then it becomes a maintenance issue.  Brick is usually chosen as a finished wall choice for its durability and maintenance free qualities.  Once you paint it the brick must be painted again every year or 2 to maintain.  All that being said, I agree it should be painted or otherwise dealt with...  I'm a contractor so we see that issue a lot in the decision making process.

Not sure if serious or taking a shot at Frank. If not, this is the yellow we were talking about:

[Ray Zor]

Man that's horrible. The dark red brick columns look so much better. That inflatable is also horrible. Why can't we get a huge fiberglass hog there as a permanent structure?  Or any type of stone or concrete?  Something that looks apart of the BAC.

[GuvHog]

Not taking a shot a Frank, I don't mind the field being named for him. I just believe they could paint that strip dark grey with a red sign in the middle and Frank's name in white and it would look better. I agree the yellow brick on both sides of the complex is horrible too.

We don't use the inflatable hog anymore though, thankfully

[GuvHog]

Say what you will but I liked that inflatable Hog better than I did that freakin' ugly snout.

[McKdaddy]

Say what you will but I liked that inflatable Hog better than I did that freakin' ugly snout.

Agreed.  That previous thing made me long for the inflatable Hog.

[Justifiable Hogicide]

Say what you will but I liked that inflatable Hog better than I did that freakin' ugly snout.

I agree.
Liked the inflatable Hog much better.

[Piggfoot]

Surely with all the money they have they could have a realistic fiberglass hoghead frabricated. Both of the other things are cheesy.

[The Hogfather]

Now, they just need to paint that ugly beige/yellow brick a dark grey and it would really update the whole look of the NEZ.

This!  Very simple fix to make it look 100% better.

[Boardon Hamsay]

Looks good. I liked the eyes and wish they could have lit them up from inside during night games but this is good as well. I imagine the snout is probably being replaced this year as well.  Afterall, it wasn't the right shade of Pantone anyway.

[go hogues]

Yeah, the yellow building is so off putting, especially on tv. I've long wondered why they have not painted it a brick color. Like another poster said, maybe a day's worth of work.
I've always said it looks like there's a Church of Christ in the north endzone.

At least for a residence I have never understood why someone would paint brick unless they buy something bricked and don't like the color. That being said I would paint the BAC to better coordinate it with the color of the stadium facade.

Come to think of it why would anyone paint a garage floor either...........................

"looks like there's a Church of Christ in the north endzone"

Brilliant... absolutely brilliant!

[GuvHog]

Well then how about they re-brick it with bricks that match the columns behind the Goal Post???

[Inhogswetrust]

Say what you will but I liked that inflatable Hog better than I did that freakin' ugly snout.

As do I. But I hope they get rid of the snout as well.

[hobhog]

move the south end zone temporary bleachers on top of the Broyles Complex and let the students sit in that area too. They moved the coaches offices so who would care? Get some noise down there!

[McKdaddy]

As do I. But I hope they get rid of the snout as well.

It is gone this year, so said Mike Waddell from his twitter account today.

[Inhogswetrust]

That would be better but still not coordinated in my mind.

Update:
On second thought if you look at the first picture posted in the thread the red brick does coordinate/contrasts with the facade of the scoreboard pretty good and gives it a classy look.

[Inhogswetrust]

Good riddance!

[Oklahawg]

Why not some physical structure that rotates, morphing from a stoic stone building into a tunnel the team runs through.

Maybe I am channeling the barricade from Les Miserables....

[Cresthog]

Guys, Leverett Elementary is currently paper mache'ing the new snout for this year.

The previous few seasons finally gave way.

Gawd that thing was horrible, I hope it's gone.

[EastexHawg]

Am I the only one who hates the fireworks after we score?  It's not so much the "boom" as the smoke and smell that waft through the air.

[Cresthog]

No but i def. hate the length of the grass on the field.

MORE TRIM!!!

There are indoor seats available in the stadium...............................I'd wear a gas mask if it meant we scored enough to win! Heck I hope they run out of fireworks!

[Inhogswetrust]

I wonder if they got the correct Pantone color?

[go hogues]

I wonder if they got the correct Pantone color?

They did, unfortunately...

[MissippHog]

We could always enter the field like they do in Starkville 

On second though 

[Boardon Hamsay]

No but i def. hate the length of the grass on the field.

MORE TRIM!!!

Yep. Length of our grass never seems to vibe right with the funnel cake aroma coming into section 101 from the SEZ concourse.  I hope they have a correction of errors to get that right for the upcoming season.

I'm holding out hope that one day they will put a hydraulic lift kit on the entire BAC. The entire building would rise revealing the output of several thousand smoke machines as the team comes running out to "Thunderstruck" playing at volume setting of exactly 14 so that it doesn't cause any deafness concerns amongst the Hog faithful. Hopefully the before mentioned turf length issue will be resolved so that the team runs through the A a little more quickly than in past entrances.

They need to replace that funnel cake in the SEZ for another Kettle corn vendor like the one under the eastside stands. I'm tired of walking all the way down there every halftime just to get my wife some kettle corn! On second thought I shouldn't complain because she does make it up to me later.

[OnYourToes]

I like the change to the graphic.

Just bowl the thing in already!

Did someone say "Thunderstruck"?  Incorporating it in any way shape or form would be a new level of awesome.

Looks so much better

Like it

[bennyl08]

Drunk, but much like!

[3kgthog]

Amen on the new window graphics and the death of the entrance "snout".
