That's changed a little with the fairly new big board at that end. But you'll here some wailing over that if a real limestone wall goes up. But it's truly needed. You have to make those hill folks come inside and pay like everybody else.
They really just need to tear it down and build a brand new stadium. They haven't built one in what 90 years? Its time for a new stadium. I realize that it was dedicated as a memorial but the place is just old and outdated and putting band-aids that you're going to have to fix again in a couple more years isn't worth all the money its going to cost. Just build a brand new one and be set for years to come.
