2. Stuff to do before the game that's better than walking laps on the concourse. A team history museum is nice, but you need at least two hours of activity that's not static for repeat visitors. Per Post 105, it doesn't have to be in the stadium itself. It can be across the parking lot, and doesn't even need to be football-oriented if the private sector just wants to make a big mall/entertainment area within walking distance.
3. Big TVs in the concession areas. We're talking big TVs. Big ones.
4. Individual urinals. We live in the 21st century.
5. More leg room in the seats would be nice, though I recognize that's a tradeoff with visibility.
6. A little radiant heating in the concrete below the seats would be nice.
7. Unique and recognizable architecture. When you tune in on television, you instantly know it's Arrowhead.
I think that's my main list.

I have yet to hear a single rational argument for why urinals are better than troughs in stadiums.
Shouldn't the point of a stadium bathroom to be to get as many people in and out as quickly as possible? Troughs are obviously far more efficient than urinals. Why would I want to spend more time away from my seat? Because troughs are icky?
WTF?
