@wpmcgee I believe it'll also be from a heat standpoint as it's only going to get muggier and hotter. BoA Stadium in Charlotte can suck for a hot game, and I've been drenched there as well.

@tkpipedreams Yeah. In some ways the dome trend sucks because half the NFL is going to be indoors before long (and I say this as a fan of a team that plays inside and I like it) but having a roof allows you to host so many more events.

A lot of NFL stadiums are pretty underused compared to major European soccer venues.

The Sun Belt office has a favorite adverb-verb combo. This is their last five press releases.

The App State aura is gone. A players Dowell took to Media Days last year got booted off the team mid-season. No one knew who the starters were because the terrorists would win. "He's not an App State guy because he doesn't know where Perkinsville is." CONCERTS~! Vibes are bad.

Hey I'm drunk at Booneshine and I stopped drinking but am still drunk and about to go to the App FC match, where I can't wait til that halftime snack. I'm wearing a Hawaiian shirt cause I wanted to. The significant others of the men here need to suggest new haircuts for them.

Going back to this, ever since badmouthing the Schaeffer Center and App Summer Festival to the BOT two years ago, it seems concerts and comedy events (to raise money) is an obsession for Gillin. Yet, he didn't mention the Jon Pardi concert once in this podcast.

Bret goes straight back into revenue generation. What about these summer events? Doug says we can make an economic impact on the High Country. Athletics is a marketing vehicle. Says they need to utilize facilities better when not in season (like concerts!)

@BooneGoon1978 It wasn't mentioned in this interview. IIRC, in March it was said the bids were going out this summer.

Anything else Doug? Mentions Short Queen Chancellor Norris and alignment and belief in intercollegiate athletics. Excited to go into 2026-27 with her as leader. Excited about Loggains, mentions recruiting class. FIN

On the East Tower, Doug says multiple folks told him “if you build it, we will come.” Will start on it right after Sofield Indoor is done.
