What do y'all think the end zones will say? I'm thinking App State and Mountaineers, seeing as we tend to be pushing away from "Appalachian" and towards "App State"

That picture is awesome. With the evening sky and colors, it makes the picture look much like a painting.

I would rather see App State as well. Hard to mispronounce that.

Point taken about pronunciation. Still, although I don't mind "App State" in colloquial usage, for official uses I much prefer Appalachian.

If they put Mountaineers in one end zone it seems to make sense to put App State in the other

Just glad we are getting a black background back in the endzones. From this picture I found from a twitter post looks like we will have "APPALACHIAN" in one and "MOUNTAINEERS" in the other endzone.

Great picture of the stadium! Nice timing at sunset, really beautiful.

DG said on the pregame that the endzone seats increased from 1800 to 2500.

Stopped by today and The end zones look great. Also, the bleachers look a lot better and higher quality. They also seem a lot bigger this year and fill up the space behind the end zone almost completely.
