Just went on Google Earth to look down on God's Country from up above. Slid over to look at the stadium. Yes it will look awesome. Bleachers in the end zone not bad.

Agree. I actually dislike that more than the lack of color. I have to think that as long as they're changing one, they'll change the other.
Gillin said he wants to consolidate our logo's and word marks, and I'm pretty sure the current lettering in the end zone is being phased out. They already removed it from uniforms and coaches shirts so this would be a logical step. Making the end zones black again while doing it is a good PR move, and it just looks 10x better than the current design.

Gotta look good for when Miami comes to town. Lots of eyes will be on Boone, especially if we shock the world again tomorrow night.

I'd like to advocate a bounty for the head of anyone who uses that damned Davey Jones Yosef.

Love that the black end zones are coming! Great news.

My vote would be to use the cursive "Mountaineers" in each end zone in white.
