Can someone explain why we can't have a 6:00 or 7:30 game on Saturday?
Please, just an honest question. Why do you prefer night games?
I would just like to shake things up a little. Especially, September games could be at night. Also, someone mention having the LED lighting. What good does that do if we only play during the day.
The LED lighting system costs about 500k. That’s a good chunk of change to only use maybe one night game a year.
That’s it? AppStateNews claimed it was $2-3M, 2.5 years ago.
We would have used them last weekend late in the game. Oct 18, weeknight home games…etc.
Any game after 4pm mid October and beyond needs lights. 2nd half’s for sure.
And recruiting (this goes for basketball and other sports programs that tour the football facilities). Other NEZ events…etc
No brainer for $500k if it helps gets recruits and improves the atmosphere. Where do I donate?

Glad to know the cost though. That means they are talking about it or at least priced it out!

It ain’t happening. As I said, 500k for one game a year isn’t worth it. I get your point and understand your rationale, but unless you want to write that check, there won’t be one written by athletics.

That’s embarrassing and sad. Every other school has them that’s worth a dang. Can’t write the $500k check but if asked, I’d pay something.

My old high school has them. It’s a shame we don’t.
