No, it’s a stadium; we play football in it. But you think what you wish, I’m through with this debate.
I’m fine. My comment was open a go fund me for backing on the video screen.

The previous video board had a back cover no? Hard to believe adding one would not be possible with this one.

This would have been incredible.
Gotta expand to 60k before we add a fancy brick exterior

As a 50+ year UH FB fan, I couldn’t care less about any kind of scoreboard backing or any brick facade or any palm trees… let’s just start winning a lot more FB games.
In my opinion, we need more fans not more stands.
Now if some other fan(s) want to see any such changes, then I would suggest that they contact the AD and offer significant financial support for same…

That doesn’t make sense to me, when they just spent $160 million on a football facility.

Right? You could make the same argument about the two video boards, metal cladding on the stadium, statues and stuff outside the stadium, and ribbon boards. None of that stuff is necessary, either.
That’s more than the stadium cost back in 2014. Of course to
build the stadium today it probably would over $ 240 million.

Regarding the video board we don’t know if there is more to come. We are in good hands, let the pros do what they do best.

What in the AI garbage helly?
judas, this palm stuff never ends. multiple posts on it in less than 24 hours. palms are not native to houston, which is why most all planted for the first superbowl in houston have died.

Most palms don’t do well in freezes. The 83 and 89 freezes decimated palms here in the RGV. Most of the the palms you see down here now were planted after those weather events and the types palms used changed based partially on freeze hardiness. Palms get pretty rare north of say Corpus Christi I have observed. Does anyone know what type of palms were planted at the old stadium and if extra precautions were put in place during freezing weather? Palms are a grass actually not a tree btw.
