for the eastside expanxion is this:no 2nd deck 
because the fans on top deck are disconected with 
fans below.I have been up there almost in moon 
orbit;instead like a continuance of stands, a 
walkway concourse between the two levels with 
at least three tunnels for entry and exit. I 
don't particularly care about this structure 
for north end of the stadium.Also, don't even 
dream about playing in the new 49er stadium, 
too costly even veteran fans paying thru the 
nose.

: It's nice but Spartan Stadium has spoiled us,  
: there's not a bad seat in the house.  
: Watching at Stanford, unless you're on the  
: 50 20 rows and below you can barely make out  
: what's going on. From the visitor section  
: it's not any easier and every play we have  
: to wait for the announcer to tell us what  
: happened, unless of course they are on that  
: side near the endzone. I guess it's what's  
: intended but I'd much rather be spoiled and  
: enjoy the game at SS. Stanford stadium has  
: all the bells and whistles though but it's  
: not very fun if you can't make out what's  
: going on in game. At SS you know when  
: someone picks their nose, not that anybody  
: wanted to see that but you could. If the  
: renderings of SS get done and an expansion  
: of eastside get done with more speakers  
: around the stadium that should be fine, and  
: should increase capacity to around 45,000.

: We've gone to this game every year and  
: represent as best we can as Spartan  
: "traveling" fan's. I agree with  
: you about the tree's. I watched the Stanford  
: spring game and if people think they are  
: going to be weaker due to the loss of Luck  
: and the personell losses on O-line are going  
: to be in for a rude awakening. They were  
: good, USC type good, maybe even better. The  
: only way to not get blown out in this game  
: is to get into a "shoot out" and  
: match score for score because they are going  
: to score, a lot. If the thinking is keep it  
: close and win it in the fourth quarter I'm  
: afraid that's not going to happen and could  
: get ugly. You could get away with that  
: thinking with a "lesser" opponent  
: but not with a machine like that. Just go  
: out and go to work, chopping down the tree  
: and keep chopping away until you can't chop  
: anymore. Start fast and finish strong and  
: hopefully the scoreboard when the clock says  
: 0:00 at the end of the fourth quarter we  
: have more than they do.

: They actually did pretty good last year and  
: I  
: believe they are 1 small step away from  
: winning at least 3 or 4 more this year. When  
: they had the lead, (up on Idaho by 20), they  
: stopped. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER  
: NEVER stop.

: OK OK if you're up by 50 you have my

: With new OC I'm hoping he opens the offense  
: a  
: bit and throw downfield more;in other words,  
: stretch the field.Last yr it was  
: predictable,off tackle runs and swing  
: passes.Def. kept us in the  
: game so to speak.Overall the offense should  
: be  
: more productive running and passing.

: IMO, If the season starts out great (upset  
: at  
: Stanford -28) ESPN will be picking up all  
: the San Jose games they can get their hands  
: on. If the season starts out good or ok  
: (competitive with Stanford) then they could  
: be picking up a few more ala BYU/Lala. If  
: the season starts out bad (dismantled at  
: Stanford) then they'll be lucky to be on tv  
: at all. I hope Fales is as good as  
: advertised and/but Jurich is ready to step  
: in and win it this time if he's not. SJ  
: should have beaten LA last year (I was  
: there) and I'm glad there's a new OC this  
: year after that play calling.

: Also, Inside Sparta disclosed the same info  
: on  
: televised games.I would like to see BYU game  
: telvised too.Starting with the Cards if we  
: can  
: give them a run for their money it could be  
: start  
: of something big in terms of televised games  
: for  
: the Spartans.I'm not advocate of night  
: games,gets  
: too cold, rather enjoy warm sunny day at  
: Spartan  
: Stadium chomping down on those hotdogs and

: After having 10 of 12 games televised last

: up as the season gets close, and, if the
