Honestly- I'd put the money into paying for a top-notch coaching staff. After they win a few games and the fans come back, then improve the stadium. As long as UMASS sucks there is little need for improving a stadium when there are only a few thousand fans in the seats.

It's been a few seasons but last time I went it was still a long walk to the bathroom in the building on the south end of the stadium. add a couple of beers to the equation...and a long walk becomes a mighty long walk... lol. Fans miss significant parts of the game making that trek.

There are new bathrooms behind each set of stands closer to the north endzone.

Two legitimate bathroom "buildings" exist now on the north side of the stadium, one for each side of the stands. That's in addition to the original south endzone bathrooms.


It still baffles me that they never put in public restrooms into the Performance Center. That should have been a no-brainer.

^ At the caravan yesterday they said it was about 60% done already. It looks fabulous in the drawing.
