What Other Big House Improvements Would You Like to See?
Over at MaizenBrew.com, MaizenBrew Dave has listed ten additional things to improve at Michigan Stadium.
Here's the abbreviated list:
- Install a Slip and Slide
- Live Wolverine Cage By Visitors Locker Room
- Rename One of the Suites the "Up Yours John Pollack Memorial Suite for the Elites"
- A Slushee machine in Section 18
- Install Cloverfieldtron
- If You're Gonna Install Lights, Install 'em With a Dimmer
- Put in a Few More Entry and Exit Gates
- Install Trap Doors Under the Visiting Fans Section
- Bring the Huron River Closer to the Stadium
- On field Holding Pen for Other Team's Convicted Felons
Here's my number 11: Apply a small electrical charge to the seating during "key plays" to prevent anyone from yelling "Down in Front"
Number 12, etc.? Number 5 covers scoreboard improvements, so that's taken.
with cauldrons of boiling oil to pour on unruly visiting fans.
Domination by the home team would be nice.
I am in complete agreement and I commend your bravery in being the first to say it.. +1
CLOVERFIELDTRON. MUST. HAPPEN.
the only job for which is to cast a light that looks like a steaming pile of poo wherever the guy "dotting the i" stands.
Bring back urinal troughs!!!
I will tell you my traumatic Troph story..... one day my friend
the spelling Nazi in me. It's "trough". I don't even think "troph" would be pronounced the same way as "trough".
I just noticed that I spelled it that way in the subject. I spelled it correctly in the post, but I don't know what I was thinking in the subject line. Just trying to squeeze a post in at work I guess.
I'll be waiting on the edge of my seat until that day.
can your story beat this.....
It is amazing how much you miss peeing on the wall at the Big House when you know you can no longer do so.
By the way doesn't it seem like the waterless urinals would get really disgusting after a while? I just don't understand how those would stay clean with no water washing the urine away
The "traps" have to be changed out more frequently (not real traps, just scented oil really). But they never are, so they end up being pretty stinky and corroding the drain.
They probably put them in to get some LEED points, but they end up being more expensive.
Sorry if this is more than you ever wanted to know about plumbing.
They wash them off with pee.
Clap on, Clap off lights.
Climate Control creating Northwestern 08 conditions at each home game
A Batcave
The Black Gate of Mordor
I never want to sit through a game with those conditions again. Ever! I wouldn't mind the temp being 10 degrees colder. Just not 33 degrees with rain and a 20 mph wind.
With the rain occasionally just freezing into snow after it has made you wet. Don't forget that part.
along with snow and hail in he later parts of the game. It was by far the worse conditions i have ever have the pleasure of sitting through.
Save for the results on the field...perhaps it was my state of intoxication that earned me my sig.
Still can't touch Purdue 95' My balls never did fully return from the depths they crept into my abdomen in a vain attempt not to freeze.
NU 2008 was brutal.
Some day we're all going to watch Michigan on top again and remember the Northwestern game from 2008. Sitting there as the clocked ticked to 0:00 was one of the lowest points of the Michigan part of my life.
5-0 final. I remember seeing the entire student section jumping up and down to keep warm.
there with you on the 95 purdue game... that was your typical day in weather for michigan... when we left my uncles at 9am it was 55-60 degrees out, we heard the weather report on the radio that it was calling for rain, sleet and snow... my uncle said that there was no way that the temp was going to drop that low for all of that to happen... well as we all know it did... i had a good time that day, at one point my dad and i were cheering for it to rain harder... by the end of the game my poncho had pretty much fallen apart... here are 3 non weather related things from that game: mike stone (stoney) sat behind my dad and i and was not prepared for the weather at all, him and his buddy bailed for the victors club at half time, mike alstott set the record for most rushing yards by a fullback, and chuck winters had the cleanest uniform out of anyone on the field that day and he played the whole game...
our epic 2010 45-17 beatdown of Sparty and our even more epic 2011 spanking of then #1-ranked OSU 55-23, clinching our berth in the NC game.
where the opposing team mascot can wrestle to the death??
No but seriously HD scoreboards thats it, I think the big house has enough seats
but your signature needs a spell-check.
Maybe he's vegan?
1. Vuvezela stands.
2. Acquire Mel Gibson to fire up the team before games, sans baseball bat.
3. Salad bar sneeze guards on the announcers booth for is Lou Holtz comes to town.
4. On a serious note, I loved the idea of a concourse that had 10ft tall statues of former Heisman winners in their best poses. AWESOME!
The team, the team, the team.
I vote a mote around the stadium.
Side note, how odd is the word "mote"?
That'd be cool, but I'd need to go buy a bote.
are pretty cold....Might want to bring a cote.
... you might wake up the next day with a sore throte.
you won't be able to glote.
Edit Anyone else?
...and I mean it!
Anybody want a peanut?
you'd just have to flote.
Or cross the depths on a winged gote.
This was hilarious! Definitely ended my work day on a high note.
Oh wait...
Don't you mean "noat?"
than the word "moat".
Very, since you're not using it correctly. "Moat" is what you're going for.
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/moat
Etymology: Middle English mote, from Anglo-French mote, motte mound, moat
Maybe I just wanted to be old school?
And we don't speak Middle English anymore as a society. Nice try, but you still misspelled that word.
I know, I know, but come on...how often do I use the word moat?
Less odd when spelled properly, moat.
EDIT: Clearly I'm late to this party.
This plan surely gets my voat!
Side noat: can we get some gators in the mote?
