I've watched a game from out there a total of one time in my life. Everybody can mark my words. There will come a day when we all wish we had back what we're discarding now.
    If everybody is convinced it will be ruined, it will be ruined. Just like it started with a few pickups and turned in to what it is now...it will graduate to something else now. It will be a change at first, but Intramural is right, it's the people and the atmosphere that make it. And it will still be unique, just in a different way. It'll be as great as we want to make it, or as bad as we want to make it.

    Exactly. The rigs aren't what make the LFL fun and unique. It's the people. And now it's going to be safer and more accessible for people to enjoy.

    I still don't get where the 'more accessible' part is. Are people talking about the concourses through the lounge or the open spots in right? Are the open spots in right going to be first-come, first-serve? If so, I may get me a little side business going. Any of you from Jackson or the coast? I'll get you a spot in right for around $70/game. I only live about 5 minutes away

    I know the intent is to modernize the outfield area, and still have the socializing, grilling and all that is associated with the outfield area now, but I think one of the main factors too is safety issues. That is a safe environment for all.

    It's just as safe as the junction is on game day.
