The current proposal will stick the flock in the corner with terrible sight lines of the field and isolate the loudest fans from the grandstand.

BUT!

Why don’t they just move the stage over and put the bleachers between the stage and grandstand????

This would give the grandstand more noise from the flock end and potentially incorporate them in the songs, as well as giving fans in the flock end a better vide of the scoreboard?

Then big top can just, move the bleachers to the other side for concerts, which might be inconvenient but seems like a better option than killing the fan experience for soccer.

So we have a bracket for the playoffs. Let's see if I understand what

As we ended up in 4th, we have a home playoff (ya!) against Spokane (meh) on Friday. For us to get to play at home n Round 2, we need Naples to upset Charlotte, otherwise, we go to whichever former confederate state they are in that I can't be bothered to remember (looks like round trip flights from Madison are about $600 and American is the best bet).

To have the Final at Breese, we need (in addition to winning our own matches, natch) either the Sad Wolves or Knoxville to advance the final so that we have the higher initial seed. For due diligence, flights to Boise are running around $600 and flight to Omaha finals weekend are about $450.

Mingos check in. Let's go

Help us bring this vision to life.
This proposal meets the needs of a historic facility while opening the door to more nationally touring concerts in Madison, which means more business for local shops, restaurants, and hotels, and a bigger stage for the City of Madison itself.

WHAT IMPROVEMENTS ARE PROPOSED?
A permanent stage is the project's centerpiece. It would improve the experience for concerts, sports, and community events alike. The rest of the package supports that same goal:
Expanded stormwater management and permanent plumbing fixtures.

Dedicated artist and event support facilities.

On-site parking and shore power for buses and large touring vehicles.

Public restrooms on the Brearly St. end of the stadium.

New locker rooms and a concession building that can also serve as a year-round hospitality space.
