1. Football necks.
2. Move the Rock to the west entrance, where fans and STUDENTS - the students Hep loved - can touch it and have pics with it. Inside, protected from taggers and Pee Ewe students,
3. Replace the bench bleacher seats with SOMETHING, ANYTHING with a back. BEST would be chairbacks with a small holder for a drink.
4. Build suites along the tops of the west side. "Build it and they will come".
5. Hire a game day director who's job is to create excitement EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME on a game day. Tailgate area. Stadium. Everything. Everywhere. If it stops crowd noise - it is forbidden. If it creates excitement and crowd noise - let it happen. This person is GOD on gameday. The team does not enter until he/she says so - in the manner he/she says. Best qualified person would be a Vegas show director or a person who has worked in a TV production truck at football games - and knows/feels/understands that EVERY SECOND must be scripted and DEAD AIR is a mortal sin.
6. Make people at The Ole Miss Grove wish they had the tailgate like IU. Sell them by square footage. Need a bus site? Got em. Need a truck and picnic - got em. Need a car and picnic - got it. IU fans AND visitors.
7. Run a train back and forth on, oh, I guess maybe Indiana Avenue - from Dunn Meadow to the Battleship - places that easy to know and learn and identify and even a dumb Pee Ewe fan could use them. "Park downtown and ride the train from Dunn to the Gun." Think outside the box.
8. Contract out the concessions - stop with the amateurs. Donate to charity, but don't make them work.
9. Make Don Fischer stop calling ur Home "The Rock memorial Stadium". Use orthe other - not both at the same time. The NAME is "Memorial Stadium" - dedicatyed to veterans. The NICKNAME is The Rock. If we keep that, use it in some marketing stuff. Like a rock rolling over an opponent when we have the 10th play of a drive.
10. Just win baby.
