112,746, the largest in the nation. And we can still see the comfounded bridge.

My 72 year old dad believe it and called me in a lather.

Of course it's a ho ax, but if it were true, forget the bridge.  What always made it unique was that it was officially outside of the stadium but still a huge part of the gameday experience.  Now that it's ticketed, it's no longer that Bulldog Point of Pride.

Agree, no real reason to keep the bridge at this point.  Its interesting that at 92,746, we're the largest college stadium that doesn't seat over 100,000.  And at #9, we'd still be in the top 15 even just going back to the 1982 RR track end zone closing (82,122 if memory serves).  I think just finishing out the lower level and adding the upper deck in that west end zone would put us over 100.  Not going to be #1 in seating without extending the upper upper deck on around.  But I don't see the need to get into that pissing match.

Well, the bridge is actually used as a bridge for the other 359 days a year, you know for students and school buses.
