Surprised that 10 of the stadiums are older than Sanford Stadium.

some say it reached its pinnacle during mid to late '70s....when average Joe's could watch a collegiate football game from bridge or tracks.....those days are gone, along with street ticket scalpers.

I tend to agree.  I think the expansion of the east end zone up to the bridge level is fine, and was done well, so I'm fine with that part.  Any expansion to the north, south, and west sides should have been to expand the 300 level backwards.  It would have required supports back there but they could have just added 12 or 15 more rows, and it would look way better than the Tech Deck.

The loss of the scalpers and people selling tickets on the bridge was a dark day in Georgia football history.
