It might just be me but I wish that UNA would put some money in the stadium. I really don't like the aluminum stands on the Royal Ave side, I think it looks cheap and don't blend with the other side. I also would like to see a football complex were the locker rooms are. I could see a replica of the Forks of Cypress. Close in the other side with concrete stands. Take out the old baseball field for more parking. Add sky boxes. And if Florence would just sell UNA the property, tear down Coffee for more parking and tailgating. The high school has plenty of room for a new stadium for Florence. I guess I am in a ranting mood.

The stadium is one reason Florence lost the D2 title game. It's just so dated and landlocked. Parking is terrible and the shared ownership dooms it.
I agree with you 100%.

Glad I am not the only one who thinks this.

The Florence Board of Education is not going to tear down Coffee.

The Florence Board of Education is not going to tear down Coffee. Never said that Florence would take down Coffee, it has been talked about that Florence could build a new middle school, if that happens then they could sell Coffee to UNA and UNA could Tear it down to make room for more tailgating and expansion.

It's just one of a few reasons I have heard. Seating capacity in Flowers Hall is okay but it needs upgrades too. In the early 80's it was as good or better than most D1 arenas but it has been unchanged basically. If you are not progressing in athletics these days you are regressing and that is a major part of being invited to a higher level.
