For those interested, the Seats3D site has the Williams and Mariucci seat viewers loaded. Don't need to go through the Gopher Points site to look through them.

The latter half of the last two conference seasons have taken their toll on me. I've had many moments of frustration with Tubby and the players. The low point for me was the Indiana game in which none of the 13,000 or so people in the building (including Tubby & Co.) wanted to be there (except...
I've said this on here before, but I would go back to the traditional 60's look for the uniform and keep the helmet as it currently is. The options I came up with on the Under Armour site are attached. At home, I would go with the basic maroon jersey on top and either white or gold pants. On...
I've seen a few images here and there, but this is the first exterior shots I've seen. Good visual of how it might sit on the existing parking lot land.

I agree that the 1960's era uniforms are the best, but I really think we should keep the current maroon helmets. Outside of the Wacker years (which I do not want to repeat in any way), we've worn maroon helmets with a gold "M" since 1977. It's as much of a signature look as we have.
I've...
I like the idea of us going back to the Warmath era uniforms, but I would keep the helmets as is. Except for the dark ages of the Wacker years, we've worn maroon helmets with a gold M since 1977. I don't think we should go back on that signature look. However, if you pair the helmet with the...
It would be interesting to know what the score was at the four minute mark for the Gophers last ten games. Amazingly, we didn't get blown out once in the midst of this streak (OSU was close to a blow out). We were in damn near every game down to the end. Testament to the importance of good...
The Daily Gopher has another update on the Practice Facility with some additional renderings and discussion of the somewhat mixed messages we're getting from ICA.

The letter sent out to season ticket-holders earlier this year about the reseating plan mentioned potential improvements to Williams Arena that will accompany the plan.
What types of things would you like to see done to the Barn?
Given the budget challenges of the U and the athletic...
What a great second half of the season by this team. I echo John Anderson's comments about how proud he was of this club. Although the last two games were certainly disappointing, the resilience of this group of kids to play through the early season struggles was impressive. It looked for a...
This is great, great news. Good start to the campaign after a wonderful gift from the Pohlad family. Hard to imagine that the U won't be able to at least complete Phase I.

Good rundown on the situation from Reusse. Nice to see a visual of what this will look like as well.
I would hope that somewhere out there in the world of big donors we could find a couple multi-million dollar donations...
News from Sid today on the ballpark front. Hope it's true and that a campaign could be kicked off soon.

Quite some time ago, there was a story in our newspaper about how Siebert Field was falling apart, how it was dangerous for people to sit in the stands and how badly the...
