If it can fit field level seating should replace it in some capacity. Premium experiences are major revenue drivers. There could be ways to keep it in spirit but modernization may make it a victim.
I have mentioned it over and over that it should be a full size curved DIGITAL SIGN/Scoreboard which shows the COLORADO most of the time, but can then flash and become a replay board or entertainment addition. That benefits everyone, we do not need seats there. The entire South side should be the Student section from top to bottom and the band

Coming back to this. Nielson ratings have CU not in the top 10 this year.

We definitely need room for more ads, cause that's all they'd do with it.

The entire 200 level seating needs to be rebuilt and that would include the east side. Just need better flow getting in and out of the stadium with wider walkways & underways.
That is assuming the entire lower bowl is left untouched.

And while they are improving things. Am I the only one that thinks the 50 yard line Ralphie orientation should be flipped along with the band pre-game and halftime show. Everything is mostly directed to the West side. Home team stands on the East side, most students are East side. I believe everything should be oriented towards the East side.
The trick here is the innocuous caveat "average viewers when playing on Nielsen-rated networks."
ALL of CU's games were on Nielsen-rated networks. Kentucky, for example, only played 4 times on such networks this season. Those were presumably Kentucky's most popular games. If you average out Colorado's 4 most popular games, you get 5.2 million viewers, equivalent to Michigan, which was 6th.

Fair enough, so about the rating from the article I posted yesterday.
TV cameras are on the West side
WTF is this? Apparently Indiana used to have a Bison mascot and they may be bringing it back? Someone needs to let them know there is only one school allowed to rock the Buffalo/Bison mascot in the P4.
They need something in the way of branding. No one knows what a “Hoosier” is.
Which is why the Buckeyes and Crimson Tide suck at football
I always thought the crimson tide was a monthly anger rage.
"Hey Dad, what's Mom's problem? She just yelled at me for no reason!"
<Dad sighs>
"Come here, son. I guess it's time to have a talk about the Crimson Tide."
UBL, but whatever.
And the elephant mascot represents the long memory for any perceived slights during that time
The Big 12 standings at the end of the season was a cluster-F as we all know, so what could be done differently to make things work better and be more creative and exciting. How about this idea where we form two divisions each year (Not Fixed), formed by end of season standings using records and tiebreakers to mix it up, and then you play 7 games within your division to find the top TWO teams in each divisions and then cross play a semi and final, and also provide for end of year matching games for the other teams to get their 8th and 9th games.
1. A Buckeye is a tree seed
2. Crimson Tide is when algae grows in the ocean and kills all of the fish.
That is why the say “Roll Tide” because the dead fish roll up on the beach.
Big 12 was great drama this year. No thanks to divisions and given how they worked in the old Big 12 and Pac-12, might as well never do divisions again.
4 teams tying for 1st and there having only been 1 head-to-head matchup within that group is flawed.
Fixed divisions sucked
I propose fluid and balanced divisions
It wasn’t good drama at all. It was entirely anticlimactic and I don’t feel the two best teams actually played for championship. Going 2-3 levels deep on tie breakers to determine the CCG matchup because the teams didn’t play each other sucks
I think that you can balance divisions very well by doing the zipper thing. That keeps one side from gaining recruiting advantages due to location.
For the Big 12, it might be:
Great Eight
Arizona State
Utah
Colorado
Kansas
TCU
Houston
Cincinnati
UCF
Super 8
Arizona
BYU
Oklahoma State
Kansas State
Texas Tech
Baylor
Iowa State
West Virginia
CU is a top 5 draw. Everyone is rooting for us or against us. We draw ratings against FCS teams and second and third tier P4 teams that few (if any) other teams could get. If we had more marquee competition in the Big 12, the ratings would be through the roof. You know it. I know it. The American people know it.

No, we are not. If you think we are, show the actual ratings where we are.
Wait wasn't the Cornhusker part of that too?

CU has top 6 ratings. And if you check the other teams around CU, I don't think it's inaccurate to say CU has top 5 draw.
