Quit nitpicking details

When have we ever let truth and finer details get in the way on egriz bama. I think you meant Gen Z though as those millennials y’all (to use familiar vernacular) complained about for years are all 30-45 years old now. And within about 5 years Gen Alpha will start to take over the social media scene. Gen X is rapidly approaching retirement age. Sure nice of Gen Z to bring back the nostalgia of the mullet, stache, short shorts and tube socks for the older generations

As for the stadium, it could use a power wash and paint on some of the exposed concrete areas. Especially that northwest corner.

Power wash, sure. Paint? Once you start painting concrete you'll be painting it forever and in between it looks absolutely crappy.

Should have been more clear. Painting or replacing the Washington Grizzly signage on that outside corner, not all of the concrete. The signage is badly faded from the sun. The concrete is very stained from moisture dripping down especially after wintery snow.

There’s a few aesthetic areas that need some TLC.

How many have wanted to experience various football fields, but couldn't get past the locked gate?
Living in the Phoenix area, I went to Sun Devil stadium in the aftermath of the Pat Tillman fiasco. Impromptu shrine appeared at the gate, which was locked. Same locked gates I found at Autzen Stadium, Husky Stadium, Albertsons Stadium, you name it and its locked. You might have a chance at Holt Arena as they are a little more laid back. What is this guy bitching about?

Truth be damned!

Also, I've never been good at generation names. The important part is i blame everything on those younger than me.

The stadium isn't "beat". Jeez, he didn't even get into the stadium. What a dumb comment. By him and by you.

Yeah it was an insanely stupid comment. One thing we could do that would be great is if we replaced that chain link fence surrounding the stadium with say maroon wrought iron decorative fencing.

Oh yeah because if he got inside he definitely would have seen a different stadium. Haha

It’s ok to acknowledge some areas of improvement. But maybe you just have poor standards.

1. While not everyone is going to agree I assure you that these videos are incredibly important to recruits, transfers, and their family. The vast majority will only make it to Montana once before enrolling (their OV). And facilities show investment, and investment shows ability to develop players and has a direct correlation to winning for various reasons.

2. That said, this guy is an idiot if his whole thing is showing up unannounced. How can you hold that against UM?

3. There is a very good video already out there that I know has been very helpful to at least a few in this current class. What a difference when you plan ahead.

4. I think the stadium and facilities are pretty good, not great... But they do need TLC... Weight room is great, nutrition area is just OK, locker room is good not great, meeting spaces are ok to good. And the indoor, it's sad, even more so when you compare to the teams that are direct competitors. These things matter and get recruits, truly.

Locker rooms are ok?? What would you do to improve them they seem pretty damn nice for FCS and most midmajor schools???

They absolutely do not compare to "most" mid major schools. This is simply incorrect. It's "nice" for FCS yes it is, though the top 5-7 schools are slightly nicer. Or "fine" overall for football, and basic. There's nothing to the locker room, it's just that, and when you want your guys to be hanging out in there it could use a few dollars thrown at it. I've been in plenty of locker rooms, I don't think the goal of the program is to just say this is better than EWU, Idaho, or PSU. Right? Motivation enough should be that the school across State has nicer stuff besides the weight room.

This really isn't that important since there's nothing wrong with the locker room. Everything I say in this forum I am just here trying to give insight to everyone, especially from the perspective of recruits, families, and players in TODAY'S world. Instead of fans and/or donors who just don't know what's important to these guys (because why would you?).

Of course we have yet another person come on egriz to bitch, whine and moan about something. Sounds like of those assholes who live in America but constantly complains about living here. You don't like the fan experience then don't come. And the Griz didn't miss a golden opportunity to showcase anything. Everyone who knows football, knows all about the Griz and our facilities. This has got to be one of the dumbest posts I've read on egriz.

Who the F is Gfed and why would anybody care about (insert pronoun). ??
