Stadium
I was reading a blog on the Smart City Memphis blog about the idea of an on campus stadium. They were talking about how The University of Memphis opposed the idea. They said that when they spoke about it, it almost sounded scripted, like they had been practicing it. I know it would cost a lot of money and some people think that we should use that money for more educational purposes but I honestly think an on-campus stadium is a great idea. I understand that the point of going to college is not for sports but rather academics, I also know how students are. If the students are not involved and do not enjoy the university, then why would they want to go to class and excel. I really think that this proposal of a new on-campus stadium would attract a lot more new students. The University of Memphis is already a great school so why not make it better? We all know that our football program is not the best and this new stadium would really help out the program as well as attract a lot more new fans. I think this stadium would bring more people out to the games, which means more money for the school!

I disagree. I think an on-campus stadium is an awful idea. First of all where would they put it? Unless they tear something else down, there's no room. Second of all, can you imagoine how much traffic that would cause on game day? Living on campus, I would dread every game because it would make it that much harder and more stressful to get around campus. The Liberty Bowl is seriously like 2 miles down the street from school. Why waste that much money on something we already have that is perfectly fine?
