Interesting, I wasn't aware of which came first, us, IU, or WF. I did


know why it was never "bowled" by connecting east and west with a continuous structure due to the ADA, building code issues. I know there have been others that had the same issue. Somebody, FSU maybe, has a gap/divider in an expansion. It looks continuous and closed in, but it really isn't.

The west side expansion, for lack of a better term, in my opinion, wasn't worth the costs. I know the pressbox needed to be bigger, have suites, etc, but when it comes to designing and building something, a governmental entity never quite gets it's money's worth, primarily through their own self created red tape and being a general pain in the ass to work with.
