    What other Commonwealth Stadium improvements could be in the works?

    Nearly all of the finishing touches on the massive overhaul of Commonwealth Stadium are finished. But Mitch Barnhart still has grander visions for the Cats’ football home.
    “There’s always more that we’re going to do,” the athletic director told the Herald-Leader last week. “I want to look at something every year that we continue to try and tweak things.”

    Not using sloth like, math challenged volunteers for concession workers?

      ^should be easy as i take it everything is in .25 increments?
      Still, nothing like a purchase coming to, say, $4.76. Give them a 10 and a penny and listen to those rusty gears.

        Now they have a cash register to tell them what to do the math thing has become largely irrelevant; now the real bottleneck is managing workflow such that cashiers aren't also getting the food while two or three pimple faced "workers" are jerking around in the corner.

        Doing away with the signing of the credit card slip would be a great help as well.

          I respect C.M. Newton tremendously, but taking his name off the field and naming it after someone far more worthy like Jerry Claiborne would be a big step in the right direction.

            Sounds like a winner, to me.

              Make all the blue in the stadium the same color! It honestly can't be that hard. Between the club level seats, various banners, uniforms, and paint on the field, there are AT LEAST 4 different shades of blue. May not be a big deal to some, but it drives me insane.

                As mentioned, the biggest problem -- BY A WIDE, WIDE MARGIN -- is the concessions. The lines were prohibitively long and slow last year. As backed up as they were, things would have been even worse if so many people -- including myself more than once -- did not just give up and walk away.

                  Doing away with credit cards period. Doesn't anyone use cash anymore?

                    No they don't and plastic is faster if done correctly.
