    It's bound to only be a matter of time before the track is removed, the field is dropped and a new lower level of seating added to memorial stadium. Let's face it, the concrete walls painted blue and chain-link fencing looks a little cheap. Let's class the place up a little, add some brick, ivy or hedges. Eventually I would love to see real grass brought back.

    If the field is as great as the fans, it'll be fantastic. As a visiting fan, I've never been treated better than I have been treated at Lawrence. Let's hope the football team is a little more hospitable this year than in '07!

    GBR!

    bnahusker, KU is never going to be hospitable to NU again. The days of NU's 55-7 victories over KU are gone forever. I was at the '07 game with some buddies, including an NU fan, and I relished every minute of it.
