I am not a fan of the Willy B hanging banners. It makes Indiv > Team.

So, when the HBC's banner was there last year I was not a fan of that nor the new one displayed today. Wondering how others feel. It puts too much emphasis on ONE PERSON and not TEAM.
Team wins games. Boom said this week that the number #1 for all of the parts of the team (DBs, QBs, LBs, etc) is WIN. So, teams win and lose together. It's all about team and the banner thing is all about an individual. GO COCKS! #BeatMissSt #LessCowBell

I don't have a feeling one way or the other about the look of the banner but feel the money could be spent on better things.

Haven't seen a new banner, what is it?

It's bush league. Statues to recognize proven greatness are good. Banners are cheap. Not inexpensive - cheap.

Well, the banner isn't recognizing a player, so there's that.

Also, as far as it being cheap and wanting statues: 1) Who would you make statues of? 2) What happens to the huge, ugly, concrete elevator shaft?

2) That area could be covered with a large version of the schedule for the season.

I hope this is the biggest problem we have this season.

I have no problem with decorating the stadium. For years, fans whined because it was too "concrete" and plain. Think it's safe to say, you can't please everyone.

Agree. Another Tanner decision.

Paucity of statues would not justify banners, IMO.

Atlanta Cock...no matter what they put there, YOU were going to bitch, moan, and complain. If they had left it blank, you would whine about how Tanner should have put a giant banner up. Have you EVER been happy about anything? EVER?

Mrs. Tanner, is that you?

Do you ever contribute anything meaningful to this Board? I notice you often post a bunch of BS, and you love to jump on posters who express an opinion that differs from yours. Do you ever let an opinion pass or do you always have to attack a diverse view?

I think it's a poor decision by Tanner, which is not his first. I think the money would have been better spent elsewhere. Deal with it.

Really don't think ANYTHING makes this poor guy happy. God bless his family.

Hey Beckham... So that #1 Player picture is not Deebo? It's a facade? Well, the HBC's banner was not a facade last year, right? So, to make my point, NO INDIV (player or coach) is greater than TEAM. We need TEAM this year. Banners of individuals... not so much.

Well done logo banners are attractive. Banners with peepuls on 'em look strange to my eye and convey the notion of an over-zealous real estate sales person.
Our stadium-area upgrades have been beautifully executed. I'd ask the architects responsible for those designs for opinions of what type 'relief' might be applied, appended to the elevator facade to improve its visual aspect in tandem with the overall improvements.
Gotta' be some attractive bas-relief application they could employ to improve that large surface. The banner's OK as a stop-gap measure, but some type architectural element would eliminate/avoid the perception of 'cheap'. King Ward's right, it ain't "inexpensive".

Dude, you read my mind. It's not an actual player... it's a "guy" in our uniform. And the only reason it's hanging there is because our stadium has no brick, no anything on it... just massive walls of concrete.

And that ought to be corrected. It's about one step up from that blue tarp you see on the roofs of leaky houses. Cheap, but not inexpensive - and not a real enhancement, either.

To remember what Spurrier did for the program he should have a statue. Then Every year we should take it down mid season.
