Does the "Location on Campus" section really need to be there? Can the information contained there be merged into the top paragraph? Gopher backer 04:16, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Previous rendition of Gopher stadium

It might be interesting to keep the previous rendition of the stadium with the "Can O' Gopher" circular ramp that did not make it into the 2007 rendition. 76.17.130.55 23:27, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My edits today

I gave this a pretty good work-over today, feel free to change stuff back if you don't agree with it. I flip flopped the two main sections, I think to me it made sense that the funding should come before the construction of the stadium. Besides that I tried to standardize references, provide new ones for old refs that no longer exist on the web, and a few more details and do general copy-edit stuff. I'll work on it a little more tonight (like trying to set some wiki-links and maybe add a couple more refs) and then I'm going to nominate for GA since it seems to be a pretty solid article. The only major stumbling block that I can see is the tag on the top saying things could be speculative in nature, but I think that the fact that the article is well references will offset that.

[edit] GA Review

I'm putting this on hold for two minor problems:

• Image:Gopher stadium site plan.jpg has no fair use rationale provided.
• "Other potential uses" section is a collection of single sentence paragraphs, I'd prefer to see this more prose'd.

Otherwise an excellent article and so close, in my opinion, to WP:GA. The Rambling Man 09:04, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
