While we're talking about McGaw Hall, does anyone know if there was any serious consideration for switching Welsh II back to a north-south configuration, rather than the east-west direction of the floor? Just curious.

Also 10,000 plus for Kansas and some guy named Chamberlain on 12/7/1957!
Only private school with a following of non alum fans is ND and they built that fan base in the 1910s and 1920s. We effectively killed our nonalum fan base when we refused to renew Ara’s Contract.I've always though they should just cut back the seating capacity somewhat and add more comfortable seats. That shouldn't take a lot of structural work. We're about a quarter the size of the average B1G land grant college and simply aren't going to attract the same number of fans unless we somehow morph into Ohio State-style performance on the field. Also, being a private school means we don't get the casual fan who identifies with ol' state U. Probably half the fans at a Penn State game never set foot on the campus as a student. Pitt never had the same drawing power, even when it had great teams under Majors in the '70s. The down side at Penn State is you're crammed in like sardines. I'd like to see a Ryan with 35,000-40,000 seats along with better concessions and restroom facilities as some have mentioned. I may be in a very small minority, but I kind of like the old towers and other classic elements of the stadium's external design.
I don't remember any dirt portions remaining after the 1982-83 transformation from McGaw Hall into W-R 1.0. But I could be wrong...Does anyone know when the last remnants of the dirt floor were covered over? I seem to remember a graduation there in 1988 and the place was dark and dingy. Maybe still with dirt floors around the outside?
Hey, T_Levine, ParisCat sent me a picture of you and several other class of '88 Willard-ites from last week's game. Sorry I missed you.No dirt at 88 graduation
Exactly. New music building, new Kellogg building, new visitor center. All three with magnificent views overlooking the lake. New dorms and upgrades to old ones. Big upgrades to the Tech building. I was on campus recently, and it's changed significantly since I was a student 20 years ago.
They need to raze and rebuild Norris and the library. Maybe it'll happen and maybe it won't, but doesn't mean they can't renovate Ryan Field too.
McGaw always has had the east-west configuration. If it were moved to north-south, we would have fewer seats on the sides between the end lines and more seats in the “end zones”.While we're talking about McGaw Hall, does anyone know if there was any serious consideration for switching Welsh II back to a north-south configuration, rather than the east-west direction of the floor?
