Lovie and Co. are starting to land some solid talent. The next step is the game day experience. We've all been to a game in Champaign. It's fun, but it doesn't hardly stack up to the party that is games at Wisconsin, Iowa, Ohio State, etc. What do you all think needs to happen for Illinois to develop a rowdy game day experience? Is it a 'if you build it, they will come,' type of thing? I know it's an odd thing to think about, but recruits see the difference from the sidelines.

On a side note, does it seem like Memorial Stadium isn't geared for that type of crowd to you guys? I mean, I love it, it's beautiful, but there are so many gaps and such. It just seems less imposing than other B1G stadiums.
