Things have really come a long way in a short time for Purdue football. Just a few years ago, Ross-Ade was being torn down, after all.

However, the resurgence being led by Jeff Brohm and Mike Bobinski continues and Purdue is now putting serious effort and thought into redesigning Ross-Ade to improve the overall football gameday experience. And I have to say I like that — they’re just just blindly adding seats or offering more comfortable chairs for the high-rollers. They’re putting thought into what might be most appreciated and how the overall Saturday experience can be better for more people.

They’re asking anyone and everyone to take this survey and they’re even giving you JPC points for doing so.

You’re not only surveyed on your feelings about the program and amenities, but also asked directly what you’d pay for certain experiences and seating arrangements. I love this because it allows you to say directly to Purdue, “Look, I have Boilerdowd money and I’d love to throw it at you if I could have four male cheerleaders carry me to my luxury suite every game…following my bath in the engineering fountain.”

There are many ideas being tossed around, but a couple of my favorites are…

Wait, so you’re saying BS could host a tailgate, take all the credit, and then just walk away and not have to clean up or break things down? It’d be like being a teenager! Thanks, mom and dad!

Or how about this?

As long as we can paint the Boiled Sports logo on the concrete, I’m in. Then we’ll raffle off a few games per season where you can win the opportunity to carry Boilerdowd to his seats after his bath in the engineering fountain or braid Aneesh’s chinbeard.

Anyway, go on over and take the survey so we can all claim to have had a hand in redesigning Ross-Ade.
