I brought up the idea last year of a ring of honor for the stadium about half way through the football season I think. Everybody liked the idea, even wrote to AD Chun about it. Never heard anything back from him though. Every other big name program has a ring of honor in their football stadiums, why cant we?

I don't think the question is why we don't have a ring of honor…but when we will have one.  The truth of the matter is they are going to monetize the event when they decide to do it (i.e. donors wanting to sponsor the event, pay for the signage etc.)  Currently there are more important things that need to be done with the stadium, getting it rent out to 3rd party promoters, selling the remaining naming rights opportunities, get a winning football team in there and overall improvement of the entire athletic deparment.  Once all that happens, lets get Howard in there.

Tim I just brought up the point its a idea thats been thrown around. I think with naming rights out of the way, FAU signing with Sunrise Sports and Entertainment group for marketing for events and concerts for the stadium, its time to start to think about adding more to the interior decor of the stadium.

I agree with Jared and yes he is a nice guy.  I got to know Jared when I worked in Athletics as a tutor that first year all the guys red-shirted.  I saw him 10 years later at a basketball game and he made a point to come and say hi!  That was great.
