First order of business is a better gym. Not that the fish bowl is bad. But it could definitely be better. I'm talking things like the Hercules Hold and Atlas stones. Big boy stuff. But after that, I feel like we should upgrade our entrance you know. Like get me a bungie station so I can jump down into the middle of the field. Fireworks! MAYBE AN ACTUAL SHARK TANK! you know Really get the fans going. Who doesn't wanna see a hecking shark you know what I mean.
But yeah other then that the food could be better for the team. More protein packed snacks between periods. A whole massage parlor with dedicated with a full team to really help the team recover. Blood flow is super important when playing football. Muscle failure just isn't an option. Well there you go, that's what I would do to blow a large amount of money on upgrades.

The “Silverbacks Home Curse” has followed New York for almost the entirety of their existence. No matter the quality of the team put onto the gridiron the Silverbacks seemingly struggled to get a home record above .500. Even this season, where at most the Silverbacks will have 5 losses on the year, it is extremely likely they will have a worse home record than road record. The team’s solution? Put tens of millions into essentially building a new stadium in the same spot. With a traditional outdoor football design you will see a beautiful blend of state-of-the-art tech with classic stadium design. Football itself is played best in the elements but the fan experience is not, so there is to be no seat in the house that does not have at least some protection from the rain and cold. For those fans with more money than sense, they will find no better deluxe club seats with televisions ensuring all angles are covered and fantastic food service making the patron feel as if he is eating at a 3 Michilan Star restaurant.

How would Legs McMillion spend McMillions to renovate a stadium? For starters, the locker room would now have a swimming pool. Most fans don't realize that Legs can actually swim. In fact, due to his composition, he can float effortlessly. This would be a good way to decompress with the team after a game.
Next up, the Crash would get an actual rhino for their stadium. We're civilized people here in Cape Town, so we wouldn't be painting the rhino purple. This would be a fun way to give fans something to do before the game and help bring our logo to life.
Finally, we would build an underground field for when the Cape Town sun gets too hot. Instead of worrying about getting a big enough stadium awning or even just debating keeping the whole thing indoors, a full second underground stadium would just solve all of those issues immediately.

Finally, the Cape Town Crash are getting a stadium renovation! Being relatively new to Cape Town, the Crash have been using a local rugby stadium for our home games. Thanks to our GM @negs for collaborating with UGA athletics in order to begin the process of replicating Sanford Stadium right here in Cape Town! With a maximum capacity of 92,746 people, it'll be the perfect size for the ever growing Cape Town fan base (especially after we win another Ultimus this season). And no Sanford Stadium replica would be complete without the iconic Hedges. Using clippings straight from the Hedges in Athens, we'll begin the process of growing our own right here in Cape Town. Additionally, in order to combat high summer temperatures, we will be installing giant misting fans around the stadium grounds and atop the outer bowl of the stadium to blown cool refreshing air down on the fans below.

The Doghouse in Dallas, Texas is often overshadowed by Jerry World, home of the Dallas Cowboys. As a member of the DFSL, the funding and backing will never match what the Cowboys have and so the goal is not to compete with AT&T Stadium but rather provide a completely different experience. The renovations will be to turn the Doghouse into a stadium filled with dogs. A full-scale remodel that allows people to bring their dogs to the stadium. This would include redoing all stadium seating to include space for dogs next to spectators by spacing the seats out more and installing dog "sitting areas". Imagine a crowd full of cheering fans mixed with just as many dogs howling and barking! Talk about home-field advantage! In addition to different seating, other dog friendly items would need to be installed. Multiple dog parks would be created inside the stadium confines to allow dogs to play and interact throughout the game. These parks would have TVs installed to allow owners to continue to watch the game. This would truly be "The Doghouse".

Our team is thrilled to have the opportunity to enhance the stadium with this generous allocation of taxpayer funds. Our renovation plan aims to not only improve the overall fan experience but also to modernize the facilities for the athletes and teams who call this stadium home.
First and foremost, we intend to invest in the athletes' well-being by revamping the locker rooms. These spaces will receive a complete makeover, including upgraded showers, individualized lockers with cutting-edge ventilation and ergonomic designs, and recovery and treatment areas equipped with state-of-the-art technology to help athletes perform at their best.
For the fans, we have exciting plans to introduce new attractions. A fan zone will be created, complete with interactive exhibits, a sports museum, and a family-friendly play area. Additionally, we'll be installing high-definition LED screens throughout the stadium, ensuring that no fan misses a moment of the action. The exterior will indeed get a fresh coat of paint, not only to enhance aesthetics but also to incorporate sustainable materials and energy-efficient lighting.
In terms of sustainability, our plan includes the installation of solar panels on the stadium roof to reduce energy consumption and minimize our environmental footprint. We also plan to implement a comprehensive waste recycling program to promote eco-consciousness among fans.
This renovation project is a testament to our commitment to both the athletes and the community. We believe these improvements will not only elevate the stadium but also foster a sense of pride and excitement for everyone involved.

An exciting part of the season is speculating on what the owner paid for as part of the stadium renovations. The first thing that crash players noticed was that their locker room was enhanced, with the locker rooms built with purple and yellow LED lighting, but also a steel rhino put in the middle of the locker room to symbolize the team’s mascot. A new renovation has also increased the stadium’s capacity from 54,000 to 74,000, to allow more African ISFL fans to attend the game. Another renovation has added a roof to the stadium, to allow fans to stay cool and enjoy the heat of the action. The final part of the renovation will see the visitors locker be replaced by a large bathroom, in order to give the other team a feeling that they are back in their high school days. These renovations will ensure that Cape Town will continue to have a high-caliber stadium.

I think now is the perfect marketing opportunity for us to bring an American cuisine across the pond. We already have a player named A Waffle, so it only makes sense we partner with Waffle House and get one put into the stadium. I know the Mercedes-Benz stadium has one, so it's already a viable option. It would allow us to showcase not only one of our defensive anchors and market him, it would allow games to become another cultural exchange!
I do think they would need to add some things to the menu tho. The all-star is nice but it's essentially pure sugar and grease. Triceracop suggested something like an English breakfast, and I think a blend could be done between the two. We could even give out free Waffles every time he gets a sack! As someone who worked there during my college career to pick up a few dollars, their motto of "good food fast" would be perfect for concessions, and the draw of watching them cook alone could bring in tons of potential ticket buyers. This is obviously a purely sales-oriented definition, but I feel like I'm the DSFL we're already so focused on training that it would be nice to break the monotony between team stadiums, and recognize a legendary rookie!
