| Does anyone know about a Sanford Stadium expansion? Someone I know said they are expanding the stadium and it will be around 104,000 when they are finished. He said it is scheduled to be finished by the 2010 season i think. I couldn't find any article about it online though. | |

| I went to Commonwealth stadium and its the only away game I've been to and I was not impressed at all. The only nice part about football games there is that its a wet campus. You all have the most annoying first down chant I've ever heard or witnessed in my entire life. As an opposing fan it really put me out of my element. | |

They also don't take too kindly when you yell out "Fourth Down Ole Miss/South Carolina!"
There are some opposing chants that I don't mind, especially when you are at their place and the whole stadium does it. Gator Chomp, LSU's stop on a 3rd down "sway/dance", etc. The damn Cock call at South Carolina is annoying as can be though.

| Every team has its stupid things that annoy opposing fans. Ours happens to be our unofficial fight song. | |
