As UPenn moves eastward, Penn Basketball, already oh-so fan friendly, adds the element that could make the Palestra turn into one of the best venues ever (and maybe even add some decibels at Penn football games): tailgating
(http://media.www.dailypennsylvanian.com/media/storage/paper882/news/2007/10/19/News/Looking.Ahead.An.Overview.Of.The.Upcoming.University.Expansion-3044163.shtml). The proposed Franklin Field Pavilion and Palestra Green would give fans a place to gather for barbecues and booze before watching their beloved Quakers go out of character to fight an opponent. It's an essential element of schools like Maryland and Texas, so why not give us a chance to not have a chance to walk it off on our way to the game? The crowds will be rowdier, and it will definitely make the atmosphere much more intimidating for visitors. So kudos to you, Penn architect David Hollenberg, for making this possible.
