The rock M is iconic for Mizzou, it is Faurot field. Remove it and it takes away the only unique part of the Stadium. The only thing that identifies Faurot field from other similar stadiums. Put seats in it and it's now a glorified Texas high school stadium with zero differences than other bowl facilities.
What is stupid is Mizzou doesn't Market the uniqueness of the Hill and the Block M. It's ripe for exploitation. Jeez sale season passes for it and give them free T-shirts that match and other merch....make it a party type of area with a look the other way for booze and such on the hill. Grind up some of the rocks and sale it as fund raiser things.....
I mean if they want to keep the Rock M and put actually seating on either side of it that would be one thing, but to remove it would destroy really the only legit cool thing about the stadium.
