Good news is that we won't have to stare at concrete this season in the south end zone. This probably isn't the most exciting thing that could be featured in the south end zone, but it is something that will be good in the short term. I'm not sure how adding more replays will bring more people into the stands. I hardly pay attention to the replays to begin with unless I missed a play/it was outside of my line of view.
And last but not least, Burke does plan on adding lights with new Ross-Ade:
