And thanks to you all for getting me thinking of the latter, it's now firmly ear-wormed in my head. When construction closes the stadium on its open end, it should be a lot louder on the field, and will add to the home field advantage. Carter-Finley's noise level really picked up when the north end zone project was completed, and it's reasonable to expect the same at BKS.

I've been in the Chancellor's Box in the offseason (It was the John Bunting era, anyone could just walk into the stadium and take the elevator). The view is fantastic up there. Another issue is that I don't see where 16-20 luxury boxes would fit in the Kenan Football Center configuration. Good point, PRGuy.

I think the difference is that luxury suites would be rented by companies and individuals, just like at the RBC Center.

Speaking of "enlighten", that's another big terminology from the late 60's. Glad I could enlighten you too. Speaking of “enlighten”, that’s another big terminology from the late 60′s.

Until today I was never aware it was recorded by anyone other than the Four Seasons. Even guys from the class of '67 learn something new every day.

I wonder why it never became a big hit for the Four Seasons? Of course, it sounds nothing like Sherri Baby, Walk Like a man, or Rag Doll.
