    It won't do any harm for any people that know Adam well, - to suggest to him about doing a gig and rebranding the stadium.

    Within the new stand there could be a stand-alone Calvin Harris experience as a unique visitor centre, perhaps complete with a 3D or IMAX screen allowing people to feel as though were at his concerts?

    That would bring people to Dumfries and would be a great way of giving something (that no-one else can) to his home town.

    Let's be honest, Adam could create an amazing visitor experience in Las Vegas, New York or LA, - but wouldn't it be great to have it here in Dumfries, - where it would hold so much more kudos?

    It would be incredible to see report cards (which might say) "Adam will achieve nothing in this world if he does not work harder" or perhaps in music, "Adam appears to be disinterested in the subject"

    Too many famous people create hotels and the like far away from their home towns, in cities which don't need any more riches, - where something as simple as a decent Calvin Harris visitor centre could turn the economy of Dumfries literally on hits head.

    I wonder if anyone locally is still in touch with Calvin/Adam? Perhaps we can pester his family that still reside in the area and ask them to inform him of our ideas. I know jardi has contacted Rabbie Burns himself, but husnie had Reply yet!

    His parents no longer live in Dumfries but his best mate does and runs the Queen of the South Bar . He’s also a Queens fan

    I'm sure he mentions his Scottishness to his American colleagues and is proud of his past heritage. Perhaps if we all write to him asking him to consider helping with funding, he might donate to help build Queens new grandstand. I know he owes us nothing, but sometimes if an idea is planted the fruit sometimes grow.

    How about a concert being held at Palmerston to raise the funds needed for the new stand? I'm sure he would do that for free. Has anyone who knows him ever put this question to him in the past?

    The Calvin Harris Stadium would be a fine outcome!
    A good idea which he might consider but would not like to see an Elton John scenario and neither would Adam...
