Does anyone have a link to the proposed changes? I remember there being some luxury boxes and a concourse. I mentioned the plans to a friend a couple weeks back and wanted to show him the artist’s renderings.

that is the last rendering I have seen, but this one is fairly old, they might have changed some things

I guess they would move the jumbotron to above the NEZ then?

No, the bigass TV is set back far enough and high enough to accomodate the proposed SEZ changes. Basically it’s in its final spot

Thanks sweetgrass! Do we know if that’s the plan the BOT is voting on next week? I remember seeing one a year or so ago that had a large open-air/uncovered concourse with restaurants. It may have just been one of a few possible renovations though. IIRC, it was sent to CC members with some sort of survey.

I’ve seen the most recent one (I had to promise not to post it online).  The center section has red seats–not bleachers.  There is a cut-out at the top in the middle to accomodate the scoreboard.  Half way up there is a rooftop terrace and there are also several ledge seats and club seats (kind of like RSL). The corners are all bleacher seats–like in your picture.

That sounds like the one I’m thinking of. The rendering I saw was a thing of beauty. I know where I’m going to try and get season tickets if that’s what they go with. 🙂

can you email it to ummmm your new friends?  😀

Based on the descriptions provided above, the new SEZ will look exactly like this:

What will this bring the stadium capacity up to?
