Smart.
And when we gotta add more space, count me in on helping fund that.
Questions...When will they start on the east side? Do they have the funding? And are there any renderings of it?Quote:

Havent heard of any renderings but, from what I heard they should start East Side after the 2025 season.Quote:

Will the East side be a complete gutting like the West side?
Im not sure about that, but i heard it will be 2-3 levels.Quote:

I believe so. I think it will mirror the west side. Just have different interior layout.Quote:

That would look slick.Quote:

I had actually emailed Scott Hebert about this* a month or so ago and here is his reply:Quote:

*I had specifically asked about the timeline for the east tower, not necessarily re-doing the lower bowl….but I am pretty sure they plan on doing it all at one time.
I also have no idea what a CMAR is, lol
"CMAR stands for Construction Manager at Risk, a project delivery method that involves a construction manager (CM) who agrees to complete a project within a guaranteed maximum price (GMP)"Quote:

So they are for sure gutting and redoing the lower bowl as well?
For row spacing purposes they probably have to.Quote:
