New press box

Are there any renditions of what the new press box on the west side will look like? Seems like that will be a major project to build the infrastructure for it. I guess it will have to be built above the concession area. Hopefully it won't be a duck blind like when the baseball stadium had to have a temporary one built.

No, it shouldn't be like the old baseball pressbox. There will be offices and other facilities tied into the structure. I seriously doubt the existing structure will stay

Edit: if you're talking about the temporary pressbox for next year not sure

You mean press box on the east side? Nothing has been released yet.

The press box is moving to the East side of the stadium. Along with other projects for the athletic department if I recall correctly.

It will be on the east side. A temporary press box will be used until phase 2 of the renovation on the east side takes place.

Temp pressbox is being designed by a firm from Gueydan.

Got to bring in the experts

Correction: Yes, moving to the east "student" side. I was listening to Dave Schultz and he was talking about the press box being moved and he said " I know I'll screw this up....It's moving to the WEST side". Well, he did screw it up lol and fooled me. I should know that after all the years sitting in the hot sun setting over the west side on those grueling hot day games. Anyway, would like to see some rendition's of Phase 2 if anyone has. Did not even know there was a phase 2.

I swear, every year me and my students wonder aloud "why aren't we the Ducks?" during football season.

The east side is in the sun as the sun sets in the west. The west side is blocked from the sun by the stadium. So the sun will be in the face of the new press box, but not the luxury suites on the west side.

Not with no Duck Blind Special Press Box.

Those Oregon Ducks would be easy pickins.

Michigan stealing signals would seem 1st grade next to a "pressbox is designed by a firm from Gueydan."

Is the East a total teardown as well? If so, is it possible to move the benchbacks from the west side to the east for next season?

A Cajun duck blind east side press box sounds appropriate. They may like adding sun blocking camouflage. And Cajun duck blinds can be tricked out, too.

I’m certainly not “in the know” but pretty sure I’ve heard it’s also a total rebuild. This way the entire stadium not only looks uniform but also meets updated (ADA) requirements.

I am curious how the lighting will be handled during the renovations. I asked that question in an older thread but haven’t seen or heard any responses.
