    Are there structural issues with the current lower bowl? I have no engineering experience whatsoever but it just seems like the perfect blank canvas to build whatever you want on top of it.

    Whatever code problems there are, they are limited to the home side structure.

    If there is a need to tear down the entire home side structure, I'll bet you'll see a similar end zone project done in the North end zone and the home side season tickets moved there and to the visitor side until construction is complete.
    Hoping they keep the grass, it really encourages fans with children to attend/stay. I think in today’s climate where the game is secondary to the experience, the grass is a good way to attract those types of people.

    With a structure built 45+ years ago, that's a pretty low number in today's dollars, right?

    They are not limited to the home side by any stretch.

    No one is showing up because of a grass hill. Build a kids park and make it even better. Not to mention safer.

    OK. So, we built the South end zone project, knowing we had these Code issues?

    I know the SEZ project was extremly close to triggering us to have to get everything up to code

    Before anyone else does, I'll ask another question: who was the AD in charge of that project?

    Yes why the project HAD to be kept under a certain amount and why we have temporary concessions on that side

    I can tell you I did and so did many of my friends and family. Love the grass hill!

    So why not go during non football times and have the hill to yourself? Not to mention free. Don't need a pesky game getting in the way of hill sliding. 😁

    If this was a thing, we would have done it. In hindsight I’m just glad none of my kids got hurt or hurt anyone else. They did ____ off plenty of people over the years.
