What was the cost of the SEZ project? I seem to recall about $2.5M. Would it cost about the same for a similar NEZ project? What would it cost to extend the look of the concessions & restrooms to behind the east side of the stadium and give the stadium a nice symmetrical look? Do that as we tear down the upper deck and press box. We will need that seating once the upper deck is removed and will give us a bowled stadium instead of the unfinished and unappealing look we have now.
Just my opinion, but I believe we already have adequate seating to accommodate fans while upper deck gets demolished. Should still be over 30,000 without adding more at this time. Do agree it would be a good add if we get to the point of CONSISTENTLY filling the stadium.
Hope to be able to listen in Thursday on BEV since this should be a topic.
Wouldn't the pressbox have to be part of the upper deck reconstruction? So is just re-building the pressbox an option when you plan on tearing the upper deck down?
How about doing the upper deck in phases?
Phase 1 between the35 yard lines to include much of the press box.
Phase 2/3 from the 35s to the north/south endzones, with additional press box area and suites.
And suites on the east side. Assuming they are condtioned, the elements shouldn't be an issue.
It's nice to be talking about renovations and what we need and don't need. The bigger question at this time is, "how much money is currently available for use on this project"? Until that is known, we have no idea what is possible or not possible.
If we are not putting an upper deck then the picture with the overhang and canopy is the way to go. Do what Houston Cajun talked about and bowl it in.
