Stadium expansion progress report and info

[Shamoan]

per the dispatch with a few other comments:

Tomlinson said because work on the north end will be ongoing through 2013, fans will "have some obstacles for this season."

No gates along the north end of the stadium will be open this season. To mitigate that inconvenience, the university plans on opening all of the stadium's other gates three hours before kickoff. In the past, gates have opened two hours prior to game time.

Parking will not be affected.

Smart move opening the gates three hours early.

Yeah that's not going help much. Almost everyone tries to go in 45 minutes before the game. Guess ill plan on being there early.

My thoughts as well.

Exactly, for anyone that sits in the regular grandstand area (i.e. not in a Skybox or club level area) it would be ridiculous to get in your seat 3 hours before kickoff.

Yeah, they didn't do anything to solve the impending bottleneck. Oh well, maybe I'll go in an hour early just to save myself the hassle.

Maybe we'll just go in late just to be different.

They could extend it to 8 hours and it doesnt matter

I'm just hoping for a straight entrance line.

Last one. I promise.

Sure they did! The new design has fewer gates on the West Side and they're smaller. Gonna work out great!!!
