I read in the weekly update from Stricklin that demolition to the West side ground level will begin shortly after the Arkansas game. They've made it abundantly clear as to what will be going up on the North side of the stadium, but I'm still not quite sure what is happening on the West side. I seem to remember reading a vague paragraph about concession expansion and "facility updates", but nothing real specific. Any of you guys have a better idea of what will be happening to the West side?

Like you, it's vague to me as well. I'm pretty sure I read something about new restrooms and the addition of another elevator.

It's going to be totally different...

No longer will you simply walk up a slope into the stadium from the north and south approaches. There will be "grand staircases" that lead up into the stadium. As well, the grade at which everything is built underneath will be consistent. Everything will feel flat and level. Not so piecemeal, as it does now. I didn't spend much time looking at the concourse ramps leading up into the stadium, but I've taken close looks at the existing layout this season and they're going to be affected in some manner.

I'll try to find some pdf files I have somewhere that show the layouts of everything. It's going to be absolutely first class.

Isn't the goal of this round of construction to get the lower level of the bowl completed for next season?

The west side renovation includes a rebuilt concourse under the west stands, the addition of four high-capacity elevators, an increase in restroom and concession point of sale facilities, and a brick facade that matches the new construction on the north. Fans will see the number of elevators at Davis Wade Stadium more than double (from five to 12), the restroom fixture total nearly double (from 313 to 621), and permanent concession point of sale positions increase by over 40 percent (from 110 to 156).

If the they would just grind that bump down on the section B/C ramp that would be awesome. That thing gives drunks and old farts fits.
