I have to admit I'm surprised that they are keeping the shell of the building, but I believe they will do something to make it look and feel unique and retro while still having all the modern conveniences players expect. The locker rooms will be outstanding I bet.

It will not be able to hold the 40,000+ fans clamoring for tix to see the Cats as they make their way through a perfect conference season and get a #1 seed in the Big Dance.

They will just have to play in Ryan Field, once the dome is completed.

I like the planned capacity. There's no guarantee we can fill anything bigger and conference home games will be even more of a nightmare if we're not drawing fans...

I like the planned capacity. .

I missed it....what is the "planned capacity"?

Teddy Greenstein said a "NU source" pegged the new capacity at 7,500.

Thanks. This is great news. Hopefully it will be filled with students and NU season ticket holders dressed in Purple like the mock-up. Only around 600 people less than current capacity.
