Wyatt just said on Head to Head

[JackieMoon]

that the stadium expansion press conference tomorrow will announce west side renovations will be included in this first phase. Not added seats on west side, but exterior as well as inside areas. This will be new to the plans for phase one.

Said construction starts asap, no seats effected in north endzone this year but will in 2013.

Also said that this, plus the Seal Complex, means over $100 million dollars in football facility improvements.

 

[BigMotherTucker]

What to expect tomorrow:
1. Announcing the bid winner
2. Announcing that construction will start ASAP
3. Announcing that construction will be prioritized so that bowl seating will be ready for next season while guts of the expansion will not.
4. Announcing that west side improvements will be involved in this phase.

Construction will start ASAP, like as in next week not after Arkansas

So, I seriously doubt we will twiddle our thumbs until the Arkansas game. I think we will see a lot of construction going on this season.

I don't see a ramp on the Seal Bldg were the teams come out. Are the locker rooms being moved to the opposite end?

 

[Dubs.sixpack]

Nothing takes the drama out of an opposing teams entrance like watching 300 lb lineman tip toe down the steps.

 

[shotgunDawg]

Home locker room will stay where it is and visitors locker room will be moved to the north end zone.

 

[CadaverDawg]

What makes you think it will look like that instead of the one Strickland tweeted? I hope you're right, bc the top one looks far better.

 

[engie]

will likely be done in phase 2. I expect phase1 to look alot like Stricklin's tweet picture...



May even be hearing soon what their early plans are for phase 2... It's rumored that IF they sell out the new premium seating and get another waiting list, they may start looking to renovate the middle section on the west side into suites, while building a new pressbox/more suites up top...



This is the initial 20-25 yr master plan...
