Dressing up the exterior / adding amenities to the East Side is low on my priority list.
1. Finish the NE corner
2. Remove the rest of the track
3. Revamp the SEZ
4. Add hotel/casino
...
37. Give the East Side new bathrooms and facade.

i actually agree. the east side can just sit there and shut up for the next 15 years. they got their bathroom on stilts. they're good for now.

Oh.  Well you said ALL bathrooms. So I assumed you meant upper deck also. At any rate I think they wait to do East side until they're able to totally start over like the WSC.

I would love to see that, but is it possible to tear down east side and rebuild new in 9 months?  That upper deck area seats around 15k?  WSC had less to demo, and they could build around the structure they were replacing prior to demo.
No idea if it's possible. But they should make it possible.

From the looks of the NEZ, it looks like putting in new seats is pretty pud, so they could do a new upper deck easy.  Also, there's no way there's 15k seats up there.

You don't think the upper east side (including club level) is 27% of the entire seating in BSFS?

Adding the east side was like a 10k expansion

True, but there are another 3,000 or so seats in the east club/suite areas. Those fans already had restrooms before phase I.

There's maybe 1k club level seats and less than that in the 1 level of suites.  In any case, I don't think we'll demolish the east side and redo it.

I bet that mentioned party deck on the south endzone would be included as part of a concourse overhaul and facade improvement of Bramlage, similar to the EZ at Clemson and the renovation of the Pit at New Mexico.

Clemson EZ:


The Pit (old): (looks worse than Bramlage Exterior)


The Pit (new) with new raised ceiling, ring of suites and exterior:



(But imagine the Clemson football suites on one end, obviously, and made with a more traditionally-designed limestone finish)

Doing this at once, since its the same building, only makes logistical sense.

are you talking about the LL east side seats that extend past the back of the endzone?  If so, it looks to me that they will be shortened back to the same endpoint as the west side LL seats and then fit the same way as the NW corner.

I've grown totally accustomed to bring filthy rich.Like, I don't even remember what it was like to have folding chairs in the NEZ. How did we live like that? Oh well just glad those times are over forever
