We have no reason to do it any time soon, but completing a horseshoe bowl will increase the value of our current crappiest seats by making new crappiest seats.

I'm down with whatever gets rid of that terrible Kyle Field-esque section of God-awful seats that extends well beyond the back of the north end zone.

The club level on the west side is already higher than the east side's. I think a SEZ addition would make our stadium look really piecemeal/thrown together.

Not a fan.

While it's probably too expensive, I'd like them to totally redo the east side then to match (to a degree) the WSC. Something the looks pretty similar both internally and externally but instead of having a press level and (maybe) 2 levels of suites knock it down to 1 level of suits, put some cheap seats that would only be like 20 rows that gets to the height of the WSC. Then maybe we can get some continuity when the SEZ work is done. But probably just a dream and they'll try to make it work probably some other way.

I have always thought it was weird that they let the club seats/overhang on the east side block the view of the field from the concourse.

The fact that currie just spent 3m on the bathrooms of the east side tells me it is here to stay.

3 million is nothing, see row house

Yeah, it'll be interesting how they figure it out. Does anyone remember how much Vanier's upgrades cost? I mean eventually that whole thing will be redone, so I guess it would be possible to potentially redo the east side (cause I bet it was a bit more than the bathrooms), but yeah, having thrown money at it with the bathrooms it'll probably be some work around. At any rate, I would at least want the east side to have as good a view to look at as the west side.

Man. When we got that upper deck, like, a decade and a half ago? I thought it was so goddamn elite and bigtimey. "Welcome to the Big Boys' Table, Cats" is what I said to myself.

so Northern Upper deck/clubseating, redoing the final sections on the Eastern upper deck to angle them in, redoing the NEZ seating while angling in the last section of the student section.

So, who's going to be the first goEMAWER to take pics of the new light standard on the EAST side that are going up?!

Unconfirmed.  This is why we need a goEMAW townie, of which there are many, to go provide us a construction field report.

I'm sorry, but in this configuration, I don't understand why we don't just have one nice video board in the NEZ that everyone can enjoy.

According to this configuration, the NEZ video board is completed before this phase and spans the entire width of the field.

I asked Sean Snyder the other day if those little sets of lights on the west side ends are all they're going to have. They're two rows high, and there's nothing in the center. He said they're real high-efficiency, and all that's needed. I guess it will be a similar deal on the east side.

real high-efficiency!  :love:

Musco lighting's selling point has always been better lighting and using fewer fixtures to do it.
