Looks like they are trying to make it harder for students to rush the field…

It will look better on TV with the students in the end zone but not good for seeing the Jumbotron.

Is there an estimate for the net new stadium capacity? MBob hinted awhile back it would increase, but didn’t have a specific number

From yourrossade.com

“Once the first phase of the renovation is completed, total capacity will increase by approximately 4,500 to bring Ross-Ade Stadium's capacity to 65,000.”

Color me unimpressed. You take the students from behind the opposing team bench and stick them and the band in the gulag of the SEZ? Ugh. And beer sales have produced what, a couple of million since inception? I'll wager a lot of that was from the beer tent they had set up down there, it was always packed (which also helped relieve crowding in the stadium seats).

students will stretch from the 30 yard line behind the visiting team into the SEZ.

The beer tent, while and eye sore on TV, was an extremely fun experience. Imagine an outdoor bar with a big time college football going on live a few yards away. I was hoping they would keep the concept and improve the look.

So that's why I need new seats!

I think this whole thing is underwhelming.

It’s a lot of work and moving things around, but I don’t see much benefit.

@njm8845 - It was in the press release.

Scroll down to "South End Zone Addition" and click the right arrow once. The bleachers are shaded gold where the new student section will be located.

The students will take up about the same amount of the east side, plus the entire south end zone.

I miss the days of the 10,000 Pork sandwiches. Of course, during many of the Fred Akers and Jim Colletto days, that's pretty much all you had to look forward to.....
