With that level of detail, no article is needed. Informative, detailed, and none of that fuzzy gray area reporters like to pass off as journalism these days.

We sure are lucky to have Prowler. So much inside info and he provides what he is able in a very accurate and descriptive manner.

Following up on this, we may also build an underground tunnel system to enable fans to move from one side to the other via a rail system. It may have strippers and an open bar.

Also, we could possibly join the ACC.

Stay tuned folks!

Impossible. There's a fast-running stream that runs directly under the stadium.

Ugh...so they're just hanging another section of bleacher seats?

And possibly a dugout like the one in Starkvegas!  I didn't know Golloway got kicked out of Plainsman Park already?

So because we are adding seats we are going to a grey field?

Enjoy the new jumbotron this year boys. Once this expansion goes in, you'll be keeping score on toes and fingers.

I don't like the idea of shrinking Haley Center down and moving it so close to the stadium either.

Our home unis are going to contrast sharply with that gray grass - at least I hope it's grass and not concrete.

Fo realz.  And it appears they're taking out the ramps on the corners.  Huge elevators?


Okay, not a fan of this or the biggest scoreboard on the planet. I can see upgrading the current board and more importantly, replacing the Shug Jordan era scoreboard.  But I have a feeling what they're planning is going to look like we're compensating for something.  As for more seats....why?  87,000 plus is not enough?  We don't fill it up for OOC games anyway.  Use that kind of $$$ to make the current stadium more fan friendly. Tons of stuff they could do there like making upgrades and expanding bathrooms, especially for the women so taking a leak doesn't cost them 2/5ths or 38.5% of the game.

And get me my own gate.  I thought that was already in the works.

You obviously didn't study the blueprints very well. There will BE no more gates.

They're also looking to replace the aluminum seats and adding chair back seats.

Throughout the stadium?  Cuz I'd double my contribution for that...keep the fat asses in they own seat.

Agree with others that other improvements should be made before seats are added:  redo the facade, improve the concourse, improve the bathrooms...etc

You are clearly hanging with the wrong crowd.  Have you met my friends, Lurking Tiger and Saniflush?

Yup, that's why the new addition could reach $120M or more, if they decide to add the chair back seating. Of course, for us big boned type it might be a bit uncomfortable.

IMO, they should concentrate on the facade, concessions and sound system more than adding to the endzone. If they have $70M laying around after the cost for those additions/renovations, then yeah make the addition.

Hopefully, they'll have enough carryover in the budget to paint lines on the new grey field too. Gonna be hard enough following along without a scoreboard.
