Think about a spring game with over 100,000 in the stands..........

I know this has been mentioned many times, but with it's closeness to the graveyard and Bryant Drive, is it going to be able to have anything like that in the sketch? I think it does look great, but I think if that brick face is put in there, there is going to be very little space from the stadium to Bryant Drive. Not necessarily little space, but on gameday, it would be crammed on that side.

I guess some folks are just not going to believe it's possible until they see it built. LOL

There is PLENTY of room between the current south endzone and Bryant drive. Think about how far the ramps come out from the stadium - This structure probably lines up with the outside edges of those ramps.

Or just beyond them, which leaves plenty of room

According to plans, eleven feet, to be exact.

I looked but didn't see an update - was the stadium expansion put on the BOT meeting agenda for their meeting in February?

Just wondering where the issue sits now....

i vote that the east and west sides of the stadium (outside parts) are next in line for a facelift.. they are HORRENDOUSLY UGLY!... they remind me of the braves old stadium.. like all the old circular "cookie cutter" baseball stadiums that went up in the 70's and 80's

I agree. I wish we could have a brick facade on the East and West sides...something like Florida State has with their stadium.

Patience y'all, we can only focus on one expansion project at a time

Bah patience my butt! :biggrin: We just need to raise money to create a Bryant Denny renovating laser gun or some other such nonsense. Problem solved.
