I saw that it was three years old. ND's stadium plans were laid out & avail in Jan '14 ... well before this article was written.
Maybe they're treating it as an expansion of academic buildings, which is what most of the use of the expansion is going to. They're adding luxury boxes, but the seating capacity of the stadium is otherwise going to stay the same.
It was (is) a massive makeover to the stadium that cost $400 mil.
It will be a lot louder. They just need something to cheer about.It was (is) a massive makeover to the stadium that cost $400 mil.
Looks way different. Just glad we finally got a friggen jumbotron. And it doesn't effect TD Jesus view.
That's a cold shot.Gotta love the Sports Pickle....hehe:
I used to hate looking down at that track. So glad they got rid of it.Story for Husky Stadium said something about there being nothing in the east end zone except a scoreboard and nothing else prior to this. Weird they would mention that specifically.
It would be accurate to say in terms of a permanent structure, but there were seats there for decades before this latest reno. They were removable bleachers because they covered part of the track and were only used for football.
Not only did they add permanent seating there, but they have ground level suites that give a unique game experience.
Major change for sure, but to say there was nothing but a scoreboard there just seemed odd.
The stadium not only didn't add more seats, but lost a little overall. Like nearly 2,500 seats lost. Each seat, along with the luxury additions improve the overall experience a shitload though. With the track gone and every seat being closer there really aren't any bad seats.

Half of the "most" expensive renovations were in the south.
And they probably got more for their money. Labor in the south is cheaper than in the north.
Rain. If you ever lived in the Seattle area you'd know it rains a lot there.
Seattle had a dome once ... Kingdome and after that fubar I don't see domes there in the near future.
Unfortunately in the mid 2k's when the team sucked that view was about all we had on game day.
Husky Stadium added the cantilevered roof as a rain cover. It was only over one side originally. They didn't add the second deck/roof until the mid 80's.
