Are those added field level suites?
Also, it would be so nice if we could put 1964 national Champs somewhere in the stadium permanently. We had it for a few years, then we covered it in bushes, now the bushes are gone and it's just nothing
Are we the only stadium in the world that doesn't brag about national and conference championships? Let's celebrate the few we have

I like the corners that connect the sides better, but the upper level I do not like better it looks like they replaced all the glass up there with garage doors? The frick?
That whole upper level looks terrible now imo.

Yeah not a fan of that change either. It's like putting the old facade of the Broyles Center back into the stadium.

Yeah, I'm not sure. They removed the glass that exists on both sides where the luxury boxes on both sides, too. They might have just had a problem illustrating "glass" in this one.
The biggest change I see is some dark gray on the NW tower, which I don't think is an improvement.

Field level in the end zone.
Worst seat in the house.

Just a thought. It could be that the changes to the NW corner are for good reasons.
1. Not having to have a large "drip" area for a useless overhang.
2. Changing the area to be stronger structurally, planning ahead for future installation of seating, similar to how the SEZ rooftop was built to be weight-bearing. That's how they were able to put those bleachers up there for all those years and that's why they can mount a giant, heavy new TV up there with little issues. If the SEZ had just been built 16 years ago with a "standard" or decorative "roof", it would have required major structural engineering to install seating or a giant TV up there now.

Still (and never will) don't like the NE open corner. I know...tradition, blah blah. It looks terrible.

I think it looks cool.

I don't mind the "window" view. But I wish they'd still enclose it in glass or something, just to help retain more sound.
