Dear North End Zone Ticket Holder,
As a ticket holder in the north end zone of Jordan-Hare Stadium, you will soon be receiving information regarding potential renovations to the area. The Athletics Department is compiling survey information that will be instrumental in determining the feasibility of this project.
In addition to the survey, we invite you to give us your thoughts about possible renovations. No decisions have been made, and your input will be valuable as we determine if we should move forward.
The survey should hit your email in the next week, and it will include renderings of the potential finished product. Please see how your seats are impacted by these possible renovations. The survey will help us understand whether you have interest in upgrading to premium club areas or in moving to another location.
We fully understand that a possible change to your seat locations may affect your gameday experience, and that’s why we’re seeking your input. Please know that we will work to make any transition as smooth as possible and assist you with seat selections and all available options.
Your seats will not be affected for the 2016 season, but if the project moves forward, they may be impacted as soon as 2017. Please be advised that all these renderings and plans are preliminary and will only come to fruition if there is considerable interest in this renovation by the Auburn Family.
If you have any additional questions or feedback throughout the renovation process, you can contact us at JHSrenovation@auburn.edu or 855-282-2010.

I know, hok is doing the designs. However this is the first I've heard directly from auburn about it in regards to my current seats. They have been moving toward the premium seating in the north endzone by upping the scholarship seats in the the past two years.

This is Jacobs holding a shiney object in front of the north endzone seat holders to distract from the shite on the field. Same way that a-hole did in the south endzone with the mega TV.

Actually he is telling folks in the North Endzone, enjoy your seats in 2016, but you are about to be moved to the upper deck UNLESS you are willing to pony up more money to keep seats in the endzone.

ETA: At the last board meeting, new drainage and building concrete footings for the construction cranes were approved (around 1.5 million)

Is this really a project that can get completed in 9 months, or are we going to end up with one football season with reduced seating capacity because the whole north bowl is under construction?

It will be a staged project.

You think Auburn would miss out on charging people money?

Correct, but there will be openings on the south endzone, corners, and sideline endzones. For the past two years they have been slowly filling this area with scholarship donors and higher regular seat donors. All these people will be moved to either new endzone Reno or vacancies from the current real scholarships seats, if they decide to move.

My uncle is a senior vp at hok in NYC, he hasn't told me they are a complete go yet for 2017

One of my vendors is one of the main construction equipment supplier for auburn and he hasn't recieved any confirmation either.

It's happening, the date is just not confirmed yet.
