They want to start in January of 2015 but it will depend on how much we raise between now and then.

30 suites will be added to the SEZ underneath the club level

The NEZ will have an on the field club level beneath the newly bowled endzone.

Hall of Fame is going in the Starnes building

Above is "phase 1" and phase 2 is to bring the East and West sides up to the standards of the SEZ. The only specifics he mentioned was adding another level above the pressbox for more suites, but says they talk every day about what they can do to both sides to improve them.

Do you have the quote from him about why they are building the arena so close to VHS? I read it earlier and it sounded like meaningless bullshite.

Is then a later date or is this from an older write up?

I think the stadium looks pretty good from the inside now, minus the asymmetry on the east and west sides, but that's partially my OCD.

I'm not sure what the facade looks like on all sides but just putting brick on the outside of DWS did wonders for the aesthetics of the stadium, so something similar, if not already in place, would look great.

I think it was OB that said something about the concourse in the SEZ, which I also hate to see go because I thought it was a pretty cool area.

The only thing that really bugs me, and I've heard other OM fans say the same so I'm not trying to be overly critical here, is the underneath portion of the West? side. If they could somehow dig it out, level it off, and pour some concrete it would be really awesome.

ETA: on the stadium work. I think it will be pretty awesome when it's finished.

I am pretty disappointed in the direction of VHS. The very first plans looked amazing and now we are just going to half arse this expansion. The stadium really needs some cosmetic work on the east and west sides. There are completely different looks on each side of the stadium.

I just want to know if they are going to put some bathrooms in the damn place. The bathroom situation at VH has to be as bad as it could be. I think that dump in Bham had more bathrooms.
