Auburn's Board of Trustees will also review a proposal to engage an architect and construction management firm to review additional stadium improvements that would be begin as soon as December, following the review of a feasibility study that will conclude this spring, and run as part of a three-part process following the 2015, 2016 and 2017 football seasons.

According to a December report by the Sports Business Journal, the feasibility study being conducted by JMI Sports, the consulting group Auburn hired in May 2013, is examining a massive expansion project of the north and south end zones that would likely exceed $100 million.

Initial plans call for "developing new club seats supported by indoor hospitality areas behind the end zones," and call for the relocation of Auburn's locker room to the north end, according to SBJ. Auburn would create a premium club on the north end with a wider concourse and bigger, padded seats and better food and beverage options, JMI chief executive Erik Judson told SBJ.

Most people have said that it will stay the same, and then the players will walk through the stadium to get to the home locker room. That makes sense because the Tiger Walk plaza is really nice. Would hate for it to get bypassed or be in a position as to no longer be used.

It sounds like we're taking a path to convert Jordan-Hare into a stadium that more resembles an NFL stadium.

Large video scoreboard
Premium luxury seating
Expansive concourse-like spaces near the endzones

I personally like it. It's common with contemporary stadiums. Look at Baylor's new stadium as an example. It can be a selling point for recruits too.
