They had a shot of the announcers in the press-box. Really bush league stuff and they kind of said that too. Nice renovation of a crap facility.

West side press box needs to be torn down. I'm sure we can salvage some of the new additions to the place, but the whole West side needs $50M in upgrades.


Agreed. But can we make it match in some fashion the East side, and when they bowl the NEZ, make it match the SEZ? 4 different facades in the stadium looks shitty and little league.

I agree with whoever said to fix the East side concourse. That is a cluster on game day. We need to have better gating into the stadium and a better concourse inside of it. I mean-the hurricane fencing looks awesome. It really adds to the game day experience.

I hope the basketball seating isn't as steep as SMU arena is. Feels like you are climbing a mountain.

Already bought tickets to the opener and to the Pavilion opener, which just so happened to be on my birthday.

Not that I really pay much attention to Basketball, but I like how Vandy has the seats go all the way up to the court and even below.

Man it literally is going to feel like the people are on top of you if playing in the Pavilion.

I have been saying for the longest I'd just like to see some of that football stadium money going into dressing up the stadium. West side looks like 1970/early 80s.

I think they will have removable seating below the walls that take it lower down to the court for games.

Look at the rendering. It shows this to be true.

The "Courtside Club" and the student seating is not in yet.

So, the plan was to start the VHS renovation work after the last home game. Does anyone know if this is still true?

They said their going to start getting set up before the LSU game so I imagine that's probably what their gong to do.

It would be nice if they were a little more open with plans and things. They just kind of build stuff and we see some out of focus cam every once and a while.

Bjork said they'll be tearing down those got damn bleachers as soon as the clock hits 00:00. I hope everyone makes it out of the stadium safely...

Isn't there a leg room comparison image somewhere?

Because that was my main complaint with the tad pad. Get cramps trying to sit in those zero lot style seats.

When I first saw the camera, I thought the same thing. Why aren't the seats going all the way down to the court?

If they do go all the way down to the court like in the rendering it looks like it isn't going to have any flaws at all. The arena is really starting to get to a place that you can see the finish line. I'm sure y'all are absolutely pumped about this, and it looks damn good.

I cannot wait for the Pavilion opening and I REALLY cannot wait until those bleachers in the North Endzone come down.
