Ole Miss amends stadium expansion costs....

i improve of this

Did they not disclose why they are requesting for a larger budget?

So we will be adding almost 10k to our stadium capacity? What's our new capacity total going to be?

2014: 60,580
2015: 58,580
2016: 64,038

What does it all mean???

It just means that it's a normal project.

Sounds pretty good to me.

Is there any plans for expanding after the current one? Wouldn't hurt to get to 70k.

I'm not sure how they'd do it unless they tore down the press box and added an upper deck with the press box built into the upper deck, kind of like this old picture of Bryant-Denny Stadium:

We're obviously putting asses in the seats

With not building the final few rows of the North endzone it leaves room to be able to match the top part of the south endzone after it's renovated this year assuming they decided to tear down those 2 buildings that are under the North endzone

North endzone when finished:



South endzone after this year:

I don't really know how many more spectators evening out the rows in the south endzone would add?

It's removes some of our seating capacity this season

I'd just like the next project to be revolved around making the entire exterior appear as one building and not three or four separate renovations.

I wonder if we will build VHS up to The Pavilion one day. Kinda like Vandy has with their baseball stadium.
