You telling me you couldn't close that north endzone in, or add the middle tier to the south endzone?

If Florida really needed the extra seats, they could add them.
you could probably add a middle tier to the south endzone but that would look really weird, given that it would be higher than the rest of the stadium. there would be a big gap between it and the west side sky boxes as well. they might be able to do something with the north side. you could probably add another tier to make it the same height as the west sky boxes but that would also look weird, especially if there was a south end zone expansion with the aforementioned gap. that area in the photo where construction is taking place has since been filled in:

This picture of Tiger Stadium was posted earlier in the thread...



...now compare how close the south end of TS is to Stadium Drive in that pic to BHG...



...and tell me that UF couldn't build a similar structure to LSU's SEZ addition. The SEZ addition at LSU was designed the way it is to avoid having to do roadwork. It's also a free-standing, completely self-supporting building.

The South End Zone Addition will include approximately 60 suites, 3,000 club seats as well as about 1,500 general public seats above the current south end zone bowl.


At LSU, Tiger Den suites are standardized at 43 seats per. So a structure exactly like the SEZ addition would add 7080 seats to BHG's capacity.

That kind of addition would bring BHG's total capacity up to 95,000. More importantly it would add a great deal of premium seating.
