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.
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.

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.

quote:the top of a new south end zone structure would be higher than the east side of the stadium, and there would be a gap between the west sky boxes and the new sez addition. it's probably feasible, but that would be ugly. bhg isn't very aesthetically pleasing to begin with, but that would make it even uglier.

The bottom decks at Kyle were built in the late '20s and BHG was originally built in 1930
But still modern in every respect.
