And as I posted earlier, all of them are getting inspected and replaced/reinstalled in time for the home opener.

So no worries!


The only thing I will question about that is we looked at it after it broke, and you could tell the brackets had snapped before and it looked like they just welded them back together. Sat in the same section in 2010 and went and looked at the row again and it looked like they had just rewelded it again

They are taking out all of the seating in the east, north and west sections in order to treat the concrete. Then they are replacing or re-installing each seat. It's a $1.6 million project.

At Tiger Stadium, bleachers in the east, north and west sections of the lower bowl have deteriorated and will either be replaced or reinstalled depending on their condition, David said. The south section will not be treated because maintenance was done two years ago. The process starts with the removal of all bleachers in the aforementioned areas, David said. The concrete where the bleachers were removed will then be cleaned and waterproofed. David said waterproofing involves application of a topical coating to the concrete. The replacement or reinstallation of the bleachers will complete the project, making for sturdier seating on gamedays while protecting the concrete structure of the stadium for long-term use. These precautions will be complete before the first home game of the coming season on Sept. 6, David said. They will amount to $1.6 million.



The Daily Reveille

I'm sure it will look awesome before the home opener.

As of 2014, all visiting fans will be removed to the east and south upper decks...the same kind of seats we Tiger fans get when we travel to your stadiums. Just FYI.
