There's a good bit of buzz on the Bunker about it, sometime in the next few years.
Cliffs:
- north endzone first: box and club seats
- new video board
- south endzone closed in later
- both phases will bring capacity up 15,000 seats
- new locker room on the north side of the stadium
- visitors moved to our locker room
- construction companies are making bids now
- completion of both is expected to be around 2020
- another "student wellness" building in the works
UPDATE 10/23:
- 2016 date for north endzone boxes
- Lowder was brought back for fundraising
- official announcement around spring practice; they want some funding in place before they take it for approval
- old scoreboard is coming down after this season
- "entering the jumbotron arms race."

Nice

Looks good, but I hope that new video board comes with a new sound system.

I hope they brick the outside.

Our campus and stadium improvements makez me happy

No Brick, No Care.

Finally, the Tiger's Den is so ridiculously overcrowded for recruiting events and social activities. North Endzone will give so much extra space to build out and make a proper locker room facility

About time.

The way it should be done.

Wonder how moving the locker room into the north end zone will effect Tiger Walk.
Call me sentimental but I will miss the old school scoreboard in the north end zone. It's always the best one to get selfies with the score in the background after the same

First we hear JJ is not giving Gus what he wants. Now we are expanding to 102k? Love the internet.

That's nice and all but I hope a major overhaul to the Athletic Complex is included in there. Just as needed IMO.

I hope they give the old girl a face lift while she is getting the boob job.

I assume this is all being negotiated with the SECN money being used as a financial cushion. I think without it we wouldn't even consider any upgrades/expansion for years to come. I really hope JJ knows what he's doing if he does intend expanding 15,000 seats. I love my Auburn Tigers as my has anyone but IMO we really are one of the smaller schools. Do we have the fanbase/alumni to justify building a 102,000 seat stadium. Its terrible seeing entire sections completely empty on the OOC warm up games we play.

After going back to stadium master plan, sounds like what they envision

Update: 2016 date for phase one: Boxes in the North Endzone.
Lowder was brought back specifically for its fundraising
Expect an official announcement around spring practice; they want some funding in place before they take it for approval
Old scoreboard is coming down after this season. "Entering the jumbotron arms race."

I dont like the idea of moving the locker rooms. Its bad arse when the team enters under the student section. If they come from the other side it will suck. Plus Tiger Walk will have to be moved

sweet. TV money is a good thing.
