The only one's I know of are States and OM's. (If OM actually goes through with theirs, I think it would look badass).

I also saw some banners and pamphlets about LSU's restoration.

What is your team doing, do you like it?

If its an expansion please tell what it will be increased to. A picture of the proposed plan would be good as well.

States:



Increase stated roughly around 5,000 to 7,000 additional seats added to a woping 55,000 (current capacity). Should take us into the lower 60k's

No flame, but why is that building off at a weird angle compared to the rest of the stadium?

Tennessee will begin phase 3 of a 5 phase, $200M renovation of Neyland after the season. Phases 3 and 4 will be total overhauls of the concourses and the South and East exteriors. Phase 5 will add luxury seating around the lower bowl.

Phases 1 and 2 were the North and West exteriors and the West concourse renovation, along with loge seating and a new jumbotron.

I believe Neyland is supposed to be done around 2020.

Arkansas is adding new chairback seats and boxes to the north endzone that will take capacity into the low 80's.

I doubt we add to JHS in the near future. Renovations will probably be made to the exterior (add brickwork) and sound system first

In most conferences you would probably find maybe one or two teams working on expansion. In the SEC West alone right now, 5 of 7 teams are planning expansions.

A&M is beginning its planned renovation/expansion. Still real early in the process.

North Endzone will match South.



Inside view, current jumbotron will be broken in half, then both will be placed to mirror eachother in the stadium. looks nice.

ETA: Major renovation of the east and south sides of the stadium. Adding lots of boxes, somewhere between 8,000-18,000 seats (has not been released to public, these renderings are legit but were leaked).
Rumored renovations cost ~$200 million funded by private donors.

If this plan is still on the table (from right before Pantygate)then the expansion to the 600 level of the East endzone would bring us to 100,000+


Recently finished a sweet renovation of the North Side of the stadium before last season, called "Reed Alley" for Reed Hall in the background of this pic. Made it much more aesthetically pleasing and fan friendly (this is the side of the stadium opposing fans sit on)

They'll be updating the exterior as well as installing a retractable roof.

Vaught Hemingway will be around 70k or a little more. The renovation will happen, but I think the new arena is priority #1 right now. Just depends on donations/revenue too I guess.
