Nice link. Thanks. Alumni Drive is awesome now and its reconfiguration will make the game experience more enjoyable because you won't have to sit in traffic so long.
I drove out to the stadium yesterday to check progress and it looked like an ant hill. Workers were everywhere.
The suites are coming together at a startling rate. So are the parking lots and landscaping. What I see as a big problem is painting of the older structure. I don't know if that can be completed by 9/5.

Kentucker, what kind of old structure painting are they doing? I have seen the new photo of the back of the scoreboard, which leaves a lot to be desired, but was wondering if they were refreshing any other exterior parts of the stadium with new paint and graphics.

It looks like the decided against the big field level portal for the lounge and opted to use each corner as the lounge entrance instead. It still looks like they have a lot of work to do on those suites before the home opener.

The suites are almost done. They just put up scaffolding to install the ribbon board.

Impressive for a team that will never win the SEC let alone the western division

Probably get more bites from TexAgs than here. That was pretty weak.

Order. Consider revising.

I'm curious about he seating capacity of the suites. 8-10 doesn't compare to 28. Our founders suites are almost a 1000 sq ft and seat 28
It's simple really. Most of the seats are outside or along the glass wall...
...the east side suites have 27 seats outside. The south vary between 15-18 outside. Each suite has room along the glass wall for 4-5 seats.

How many are we at now? we have a renovation/addition about to get started, that will be mostly centered around premium seating and suites
Correction: 73 for Jordan-Hare. Tiger Stadium has 70 on the east sideline. The south end zone addition added 66 more suites.

Looks nice Landmass.....

That is fairly similar. Yall just have 3 rows of seating outside, we have 2 rows. Probably similar widths. A&M might be putting in wider, cushioned chairs.

Last bit of pouring?

You can really see how much closer the fans are to the field. Completely bowled in until you get partially up into the 3rd deck. Its going to be loud for Chavis on those 4th quarter 3rd downs.

How many seats outside in Kyle for the founders, and for the regular suites?
And I'm guessing outside of the founder's suites, every suite at Kyle holds 16, correct?
Posted on 8/18/15 at 4:19 pm to TigersOfGeauxld
Founders? 2 rows of 9, I THINK.
Same with the West 400 Prime (8 suites, I think). They hold 28 as well.
The rest of the west side suites hold 16-18. I THINK 2 rows of 6 outside.
Same with the east side suites.
The North Zone suites are fully indoor.
