I think he meant the new dome.  I wonder why they didn't show any sketches of what it will look like.

I'm excited but also let down. Was really hoping to see renderings of weight room, locker room, etc. even if they aren't final. Like it looks awesome, but it also just looks like a big ole regular building with brick and glass and a whole bunch of football fields.

This is how I feel also.  I would like to hear more of the details like weight room size,  locker rooms,  new players lounge(?) and ex...

I think that they wanted to get announcement done this season when they had the funding ready, and work out the finer details afterwards.

Lol. Give it a minute. We don’t know exactly where things are at in planning/development. These details are probably still being refined.

Is that what this building is?

I think i figured it out....

Its a giant elevator, the team will take it to the top and zip line in to the stadium as part of the tunnel walk(renamed to the Tunnel Zip)....

I am on board.

Plus, if they show something in an artist rendering, and it's not included in the final product, that will just lead to more fans complaining.

There’a just no winning with some of these folks.

I currently park in lot 5, curious how much that will impact us.  If that lot will disappear, if we will have to move our tailgate spot from there, how that will impact the shuttle for my Dad, who is impaired.   I'm sure we'll get an email explaining how it impacts us, but really curious now.

I'm not seeing any changes with lots. Basically just dealing with track area. Hawks and practice fields seem to be staying where they are.

Pretty optimistic.

Love the vision! Might as well think big!

I am on board. 

Per the LJS article: "And construction would include adding elevators or escalators to improve access for fans with seats in North Stadium."

I like your explanation more.
