What will the new additions to Memorial look like?

[corncraze]

I know its pretty early, but I was just wondering if any blue prints or pictures have been released that would show what Memorial Stadium will look like after they add the extra 5,000 seats. Does anyone have any pictures?

I can give you the best possible thing they are going to do. Take the east balcony as it sits now and double it (regular seats). Then take the west skyboxes/suites (not that high of course) and add that on top if it and I think thats what is going to look like. I'm assuming the club seats are going to be in the middle of these somehow/someway. Just my guess though.

University is just wrapping up formal selection of the design team. Should see something developing soon - very tight time frame for design & construction.

that would be sweet. Will the East side keep its facade? O will they do what they did with the West side on it?

The selection of the team is basically done, no idea about what it will look like though.

I'm thinking the project will have to really start taking shape soon after the first of the year - at least its essential elements. I've heard the design time is 'extremely' constricted.

They will have to bulid around that like the did to the west side, but somehow they are going to "showcase" the middle of original east side.

Just something I did when bored instead of schoolwork, so dont get on my a$$ about details. Obviously I just threw the south stadium in there as a pipe dream but seems something plausible as an easy and cheap expansion without demolition down the road in the Big Ten.

Dude... They should hire you. Design finished. Done.
