If anything, it would only get smaller with emphasis on chair seating and suites

I wouldn’t say the corners are filled in. They just put a small staircase there,

And that is in all four corners...

There’s a staircase going on the west side. It hasn’t been built yet.
The Dude Abides

Where will that go?

Here are the renderings and a picture of where it will go on the southwest corner.

The ramps from the lower level to the concourse are as follows:

I’m sorry but as functional as that is... it’s straight up ugly as heck...

Some kind of facade has to be the next priority.

Really nice setting. Absolutely. The stadium? Not so much.

I’ve always thought LES is the prettiest setting in all of college

UW had both covered. Beautiful setting, really nice stadium.

They also took on $250,000,000 of debt

Something BYU won't and shouldn't do.

UW didn't give me $250M better feel or experience than LES. I have a LES bias

A thought about stadium "expansion"

6/14/19 7:03pm
What a waste of $16 million. We can walk around the stadium without going to the bottom?
The Dude Abides
6/14/19 7:04pm
Maybe that’s in the future plans. Would make sense to do the mezzanine first

Definitely a hope. I won’t hold my breath but it’s a hope.

You need to chill and see it for yourself before you make negative comments

Seen it. I’m not as excited.
The Dude Abides
6/14/19 7:23pm
Most people aren’t excited when their house is just a foundation and a few 2x4s
Pretorian

It’s done enough that it’s easy to see what it is. I’m good with my current opinion.
The Dude Abides

The “walking around” is a very minor part of the current project

Those all sound like incredibly minor changes.

Why do I sound like someone who will never be pleased? Because I’m not impressed with a walkway? That’s great
The Dude Abides

They’re right.... you need to “abide” better.
Pretorian

$16 million is not a small enhancement. But OK.

The WiFi is a good point. That was a huge change.
TCuz

And the ribbon boards and big screens added a modern feel to the stadium

Not really.

You're right,, they should take then down and throw them away.

Are they adding new concessions? I haven’t heard that they are. I don’t see why lines would be any
The Dude Abides
6/15/19 8:26am
The trend in concessions is for outside vendors...

I don’t care for the reasons you mentioned. “They don’t move quickly but are methodical”. Lol okay.

I hope they find a way to support larger screens.

I would love some “frivolous bling” at LES in the form of upgrades to our cement palace.

Why should a fan care at all about the press box?

Right now that box is only used 7 times a year...
