I think that I like the original 40,000 expansion design better, but this is will put us on par with other AAC football stadiums

Yeah aside from the various seating types, it seems like a pretty straightforward design. It’s very “competent”.

clt says if we would have constructed halton correctly, we wouldn’t need to move the ticket office.

I tried to start a clean thread for this so people wouldn’t have to read through years of bitching in this thread.

Its dumb/nitpicky but I really liked that gate and archy walkway in the 40K version, just looks classic like a gladiator arena or something, was hoping they d keep that in the design

Jerry Richardson stadium capacity is not going to be 30,650 thats phase 2 because phase 3 which has the stadium capacity at 45,680 its gonna be so beautiful and also the baseball stadium expansion is very nice more than doubling the current capacity and halton arena has very good upgrades as well

the way Jerry Richardson stadium is right now the current seating is sunken in and now adding the extra seats will make the sound be trapped in which means it’s gonna be LOUD

It’s an aesthetic feature. If someone else that likes it want to foot the bill I’m sure Mike will listen, but the money could be spent on more useful parts of the stadium.

1243

I’m sure a donation of 1 million or so dollars could change their mind about loosing the gate.

Phase 1 reminds me an awful lot of this, to be honest:

I think Phase 1 basically gets us to a WKU level stadium (maybe a little nicer).

We won’t have an AAC stadium until Phase 2.

On the positive side, that new tower should block a big chunk of the afternoon sun (hallelujah!)

1246

I get why you think they are similar press towers, but:

  1. They really aren’t. The obvious is ours is will be straight, 2 levels of suites, and looks like nearly twice the outdoor seating.

  2. There’s only so much variation you can have in buildings that are designed to perform the exact same functions.

1247

I mean yea it is, you could make the entire thing out of concrete, ditch the bricks and finishing touches and it’d be cheap, could probably add a few more seats but aesthetics have a place/purpose as well a good memorable game day experience is important

1248

I’d argue the best gameday experience possible is winning. :wink:

Im not sure what we build that would make us do that consistently
