Thank you Jack! You motivated me to make my small contribution yesterday. Wondering though, is the new turf being installed in the present location to be moved closer to the stands later when that phase of construction starts, or is the track being removed at the same time as the new turf going in?

That’s a great question, word is the $5mm gift will pay for the red turf replacement this offseason.

The field is not moving, it is staying in exactly the same place. The home side stands will be completely rebuilt and moved closer to the field. This will create a plaza area for concessions in front of the press box. Also, the number of seating rows will be reduced from 30 to 20ish which will allow more room for each seat. The overall home side seating number will not change despite extending an additional 30 yards. This will truly be a new rebuilt stadium with only the existing press box, scoreboard and field staying like what they were, and as we know the inside of the press box will be completely remodeled. This will not be a retrofit of the old stadium but truly a new stadium built in the same location with fan experience, comfort, and amenities coming first.

Well said. That’s the beauty of this project, it’s a brand new stadium and they’re keeping the existing press box. New west grandstand, new east grandstand with press/media box & the track is being removed. Removing the endzone grandstand seems unnecessary, and leaving those seats probably gets us to 10k capacity, but I can’t complain it’s a beautiful design.
We’re at 95 pages fellas :lol: let’s open up our wallets and help get this thing built! That would be a dream come true! GoEags!

"They need to just leave the end zone seating where it is until that end gets completely bowled in. We’ll need that extra capacity for the bigger games."
"Agreed.... without the bleachers there, we will just have a beautiful view of the parking lot anyways lol"
HOWEVER, a plan to remove those existing bleachers, considering that the planners are strategic planners, creates three possibilities. (or more?)
1. Doing the net "no additional seats" improves existing seating quality and viewing at a minimum cost (25 mil) which planners evidently believed was the minimal contribution amount doable = minimum construction they considered possible.
2. End bleacher removal leaves a (ugly) hole that obviously needs to be filled in. This provides a continuing requirement (opportunity) for additional contributions, either immediate or continuing as construction moves forward. By that time contributors have already bought into the enhancement, may contribute more, or at a minimum, new contributors will join a successful program.
3. Retaining the existing bleachers could postpone forever(?) the need to replace them, but would increase the current "budget" in order to provide additional restroom and parking facilities.

Eastern could make some money selling off some square yards of the field, and it would be cool to own some of it. If I had my choice, I’d buy the black section of the end zone where Greg Herd caught the TD to seal the win over Villanova. But I can’t imagine demand would be all that high. The school might make $25k or thereabouts, selling to local bars and restaurants as a talking point.
the vast majority would wind up being recycled.

I would buy a piece. I think they'd sell at $25-$50 a sq ft. with possible "prime" pieces going for home...ie goal line pieces, end zone, numbered pieces, logo pieces ect. I'm frugal and would pay $50 for a piece to say I own a piece of the original red, I can't be alone.
