I can’t really tell if that Red area that spans the entire new area is flat or slanted. Seems like a lot of wasted area where there are no seats!  And the two areas that come down to field level? Is one of those for the bands?  Looks a little strange.  Lots of questions.  I’m pretty happy with it overall.   Hopefully there are a $#!*ton of new bathrooms down that way.

Chamber pots for the rich folk.

Is the band going to be right down on the field in those two boxes?

[St George Ute]

The two boxes coming up from field level look like the loge boxes they referred to in the press release. Premium boxes that usually include about 4 executive level seats with tables and/or countertops. It’s high class seating with someplace to put your food.

Lame. Put the band there.

I’d think that they’d put the band by the Muss. Like, the upper corner that’s always empty.

Meh, doesn’t bother me. Having seen these at T-Mobile Arena in Vegas, they’re actually pretty cool. I can see them being used especially for visiting dignitaries during opening/closing ceremonies of the 2030 Olympics. I imagine they’ll likely put the band at the front of the MUSS.
