It IS going to happen. I would guess phase 1 will be announced in the next 3-4 years. The torch needs to move first. They are considering where. People all love to bag on Chris Hill on this subject but it isn’t entirely his decision. The University President, Board of Trustees / Regents, Stadium Director, Athletics Director, Facilities, major donors are all involved and have input.
The following was told to me directly by someone who would absolutely know. The SEZ building is crumbling and costing more to maintain than it’s worth. It needs to be rebuilt. The locker rooms and media rooms are bad. The design (which has been posted on the SLTrib through public records request) has changed since the scoreboard was installed, but they are still planning on completing the concourse around the south end with seats all the way up to it. All chairback I believe. There will be additional concessions on the inner circle and restrooms on the outer circle just like everywhere else in the stadium.
A Phase 2 would put additional seats above this concourse to either side on the video board. This is much farther down the road.
It’s a touchy subject and I get flamed with “Will never happen while Hill is here” when I post this info, but for anyone looking for some hope, there it is.
