PAC MAN Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 Nothing wrong with decreasing capacity a bit. Only Arizona has increased theirs (unless my information is wrong) and Utah is going to increase theirs (deservedly). Are they going to add those loge seating? It seems like the rage these days.

Arizona is decreasing their capacity as well by replacing bleacher seating with individual chairs in some sections. We're going from around 57,000 to a bit over 50,000.

Should be completed before the 2021 season.. Much more premium seating/suites, more GA seating, new locker rooms, meeting rooms, band facilities, better medical/treatment rooms.. Utah fans have been waiting a long time for this. With standing room seating, I'm guessing we see about $52K+ on game day. $80M project. Lead gift was $17M by the Garff Family. Total fundraising was $35M.. The rest will be funded by the school and or bonds. Here is the current setup.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I'm pleased that it's the Utes, and not BYU, that will be the premier program in the state of Utah forever. #FuckThoseMormons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are 14-3 against them since 2002.. Since we've joined the P12 and they went Indy, the separation has been more glaring from everything to performance, national relevance, interest and revenue... You can walk into of all places Walmart locally and see isles full of Ute gear/swag and maybe a tiny corner of BYU gear.. No contest.

Orange Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I don't know much about all Cougar facilities, but Goss Stadium, Gill Colisseum and Reser have each been upgraded pretty recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ's stadium looks like it should hold more, but maybe that's because of the sheer vertical-ness of it. It's tall. Its built like a ski run at Snowbird, straight up and down.

They just did some work on that side of the stadium, mostly in the concourse area. It's tough to work on that side of the stadium because the Steward Observatory Mirror Lab below.

Quack 12 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 It looks like the new Hayward Field will make its debut for the Pac-12 T&F Championships in May. It will also host the Olympic Trials in June. Only in Eugene would a dedicated Track and Field stadium be built. It's kind of nuts when you think about it, but it is amazing. https://hayward.uoregon.edu/about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
