Anyone have recent pictures of the endzone expansion? Also, any guesses as to when the school will decide to expand the other endzone? Any final total capacity guesses after the final expansion?

I don't think it will ever happen. There is a weight room that comes out of the stadium that would have to be removed. It would cover the classic colosseum look. It would also be on top of Mike's cage and the PMAC.

I could see them tearing down an upper deck and rebuild it rather than expand the north.

I have heard some rumblings that eventually TAF wants to fund the construction of NEZ luxury box suites that would not cover up the Roman Coliseum look. It would not need to go out into N. Stadium Drive, nor would they interfere with Mike's Cage. They would put the support structures in to allow access from escaltors on each end.
These NEZ suites and seating would seat around 2000 people. The scoreboard would be put just above them.

This would give DV a final capacity of between 102,000 and 106,000 - depending on what the final seating for SEZ would be.
