re: South endzone upper expansion

“The south end zone poses some huge problems,” Alleva said. “Unless you hang the new seats over the old ones, they are so far from the field they wouldn’t be conducive. And by backing them you go out to (South Stadium) road and you’d have to redo the road and the parking lot.

“I don’t think that’s a viable option, so I’ve asked our architects to come back with a new plan.” If and when something can be done, Alleva said it would probably be mostly club seats with “a very few suites” and some regularly priced seating. Building a huge upper deck around the top of the south end zone to connect the east and west upper decks — both of which were built with the prospect of one day being connected — isn’t likely to happen as part of this project. And nothing is going to happen until Alleva’s architects can find a way to build a better mouse trap.

“It’s feasible, but you want to build something fans will enjoy,” he said. “You want to get them as close to the field as you can.”
