The North endzone is a no go at this point because of the road between TS and PMAC plus the fact that we spent $3 million for Mike's habitat.


Also, because there are 3 structures attached to the stadium in the North Endzone. That was the sole reason the east upper deck wrapped around the south--because it was not feasible to wrap it around the north with the rehab room in the north endzone. The same followed with the new west upper deck because of the Lawton Room and to mirror the east side.

The road excuse is BS. Re-routing a road is nothing...it would be a good project for the senior level civil engineering students.

As to the upper being too far back, I can see that issue, although would it be drastically different than the east and west upper? If you are in the upper decks, you already know that you are not going to see as well as row 35 on the 50 yardline.

If making money is the object, the buildings aren't sacrosanct. We can always rebuild them into whatever new structures supporting the NEZ UD.
