Since they're working on the SEZ currently, are there any plans to eventually do the NEZ? Looked at the model pictures and it just looks awkward IMO.

Not enough room without blocking off the street, which they don't want to do.

They currently have the North End zone area fenced off out to North Stadium Dr. Not exactly sure what they are doing.

There won't even be a street next year. It's being converted to a plaza.

This. The main thing stopping a NEZ expansion is the locker room/weight room and Mike's Habitat.

Yeah, no Toonces plz. That's a Toonces hater's hell.

Are they doing a bistro thing above the weight room? That looks pretty neat.

I'm not sure they're cutting off the street this year. Those renderings aren't exactly new.

Agreed. I can't see them closing N. Stadium Dr. until S. Stadium Dr. reopens after the SEZ expansion is completed in 2014.

From this picture, apparently the long term plan is to to turn all of BR beyond the campus into green fields. This, I approve of
