Since the new addition has spots for TV camera mounts, there's a possibility some games look pretty empty. If the opposing team doesn't bring fans, and the students don't turn out, the camera will show a half empty side of the stadium.

When we have noon games the emptiness of the student section has been noticeable, so this will be nothing new.

I have wandered into Zable recently to look at the renovations and when
I see the East side it looks even more run down than before. It needs a little TLC to say the least. With new radio and press facilities being built, what will happen to the old ones ? When asked about it during the meetings Mr Driscoll said nothing was going to be done to that side of Zable. No doubt the $$$ is not there to renovate those areas to make them boxes or a special seating area.

I believe the original details outlined plans to renovate the old Presidents box and make it also a luxury suite. I guess there wasnt enough money.

I believe that the "original plans" thoughts/wishes included a modest renovation to the East Side Stands in addition to improvements to the West Side. At one time the plan was to make the entire stadium "ADA Compliant" but this is obviously not happening as the seating and aisles on the East side remain unchanged, also no safety handrails going up and down the aisles on that side of the stadium. Obviously, they were able to claim that the East side stands and the West Side stands were two completely separate entities [for purposes of compliance with Government Regulations]. I am not sure of the logic in making one side of the stadium "safer" than the other side..........
