Apologies if this has been posted, but it appears they are finally covering up some of the seats in at least one of the end zones. If anyone has additional details or pictures, please post or redirect me to the original thread if it's been posted. Apparently the top 3 sections in the end zone will eventually be covered:

The 45,000 we have for Duke will look much larger with these seats covered up.

I'm seeing some great moves here lately by this administration!

Nice - I like it.

Wonder how many seats that is.

All three of those top sections combined...I'd guess around 1,000.

Does anyone remember the elevated box seats that were installed by the city at RC's request?

Should look good on tv, at least better than half empty end zone seats.

Good move...nobody wants to sit in that end zone with their back to the video board.

I'll bet you that we have over 45,000 for the Duke game.

Been saying that for a decade...even with the old minitron.

That looks really good. The Sun Bowl shows it can be done well.

I'd love to see retired jerseys or bowl game history displays on tarps in the end zone if the adjacent sections get blocked out, too. It would look classy and accomplish the important feat of reducing capacity a bit.

One of the greatest debacles ever. They installed the seats without thinking about all the rows behind them. This was right up there with the end zone covers we ordered that the fire marshall did not approve because their were no cutouts for fire escapes.

Little things?

Yet some sheeple still bought the geography excuse.

Can someone tell me where to find the pic because for me it is blocked?

That's about 300 seats right there under that tarp.

It looks great.

In the winter, that might be the warmest spot in the stadium with that huge video shining light on you!
