East side of Glass Bowl renovation/construction thread
I think this would be a good spot to put photos and videos as they are getting co-mingled with new turf thread. If you have pics and updates please share them here! Here are some from another thread:

Thanks for the photos.

Probably won't happen, but the east deck would look a whole lot better if the tacky advertising signs were taken off and replaced by a ribbon board.

Yep but can't imagine ribbon boards are cheap. Seems like they might generate revenue better than the signs. A good time to buy tech has always been when the next new thing that moves data quicker comes out. Has more lasting power. Hopefully they'll be a in a position to add in the future.

Doesn't seem as if they've EVER been successful getting grass to grow on that strip between the sidewalk and the east side of that street. Is that my imagination?

All of the salty slush that plowed off the road onto the grass in the winter.

I've expressed that same feeling many, many times. This probably means nothing, but do you notice in the pictures those tacky, outdated advertising signs are taken down? The Glass Bowl would be 50x cooler with a ribbon board stretching along that entire side.

RE: East side of Glass Bowl renovation/construction thread
I wouldn't say they are "tacky," just a bit dated. If they do stick with the signs for a bit, I suppose now would be a good time to reimage them. Maybe a unifying theme or something? A color scheme that fits in with the new field?

RE: East side of Glass Bowl renovation/construction thread
Does anybody know how much the east side renovation will reduce the seating capacity of the Glass Bowl?

The wife and I were just informed that the seats we have had for a number of years in the lower stands on the east side will no long be available as the top three rows in our section will be lost presumably as a result of the renovation. If those seats are lost and not are recouped somewhere else I would guess the Glass Bowl seating will be reduced by a few hundred seats.

The top row of your regular seats I believe have 26 in a section. With three sections being removed and 78 in each of the three rows, it looks to be a loss of about 234 seats. So the GB will be at around 26,000 unless they add 2 rows of seating at the top of the east deck where there are 2 walkway levels for SRO. That might be room for 400+ seats.

Why did they take the seats out? I thought everything was happening under the upper deck.

We want new lights!!!!

Maybe adding more/better handicap seating? What they need to do for the handicap seating is extend it forward a couple rows so the 1st row in front of the handicap seating is low enough so they can see over people standing in front of them. Right now, if people stand in the seats in front of the handicap areas, then they can't see anything.

From what I understand the walls below the upper tier seating have been removed and instead of tunnels to the concessions it will be pretty wide open and there will be more ability to walk into the concession area from just about anywhere on the cat walk area and still see the game while you are in there, creating more flow and ability to stand around in that area, drink a beer or whatever, and still see the game before returning to your seats.

By the way, I know that some of us get critical on this board about things, but if you really think about things, the athletic department has been able to do a major project about every two years and little tweaks in between. In the last eight years or so we have done a major overhaul on Savage, added the Sullivan athletic facility, built the indoor practice facility including areas of other teams, major overhaul on the Larimar endzone facility, new turf, two video boards (no MAC school has that), now adding onto the Grogan Room (important for donors) and a major overhaul of the East side stands. My guess is that in two years you will see a move on the soccer, baseball and softball to the main campus once the master plan is accepted and implimented. Not bad at all guys! Hats off to the folks that work hard at UT to make these things happen while some of us ***** and complain a little too much!

Isn't there not just the wall between concourse and the underneath but also a small wall on the field side of the concourse? Unless they're moving the concessions from the outer fence to the concourse location, I can't envision how they would pull of what you're describing, not even if they also pull down that small wall.

And to your rant about "complaints," it's an opinion but that's all are the "complaints," some would call critiques, opinions or just speculative what-ifs. I would suspect from reading these boards that those same people you call out for "complaints" are also part source of the donations helping to pay for these things. We are fans. It's why we're on the board, right? The "complaints," it's just conversation.

Drove by yesterday. Looks like those dozens of steel supports are still there. If they remain, wandering around with a drink in your hand could be hazardous to your health.

I could be mistaken, but between T-Town's post and looking at the latest turf video, it looks like they might have also lowered that wall right behind the center sections of the lower bowl. Not the full length of the field, but right behind the center 3 sections. If that was where T-Towns seats were, then that might explain why they took a few rows out.

So, with those two walls removed, instead of the concession area being a dark, dank space removed from the game, at least the center part will be open right straight out to the event space. I imagine there will still need to be some sort of rail there, though. I'm not sure you would actually be able to view the field, but at least the space will be open. I guess it will be nice. Seems a shame to lose all that primo seating, though.

(Note: I could be wrong about that wall. It's hard to tell for sure in the video, but it sure looks like the center was lowered.

I'm right with you, it definitely looks like those 3 sections in the middle were lowered. I like the concept of having an open area, but I hate losing those prime seats.

3 sections of the upper or the lower?

There's not a stadium renovation done that removes prime seating. Most I read about sacrifice total numbers in order to increase prime seating. I can't imagine someone signing off on losing best seating for a simple concessions re-org. We'll see when it's done.

Up until now, that is. Once again Your University of Toledo "is boldly going where no others have gone before...."

Actually from the few drawings posted it appears that east side entrances and concession areas will no longer look like a dark, dank dungeon so it will be a massive improvement in that regards. Still hate lose all those prime seats and it might take the Glass Bowl to just under 26,000 seats**; however, I guess that is not the big deal it would have been back in 2000 or 2001 when the Glass Bowl routinely sold out well beyond its stated capacity. That hasn't happened for a while now and the failure to even sell it out for a former UT HC and UT HOF member bringing in his defending SEC division champion team into the Glass Bowl tells me that there is no problem in losing a few hundred seats at the present time----Of course Michigan and tOSU would sell out the Glass Bowl, but evidently not too many other teams would do it these days and UM and tOSU are not going on the road to play in front of 26,000 when they can play in front of 100,000+ at home with tickets priced twice as high.

**from the photo showing the new turf with the east stands in the background it looks as if Sections 22, 23 and 24 lost 3 rows and Sections 21 and 25 lost 2 rows--or maybe only 1 row. Either way that should reduce the Glass Bowl seating to just under 26,000 seats unless they create some new seats somewhere else.

Still hate lose all those prime seats and it might take the Glass Bowl to just under 26,000 seats**; however, I guess that is not the big deal it would have been back in 2000 or 2001 when the Glass Bowl routinely sold out well beyond its stated capacity. That hasn't happened for a while now and the failure to even sell it out for a former UT HC and UT HOF member bringing in his defending SEC division champion team into the Glass Bowl tells me that there is no problem in losing a few hundred seats at the present time----Of course Michigan and tOSU would sell out the Glass Bowl, but evidently not too many other teams would do it these days and UM and tOSU are not going on the road to play in front of 26,000 when they can play in front of 100,000+ at home with tickets priced twice as high.

**from the photo showing the new turf with the east stands in the background it looks as if Sections 22, 23 and 24 lost 3 rows and Sections 21 and 25 lost 2 rows--or maybe only 1 row. Either way that should reduce the Glass Bowl seating to just under 26,000 seats unless they create some new seats somewhere else.

Got the call today that my Mom also lost her 2 seats near T-Town. Understand that only the row she sat in was lost and she will keep the same seats one row down.
