Suspense is killin' SD

Wished those that saved those renderings put them back on or the UUFP restated the posts!

Hopefully we will get something fresh for our eyes this Saturday, either interior bowl or font exterior, anything would be great really!

I saved the renderings to my photos. It will be interesting to see what changed, if anything.

Albany is renovating their arena at a cost of about $15 million, the seating capacity will be 3,800
The way this arena is setup proves to me that our own renovated capacity will be at-least 3,000

Hope you are right. The difference is the # of rows. Dins will be significantly less.

Due to wanting to be 360, the limiting factor will be the concourse on the end zone seating. If there were not a concourse there, they could add bleacher type seats like Samford has to increase seating but lets be real... will they ever be used?

Significantly less? Doubt it, maybe a few less but Albany is already not many rows.

And what concourse are you talking about? The entire interior of Timmons Arena will be gutted out and the court will be repositioned, there is going to be plenty of room to add whatever we want.

Albany has 17-18 rows. The design pictures for Dins was 10-11. Timmons is shaped like a triangle. The tip of the triangle is the endzone. The concourse will take so make of this area. whats left is what available for seating.

That will determine the #rows possible

Currently there are about 50-55 seats per sideline row in Timmons. 10 rows would only be 500 seats per side are a total of 1,000 sideline seats so you would think at least 15 rows and that would still only be 1,500 sideline seats. Anything less would be a huge mistake. So afraid the mistake made 25 years ago will be repeated. From what we are hearng it seems history will repeat itself. :cry:
