Nope, maybe I'm just glad to see him more involved it appears. Doubt this happens if Bohn is still there.

yeah, i liked his use of "us" and "we" throughout the video.
Really doing work over there and doing it quickly. Almost have the north east corner graded to a single level, and the recycling center is all gone.
I just did a quick visual search of most likely stadiums in the conference (UW UofA and UO), and as far as the Pac-12 goes I don't think there are any others.

Not sure that Okie Lite's premium seating down low between the 40's is club/loge, but there are some premium seats that have seat backs and partitions.
ku has a bunch of lazy boys at one end of the field

...and the opposing team is on the other sideline.
As a football fan I can't understand why anyone would pay a premium to sit in the endzone. Those were the cheap seats that they put all of us young alums in. You can't see **** at the other end of the field. Is it too hard to ask for some chairbacks, they don't even have to be padded, in 118 and the other two high donation sections on the west side?
I believe you will be able to buy booze in the new end zone section. That is the hook.
Yep. And it goes beyond that. Different fans like different things. For instance, if my parents were to get season tickets they would love those seats. Being around rowdy, loud fans with the best stadium energy is not a selling point for them... it's a turnoff. View of the field? Secondary concern. As long as their sight lines aren't obstructed and they're not too far from the field, they'll be happy enough.
Being able to have wait staff service taking orders and delivering food and drinks to their seat? Easy-access parking to go with it? One of the best views of Ralphie running? Now we're talking.
Rick George and team nailed it on this one. There are plenty of folks like my parents and that target market has the resources for Club/Loge even as casual fans. They won't buy a Suite, though. Too pricey for a casual fan who isn't using it for business purposes. And they're more than happy to make an area of the stadium their own to transform from low-cost seating to a high-value area.
Totally agree. Thinking about purchasing these seats this season, or very soon.
I imagine these will be sold out and we'll be raking in the $$$$$ with these seats

It won't complete on the north end either. It will terminate at Hwy 128 between Simms & Indiana. You will still have to weave through Interlocken and join back up north of the turnpike.
more demo ongoing while they pour more concrete.
formwork going up for the loge boxes as well.
[tweet]482278030300020737[/tweet] Rick George has a better view than we do.
Site demo/clearing almost complete and construction of new structure has officially begun. New concrete in the north endzone.

I love the smell of new concrete in the morning!
About the same. The stadium game isn't about capacity any more. It's about finding the ideal revenue value. That means justifying as many premium seats as possible to be sold along with the largest possible donations & pricing per seat for the rest.
On that model, Stanford decreased capacity by 20k or so when it did its recent huge remodel of its stadium. CU's at the right size for the modern era (50k-65k). We just need to polish things up to maximize the value of that seating footprint.
it was more like 40k

The exact capacity numbers are not easy to find for 2014 and 2015. As others said, "about the same" and "slightly less" is consistent with my understanding.
It would be a pleasant surprise for any game this season to fill the stadium. It doesn't matter if the capacity ends up at 52,000 or 53,613 right now. I'm expecting attendance to range from 39,000 to as many as 45,000 if we go into Oregon State at 4-1 or 5-0. I doubt the Bruins, Huskies or Utes will pack 'em in.
