EXPANDING STADIUM TO 40k CAPACITY

Unread post by asugoapps » Thu Oct 20, 2022 6:26 am

Last night I saw the future Kidd Brewer stadium expansion that will be completed by the NC State game in 2025. East Side will mirror the West side with a tower that has 3 levels of club seating. The corners will be enclosed on both sides of the NEZ to connect both sides. No confirmed date of when the capital campaign and construction will be announced publicly. Currently Yosef Club is doing a “Soft Hold” on the future club seating. The hill will be left alone. Go App!

I haven't read enough about it to know....but where is the money coming from for this expansion?

That expansion would not get us to 40k seats. The box and club seats would add 2,000 maybe. Unsure the NEZ connection seats.

How quickly can a third east side deck be added? Is this a construction project that can start in late December and be ready by August? We certainly don't need unavailable seating while season construction is going on.

Agreed, funding the next 9 months isn't going to be as liquid as the last two years.

Not that it has anything to do with timing or fundraising, but I have my doubts that NC State ever sets foot in KBS.

Our next major project will be to enlarge the Sofield Center. After that comes the stands on the east side. I don’t believe any money has been officially earmarked for either project.

Not really enlarging as much as replacing the current IPF with a bigger one. The structure for the current one will be repurposed at 105 for tennis.

They’re planning on locking Combs in the basement of Varsity Gym and force him to take a residency at full capacity Rock every Saturday until it’s complete.

I don’t believe that the addition involves a third deck. Haven’t seen any renderings but was told by Gillin that the next add would be premium seating on the east side to accommodate those currently on the waiting list for suites, which includes a certain CMA artist of the year.

I’m game for east side club seats. I’d sign the contract and write a check today.

I tried to add some renderings, but couldn't get files to attach/upload. Renderings look great, building will go up behind existing metal structure.
Club seats will be $25k capital contribution spread over 5 years and $1k to $1200 per seat/annually, Loge Boxes $50k capital and suites will be $250k to $500k capital with $35k annual fee.

The renderings I saw last night look awesome! I really hope this comes to fruition in the near future.

Still say they need to include all-inclusive buffet for NEZ seats...
