Any news on stadium expansion?

Unread post by Eggers09 » Sun Mar 12, 2023 2:39 pm

I remember DG shared in an interview a few months ago that there would be more news on the East side expansion in Q1, but I haven't seen anything new yet. Really hope they replace East side upper deck while they're at it. Anyone have any updates on new renderings/ time line?

About a month ago I was told that new renderings had just been commissioned and would be available soon. The overall plans have not changed, and these will get into more detail about things like where kitchen/catering will play in, where bathrooms will be located, etc., which will in turn drive the mechanical details so that construction can be bid out and subsequently begin. Still aiming for 2025 opening, unless supply chain issues impact the schedule.

Is the NEZ done? Wouldn’t we want to finish that before moving to the East side?

Depends on what you expect it needs to be completed?

I’ve only been in the NEZ a couple of times. I did not notice any unfinished areas. I didn’t go thru the entire building so I don’t know for sure. If there is unfinished business there, I too would think it should be finished before other new construction.

Can two things be worked on at the same time? And what needs to be done in the NEZ?

Finish to the renderings/elevations that were accepted in plans. Assuming Covid altered plans and it’s done and complete based off the responses.

I’m not sure what the plans looked like originally, but it is done.

If so, can we please replace the upper east stands with brick, mortar and concrete?

The NEZ looks unfinished even if it’s not . Maybe that’s what they’re saying.

Any updates on East would be interesting, was told it would not happen unless fully funded beforehand, last price tag was 60 million, or so.

Well for starters the massive 40 foot high void under the seats looks ridiculous and unfinished or an oversight. Then there’s the eye test of the person that didn’t demand it to be centered to the field. Off center makes it look unfinished.

Fair observation. The void was intentional so to serve a multipurpose function and the off center look could be due to constraints in the build. My point is that not everything that looks wrong, actually is.

I’m with you mountainerman. The void beneath the seats looks unfinished. If multipurpose was the idea for that area, seems like we could have arraigned for pull out seating if needed. The “off center” aspect is really baffling to me. Looks odd. Wonder what construction, design or footing constraints could have caused that.

Off center was on purpose to connect the sides with the next expansion project.

That void was for people using the tables under there during good weather to drink. Only half kidding.

i thought off-center was to throw off opponent's field goal attempts.

If the columns underneath the stands weren’t needed then I suppose that you could have roll in seating. However, due to a structural engineering flaw, the supports became necessary.
