BOT meeting today: WB on the agenda

[18IsTheMan]

On the agenda: Phase 1 Approval of Williams-Brice Stadium Development Project

This apparently does not seem to relate to the retail/dining development project but to WB specifically.

Interesting.

Would the BOT even be involved with the retail/dining development project? It would not be USC money being spent on those.

How about we turn the Floyd football building into a hotel ?

 

[18IsTheMan]

Sounds like it's for building more premium suites.

Does adding premium suites take away seats for regular folks?

Was hoping it'd be something more meaningful.

Turn that end into a great premium seating section with an inside concession concourse accessible from both main sides of the stadium. Holding that end-zone hostage to the Floyd Building is outrageous. Just do something great down there and name it for them, I don't care.

You can count on it. But don't worry, Tanner said capacity will not drop below 70,000.

This is certainly one of those "don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining" kind of things.

How about upping it to 90,000?

How about upping it to 90,000?

How about winning some games FIRST???

It means more money. Get in step. You have to enlarge the footprint to add seats if you take seats away for suites. We ain't enlarging the footprint.

Do both

 

[Southern Fried Chicken]

Do both

WHY DON'T we get rid of FRANK'S BOY AND HIRE A REAL FOOTBALL COACH???

.... when does winning come into play???

 

[Beanerball]

I hate to break it to you but more money helps the more winning side of the argument. Having said that that, I’m totally against anything that lowers the seating capacity of Willy B . The new release on this phase seemed to be talking more about upgrading areas around the stadium. Going forward, sure , do something great with the single deck end zone, but not at the expense of seating capacity.

We've made it this far without it becoming a priority. It's totally incidental now.

Reduced seating capacity is a done deal.
