I wonder if they are planning a sky box structure like the one on the west upper deck or will the new seating areas be in the area below the east upper deck? Does anyone know?

He said something about a net loss of 600 or so seats. Imo, losses of that number indicate the 'red level' seats between the upper and lower decks on the East side would take the 'hit' in seat losses, which would take our official seating capacity BELOW 80,000.
The thought of a glass cage extending the entire length of the underside of the East Upper is simply . . . sickening! Make more $$$ the honest way: improve recruiting and coaching, win more games more often and then charge more $$$ for seats in W-B. Simple . . . and also prettier.
yup...maybe they should install a premium football team for more than 3 years...then the money will come.Go ahead and piss off more Gamecock fans like Hyman did . That should be fun to watch .

Wow, Tanner must have made a huge announcement for gamecock fans to be complaining.
Of course you don't care. You don't pay. I'm sure RT is scared sh*tless over your threat.I don't care anything at all about "premium" seating or luxury box seats.
Tanner better figure out how to win some games, or he can just chop off the east side of the stadium.
The people that sit in the zone come and go. We have sat there for years and there are always new faces around us. We gave up 2 of our 6 seats zone seats for 2 extra in the west club today. With the price increase last year the zone cost to much for me to just give away tickets and it has gotten where We rarely use all 6.
However Suites are a totally different story, they never come available and if there were some to be had they would be scooped up immediately. I wouldn't be surprised if some private money hasn't offered to build a group of suites in the north end zone. At a projected cost of 8-10 million if you believe what has been published they could easily recoup their money and a nice profit off a 20-30 suite project. Of course USC doesn't want to share the revenue so I doubt they would be interested.
The weird thing about the Littlejohn remodel is that they just did a tens of millions of dollars revamp to it, what, less than a decade ago?
If Billy Brice drops below 80k seats so Tanner can create a bar for rich people to drink and hangout during games, he's a dumbass.He said something about a net loss of 600 or so seats.

If he loses 600 nosebleed seats to make another $2-$3 million per year then he's a genius!

Attendance is down everywhere, this is the new trend. At least for anyone with any business sense at all.
Right. I love the insult thrown in at the end, John Gault. I guess you hangout on the free message board at 8:30 am because you're a captain of industry.Attendance is down everywhere, this is the new trend. At least for anyone with any business sense at all.
Exactly. Those top row nose bleed seats in the east upper are only full for 2 games a year anyway. Give the rich people something they want and it will open their billfolds.

In any event, if the university thinks moving towards fewer seats for peasants so that they can leverage more cash from donors is a good strategy, we're in big trouble. Or does attendance no longer count? I shouldn't be surprised. The stadium is surrounded by industrial blight, fake rockets, railroad tracks, garbage and palm trees that have no business on the side of the stadium. The university has always looked at everything short term. Why not this? Sure, putting a winner consistently on the field is hard. And damn, cleaning up the area and improving the game day experience is costly. Let's just keep crowding people into dirty, un-shaded parking lots and put in some luxury boxes for a few fans. Problems solved.
How about putting a winner on the field more than three years at a stretch and then you'll see those wallets fly open. Just a thought.

Cockhorn I agree with you about boxes in the north endzone.....Old Dominion University's football stadium added boxes in their endzone, I could see a similar structure added above the present stands on both sides of the score boardIt hasn't been designed yet, though I would bet it will mirror the one built above the west upper. They *could* also build premium seating on either side of the scoreboard above the north end zone with fittings for an eventual upper deck above.

Wow! I think the jury is still out on Tanner, but he is doing the right thing is regards to more premium seating. Everybody has their opinion. I think your comment makes you the dumbass.If Billy Brice drops below 80k seats so Tanner can create a bar for rich people to drink and hangout during games, he's a dumbass.
