It appears artificial is going to be used inside.

This link shows images of what the stadium will look like when completed:

It appears that on the hill above the south endzone, most of the green turf will display a huge LU logo.

Just noticed there will be a row trees at the top of the hill.

[Cider Jim]

Maybe we have discussed this before, but in the same link it appears that is a small seating area in the left corner of the hill above the south endzone.

Could that be reserved for our marching band?

[cruzan_flame13]

I'm not sure Cider but that would be a great position for them. My question is how will the marching band enter the stadium? Will they wrap around University Blvd or will there still be an access area for them and the football team to enter as they walk/march towards the stadium on University Blvd?

The corner was scrapped. They will be on field and center. Those pics are from last August.

The two stair cases down the berm will likely be how the band enters the stadium.

Center of what? The hill above the endzone? Or somehow behind between the players and the stands?

Center on the endzone. Look at just in front of the new retaining wall.

Will the whole band be able to fit there?

[cruzan_flame13]

That looks a bit small for the band, but I suppose I need to actually see it in person.

[thepostman]

Yeah it does look small but it is also really hard to judge.

It's is interesting how all of this work is really closing in the stadium. Even if 75% full the sound level should really increase.

[flamehunter]

I say no way the whole band fits in that small area. Look at the saw horses sitting there for scale. They took up most of a section of seats on the student side. That looks like half that much area at best.

[Jonathan Carone]

That’s more likely to be camera wells and/or a tv studio area than the band.

That's my best guess. The seating map doesn't allocate any seating areas for the band and abandoned the corner section.

This picture is way closer than previous one.

YES!! This is very consistent with what has already been completed.

[Chippy]

The band will then walk down the two sets of steps onto the field and do pregame music and then retire to the stands in the endzone and remain there until halftime is what I'm guessing.

[Jonathan Carone]

After seeing that drawing, that looks a lot bigger than the picture someone posted earlier. That could easily fit the band.

[BJWilliams]

I can see the band going single file down the steps and then splitting into their traditional quad file once they get on the field...either way, that expansion looks downright sick...I really want to make a trip or two or three for a home game now

shows a great view of east side entrance that is very cool and that I hadn't seen from any prior renderings. Makes stadium look very big from east side view point.

[JK37]

Band location is very similar to WVU. And others. Popular recent trend. Several stadiums have added band area at field level in end zone without major stadium expansion like LU’s.

[Old Red]

Just got my “Rise With Us” season ticket packet for Football. The section about stadium expansion lists a “New Family Section in the South end zone”. I guess that’s our mystery seating section.
Not a bad idea.
I guess the marching band will stay on the edge of the student section?

[Cider Jim]

No, I'm still hearing south endzone for the marching band, with the first row of seats being field level, and then going up towards the hill after that.

[Old Red]

Gotcha. So, I guess the family zone is a nicer way of saying “the berm”.
That’ll work

[Cider Jim]

Right, bring a blanket and relax on the hill (aka, berm) with your family.

[Class of 20Something]

So looking at the price points for the new season, the cheapest bleachers and benchbacks are both on the new upper deck. I think this is a smart strategic move to make sure the stadium looks good and full on TV broadcasts. Also, with GA overflowing onto the berm, shots toward the south endzone will have the band and a populated berm.
