It does look bigger than 3900 but as late as yesterday Ian stated 25k. No reason for him to understate capacity.

Meaning a perfectly even second deck for the horse shoe. It appears as if they planned two expansions ahead.Sly Fox wrote:I have no direct knowledge, but I have assumed there were elevator shafts in each of them for ADA compliance.I wondered this too, but there shouldn’t be any ADA seating where those are placed.

Tv camera wells wouldn’t make the most sense since it takes so much out of potention seating. The lack on seating symmetry drives my perfectionism personalty nuts.

I think that's yet to be determined. I want to see how everything shakes out. I've heard of press moving to the student tower, I've also heard of the "box coaches" moving over there. I don't think the video press would move to the new upper deck, but audio broadcast and box coaches could without affecting the "product."
If you meant what IM would have done in 2010, the University was in a different place then versus today. I think the facility built was appropriate for a top spending FCS program with FBS ambitions.
