They are definitely working on it. They hired HOK to come up with a master plan for the stadium. I imagine they’re still raising money. Sounds like it will be in phases.
Makes sense. Whatever they do to the west and east stands it needs to last like 50 years so may well do it right.
Phases is the way to go. Penn State is managing a total renovation without moving. With planning I'd think plenty can be done each offseason and gameday/capacity disruption will be minimal.
I'm quite curious what the master plan looks like... I can't wait for them to release it.
Have you been there? The seats are already so close it is uncomfortable. I don’t think they can jamb any more in there without some major overhauling. But you never know!Caught a segment somewhere recently that Penn St.'s ongoing renovation pushes their stadium capacity to the top dog in CFB.
Interesting. Would be kinda funny if they passed Michigan given how much UM cares about this. I could see Michigan repainting the seat numbers closer together on their bleachers to add capacity to get back to the top.
Speaking of capacity, I'm hoping we hear something about renovations to Memorial Stadium soon. I get the sense our AD is pretty tapped out with the FB and MBB roster expenses, which keeps increasing significantly. But, I think they're working on it.
@walt542 once. And I agree. If I recall correctly they have fiddled with the seat number spacing before. But yea, I can’t imagine it much more cramped.

I still have the renderings from when HOK offered several design options when Greenspan was the AD. The North End looked nothing like it does today, so we obviously went a different direction than what they originally imagined. Part of the issue then was the notion of moving premium seating to the East side, which would’ve necessitated some traffic and parking changes. The footings are there to lift the East Stands, since they were already in place when we ran out of money during the initial construction.

Not sure how they get there since that’s another 5,000+ seats. Not impossible but very unlikely they can get past Michigan Stadium.

Oddly enough, a poster named ORDFAN made this same claim about renderings on the old site. Hmmmmm.

Oddly enough, I doubt you’re able to show any evidence of that, but I do love my stalkers. Of course, I pointed out something regarding IU sports that you knew nothing about, which isn’t exactly a rarity. Are you still mad because I put you in time out on the old Peegs board? LOL

#1. There's a good chance I saw those HOK renderings from Greenspan's era before you did.
#2. I'm not sure I ever posted on Peegs. I remember you (Ordfan) from the previous few iterations on this site/its predecessors.
I’m still not Ordfan and I guarantee you’ve never seen the renderings I’m talking about. What was your name on the old Peegs?They are definitely working on it. They hired HOK to come up with a master plan for the stadium. I imagine they’re still raising money. Sounds like it will be in phases.
