I think people are underestimating the footprint of the new stadium. It takes up the current space plus 1/2 the east lot or more.
We need a over head drone shot of the space.

West parking seems unchanged. Rotating and so east parking looks new.Of course the press box comes down while I'm out of town. I missed the most excited part of the whole demolition. With that process nearly complete the preparation for construction is ramping up. There's basically a parade of dump trucks to/from the site as they're doing the excavation. As @Max_Power said, the area they're excavating extends well into the East Lot. Does anyone know where exactly the stadium will sit within the footprint? I can imagine they'd want to move it East from Ashland, but they probably want to preserve as much parking as possible too.

Slightly confusing thing about this plan drawing is that the Proposed Stadium label is inside the dotted footprint of old stadium.

Looks like it butts right up to WRA.

Thank you for this. I would recommend to all to follow the provided links and take a minute to look at the plans and the layout for the stadium itself. This link is to the best level by level drawings of the stadium showing seating, bars, locker rooms, clubs, boxes, etc. that I have found included in the group: Stadium DesignWest parking seems unchanged.

Just wait until there is a 100 foot tall structure across the entire lot.Very weird to see that vacant lot.
This stadium is truly incredible. Love the amount of suites and premium seating. And the recruit lounge!Thank you for this.

It's interesting that the orientation is different from Dyche--I wonder if this is because of sun lines or just fitting it on the lot?Just wait until there is a 100 foot tall structure across the entire lot.
Considering the shadow of the roof, would the new orientation be better in late afternoon fall games?It's interesting that the orientation is different from Dyche--I wonder if this is because of sun lines or just fitting it on the lot?
That's what I'm wondering. If so, good move.Considering the shadow of the roof, would the new orientation be better in late afternoon fall games?
The plans show 301 parking spaces in the new East lot, 176 in the North lot, and 875 spaces in the West lot (which does not appear to be reduced by the new construction). Does anybody know how many spaces were previously available?I think the sun for the most part will not be a factor for the players. Enclosed, more vertical, roof overhang. I am not sure grass would grow so great even if NU wanted a natural turf field. The field was skewed IMO to solve some geometry with now a completely enclosed stadium with seating all around, decrease the perception of mass along Central and create a plaza area along Ashland.
