LJVM Renovation Plans ?

[coredeac]

Why not just post them? Are they super secret?

I'm sure Rafi has them in a desk drawer. Perhaps he'll share.

PM deacphan for a PDF of the plans.

Thanks. These look really good. But Phase 3 is a bit concerning.

Where have you seen these lately?

I bitch about this a lot but we have to have the worst video board in a power 5 conference. Campbell's is a ton better than ours.

Campbell's gym is much better than ours.

According to Randolph Childress at the women's ball clinic last year they are doing some seat reconfiguration as a par of the renovations. No need to rep,ace seats until that's done.

What concerns you? I thought everything was superb! YUUUGE improvements!

They also have better concessions.

They also have better concessions.

No beer though!

I think the big concern is that if the brakes were to fail on the monorail there isn't much to stop if from crashing into the new scoreboard. A lot of that debris probably lands in people's drinks at the brewery below.

It'll take some doing, but with McCreary's current commitment to the program I can see it happening.

Yeah, but how often do brakes fail on monorails? I'm really looking forward to the Joel having that Disney Contemporary hotel feel.

So does anybody know if these are current?

I hope so. I like the pictures. Seems like a nice update to both the interior and exterior. Depends on the students showing up or their section will be much more prevalent being open. Looks like the old video board is gone, unless they just didn't include it in the renders (like the banners which aren't shown).

I wonder what they will do with the concrete memorial posts?

Those are the last ones I saw, the video board is definitely being replaced by those large screens in the upper corners. I think the total seat count is estimated to be somewhere between 10-11k.

If you look in the very top right corner you can see a hint of the banners.

Also think it looks good, but you can't really tell what they're doing with the upper deck. What changes up there are going to knock out ~3000 seats?

 

[Buttermaker]

Students along one side? I like it but wonder what the current occupiers of seats in those few rows will think. When is this projected to be completed?

I'd think that cutting out the corner seats to put in 4 video boards should be plenty to reduce seating that much... would probably take out the equivalent of about 8 sections of seats.

I kept looking for the screens in the corners on my phone but couldn't find them. The mobile version cut off the edges of the picture. So pardon my mistake on some of my comments. Makes sense now that I have the full picture.

 

[ChaosDeac]

The only "meh" aspect I can possibly find is the cutouts in the lower corners. I'd much prefer a more continuous seating arrangement or a smaller gap (tunnel?).
