Would you ever be in favor of reconfiguring the endzone seating at Michigan Stadium?
Went to the spring game yesterday and no matter how many times I walk into Michigan Stadium I am always amazed at the big cavernous bowl. Got me thinking though how different/neat it would be if the endzones were to ever have decks or be completely reconfigured making the stadium more loud/intimidating. The bowl is extremely shallow and that causes seat views closer to field level to be not as good and for noise to evaporate up. Included a few pictures of what some other schools and venues have done. I really like what LSU did especially. Thoughts?
Only three references out of 150 posts that talked about the design already being done for a second level! I thought you guys were Michigan blackbelts!! While Yost didn't design that second level, he poured the footers strong enough to hold that upper deck. And he laid out the perimeter big enough to hold it. So yes, it was designed with that expansion in mind. But I don't have any clue what the new boxes may have done to that plan. Its possible (probable, by now) that the original Yost design won't hold up if acted on.
And with that in mind, leave it alone. Don't even close on the ends with boxes - I don't anyone saying that our stadium copied Green Bay...
