What will happen with the old Press Box?

With the completion of the stadium renovations next year does anyone know what the University will be doing with the remnants of the old press box after it is removed from the stadium? Be it seating, bricks, signage etc?

I think that we're all hoping that they do that. Who on here wouldn't want to buy an old seat from there? And even if I can't get something slightly pragmatic like and old seat, I'd still like something to remember the press box by and just to have as Michigan memorabilia.

And stools. But I haven't been in the press box in more than 10 years.

The Univ has said it will save the art deco lettering atop the press box, but, to my knowledge, will demolish the structure itself.

That's a great idea. They would definitely make tons of money from it. It would be a really classy move if they donated the proceeds to the Children's Hospital.

Haul it off to the dump but keep it intact as a "press box." Afterall, the Freep beat reports will still need a place to sit during games.
