Dave Brandon Talks Another Big House Expansion
Freep - Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon has talked recently, including Wednesday, about a facilities master plan the athletic department is considering. One element involves expanding Michigan Stadium at some point. Brandon said capacity could grow by another 10,000 seats. "One of the things that I’ve said publicly I’d love to do, at some point, is close in at least one of the ends, and that’s all part of the master plan for growth. The south end of the stadium would be the place that we would start, and if we were to take the bleacher system up to the top of the scoreboards, which would be even with the elevation of the East and the West towers, create a concourse that would afford fans the ability to get from one side to the other. It would take the total capacity up close to 119,000, maybe even 120,000."
I don't think more seats is what the Big House needs. I'd much rather they put a bubble over the top of that mother and trap in the sound. Played hockey in one of these growing up and the atmosphere was electric.
