Entire 100 level ripped out new precast.. All new rake.. 25 to 30 feet closet
R.. So new precast concrete

 

They have already started ripping out seats.. Season ticket holders my be able to get some of the old ones

 

100 and 400 levels all completely redone..

 

Heres a link dude that will give you an idea of how they make and use precast stadium seating

I'm happy for you DJ. You have been the main proponent on this forum for a renovated stadium and now it appears the work has begun.

Also did you read where the Rams owner purchased land outside L.A. and he plans to built his own stadium and move the Rams from ST. Louis.? It is nice for me to see another owner who is willing to fund his own stadium and not expect the tax payers to pay for it for him.

I hope this is a lesson for all the other cities with NFL teams. If the owner wants the taxpayers to pay for a new stadium or renovations to an existing stadium. Tell the rich owner to pay for it himself. Taxpayers should never have to pay for stadiums IMO. Especially since only a very small percentage of the taxpayers in a city or county ever attend an event in these stadiums.

 

Not gonna lie. I'm pretty excited about this renovation. I think it's gonna be key

 

They said they're ripping out all the concrete. That means theyll have to repour the concrete. The lower bowl will be closer, because they'll be adding more seats.

 

By saying all and then being sure to mention including the concrete specifically, I think it is pretty safe to conclude there is more than just the concrete being ripped out DJ.

 

The new sections will be made of precast....

Heres an idea of what he means...and why they will be closer to the field and with a new rake:

 

No Deej...they seating section is made prefab...and then moved in....they seats are going to be closer to the field by 30-50 feet

 

Its not poured its precast seating sections and then the cranes drop them in place

 

Heres a great PDF that really shows how precast is the way they build modern stadiums now vs pour in place concrete

Garfinkle's tweet explicitly says they're going to rip out the entire lower bowl.

You're getting your wish here, Pal

 

Apparently they're going to be doing something with the seats:

I've already got a cup holder I broke a couple of years ago so

 

He says that in another tweet earlier then that one....said all concrete ripped out, moved 30-50 feet closer with new rake made of precast.

 

wooot....deeeej we are getting that stadium you wanted brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

the stadium when finished will look completely new....modern...and will be reflective of a world class franchise.

Now if they can precast a new football team as well.

 

Why the hell would anyone want those seats? That god damn stadium is cursed!

 

I think you're in a state of denial right now my friend.

You've wanted this so bad that you just can't possibly imagine it actually happening. But it is. All indications here are that the entire lower bowl is being ripped out and what you've wanted for as long as I can remember (2007-2008ish) is happening

 

@MLBcathedrals entire 100 level sideline sections ripped out and replaced w new precast - different rake (angle).
3:06pm - 5 Jan 15

 

The way the picture was taken, it looks to me like they're removing everything below the Club level. Notice how the perspective in the picture appears to have purposely made the Club level almost unviewable, while everything below it is in full view. Had they taken the picture from a different perspective, the Club level would've been much more viewable, and the whole thing would have a different feel.

 

That is sweet. I wonder if all of the empty space underneath will create an echo chamber.

 

thats the tweet Garfinkle sent out

 

100 level is the lower bowl. 200 level is Club. 400 level is upper deck.
