    What does this mean.....

    "Currently, we have the lowest percentage of seating in the lower bowl than any stadium in the country," Banner said. ". . . Some of the upper-bowl seats will become lower-bowl seats."

    They will charge you more money for the same seat? Also it looks like they are adding a lot more add space....

      Seating will go down to just over 68,000.

        Anyone else a little annoyed at the added fans in the pictures showing the future renovations? It made it a lot harder to actually see the changes to the lower sections rather than saying "oh, hey, this new picture looks pretty".

          It means they're going to take about 10-15 rows of upper bowl, strategically demolish them, and add them to the lower bowl. It's not a tough job, if it's done right.

          It's similar to what Oakland does on a regular basis, but much more permanent.

            What I see, primarily, is that they are taking away those 3000 seats in order to construct more billboard space for advertisements in their place. Perhaps, yes, the scoreboard will be enlarged.....but the ad space will be increased by a far greater degree.

            I mean, this is just a fucking Peggy Lee announcement: "Is that all there is"?

                It was made cheap to begin with. It was always a bare bones stadium. I do admire Haslam improving on it.

                      If they triple the size of the video scoreboard so that replays, highlights etc. can be seen much better, then I guess it is a fair trade if they also use those boards to show ads during down times......and, hopefully.....it is that ad revenue that pays for the improvements. And not the ticket buyers/taxpayers.

                        Unfortunately, it's going to come out of the taxpayers and ticket holders pockets up front. I would expect a fair price hike for the foreseeable future.

                        I'd be willing to pay an extra 20 dollars per game if it meant we'd have a contending team and a nice stadium. I think that's a fair trade.

                          The stadium isn't going to change that much.....I mean, your seat is not going to be wider, longer, softer. The vid vid video might improve.

                          And Sherrod Brown is probably going to push a bill that since so much taxpayer money is being used for these private businesses, then the blackout rules are going to have to be eliminated, and that all games must be broadcast regardless of the sellout status.

                            I'm just glad to see that Jimmy is still alive and tanned. Haven't seen him in any owner box shots in a while.

                                Just making fun of the fact that he always looks like he stepped out of a tanning booth. Jimmy is still living the good life, and I am good with that.

                                      The brass has said over and over that the helmet won't have a logo, even if the team does (and it's rumored to be the brownie). They've also said that "The Browns" will obviously continue to feature brown as the primary color. In fact, they've said the color scheme (brown, orange, white) will remain the same.

                                      It'll be about design. We've seen some really cool stuff. If you really want the Browns to be just like always, Marion Motley wore a white helmet, not an orange one. Sipe wore orange pants while Hoyer wore brown. The shade of brown has changed a dozen times. The stripes have changed even more.

                                      The notion that we've always worn the same uniform is wrong.

                                      Yup... and as the background in the Haslam vid shows, once-upon-a-time we even had numbers on our helmets... 😮

                                          "Currently, we have the lowest percentage of seating in the lower bowl than any stadium in the country," Banner said. ". . . Some of the upper-bowl seats will become lower-bowl seats."

                                          It means they're going to take about 10-15 rows of upper bowl, strategically demolish them, and add them to the lower bowl. It's not a tough job, if it's done right.

                                          It's similar to what Oakland does on a regular basis, but much more permanent.

                                          Um, not as easy as you make it out to be TC, a least not for the sideline seats. Been there, seen that. I've always said the el primo seats in the 100 level are the last 3 rows of the lower deck. They're under cover, and you can literally knock on the floor of the 200 level owner's suites. If you were going to extend backward, you'd have to knock out the back walls, and re-do the entire 200 suite level, raising it up. The other alternative would be to drop the field playing surface as they did at Ohio State. But don't forget- the Stadium was built on a landfill, and being right next to the Lake, I'd have to wonder where the water table starts at.

                                          One thing I really hope they address- it's my major peeve. The stadium was constructed to conserve as much of the "feel" of old Muni as possible. That meant keeping the narrow walkways behind the stands. Hello, welcome to sardine in a can city before, after the game, and during halftime. Go into any other modern NFL stadium, and those walkways are 3 or 4 times wider. I'd be willing to bet the space behind the stands in Cinci's Paul Brown is at least 150 feet wide.
