This is the best picture yet of the new campus changes!

Trinity does have a much larger visitor stands area, is that complete and if so how many rows are there 5?

I hope that isn't complete or to me at least it will mar an otherwise stellar stadium. That looks like something you'd see at a A or AA county school not a 6A Metro area stadium. I realize your game vs Trinity won't be played here but games vs teams like Male, Ballard, Manual, and others will require much more seating on this visitor side than that. If the JV and Freshmen games vs Trinity are there every other year they'll require more seating than that as well.

The ball was seriously dropped on the visitor's side. Seems a problem surfaced too late to change it, so we had to make due. Home stands will be fantastic, but the visitor's side is pathetic. Thankfully I won't ever have to sit over there.

I think one advantage Trinity had with respect to the visitors stands (especially financially), was that we could simply move bleachers that used to be on the home side over to the visitors side. The same with the vistor's pressbox. I know that X had a pretty big set of bleachers already though. Are those incorporated into the new design in any way?

RM, no, we only have 4 rows of visitors bleachers. They built the stadium too close to the cemetery, but the track had been laid by the time they realized it, so there was nothing that could be done, other than reduce the bleachers.

The reason is that by law you have to have so many parking spaces provided for seating capacity and they did not want to waste the spaces for what, a couple of decent crowds in those stands a year. Also they could not go up as that is a retention basin behind and MSD would not let them put pillars in to support a taller structure. So sacrifice must be made and the visitor bleachers is what caught the brunt of that deal.

I'm quite sure they have more parking than us.

The visitor stands at Marshall are as new as the home stands. The old home stands could not be used because they didn't meet code.

If there is any such code about parking/seating capacity, Trinity must be in violation.

Right...the had a gap between the seat and where your feet go..

I'm quite sure they have more parking than us.

 

Our capacity is also 53% greater, so we need that extra parking.

^ seats? How many seats are you going to have?
