How many time has Bama updated all sport area? Not counting the video boards? Because, Auburn I can think of them updated the jungle once and that back in the '80?

Not going back all the way, and I may be missing some smaller ones, but we went from around 60,000, then added one upper deck, then the second upper deck that got us to 83,818 I think. Then the first end zone that got us into the 90's, then the other end zone that got us over 100, around 101,800.

I don't know if they've released the actual seat count from this revision, but I think it might put us down below 100. Adding the 16 feet to the concourse is a great idea. I just hate they're covering up all those brick with Jerry World metal.

I feel like I saw a number somewhere and it was around 98,000 after the renovations. I could be wrong, but I feel strongly that I saw that somewhere.

I've seen a few numbers thrown out. I don't think we'll get the number until all is said and done. It was less than speculated in the last update. If you recall, when we first started hearing about the reduction in capacity it included a student terrace.

This.......X 1,000,000 to the 10th power.

This is what I remember too. Last I heard, we would probably be right at 100k.

With the way the college game is going, the arms race of stadium size is not a big deal anymore.

Psh, we couldn't even fill 100,000 with the games we host and the ticket markup from the secondary market.

The initial numbers also included a big jumbotron in the middle of the south endzone upper deck.

Auburn and lsu are only full houses....and there are still lots of empty seats for lsu
Doesnt help that most every one doesnt sell their allotment.....but bama sells theirs for road games...

The tweet reads the scoreboards are 60% larger. I'm not trying to instigate anything, but...are they?

The video boards, their screens, is what he's talking about there. A week or so after the teardown began I posted a couple of picture comparing the new to the old. It's here on the site...somewhere.

Videoboards, yes, that's what I meant. Thanks.
