AuburnEagle79 2,167 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 You should see the field now. I don't know how they are going to have it ready for A-Day. Goal post to seating, seating to 10 yard line is dug up about 5 feet deep. They are replacing the 8" terracotta pipe that runs underneath. Aaannnnddddd a lot of those seats in that endzone are gone. Welcome to Construction, please excuse our Auburn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
channonc 466 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Apologies if this has been posted already. I just received this email this afternoon regarding the NEZ renovation. Dear North End Zone Season Ticket Holder, As we approach the April 1 football ticket priority seat selection period, we wanted to take a moment to update this group on the potential North End Zone renovation project. We felt it was important to provide you with as much information, as we know it today. There will be no change to the North End Zone for the 2016 season. The Auburn Athletics Department and Tigers Unlimited continue to evaluate the feasibility of the project and the interest from the Auburn Family. We truly appreciate your patience as a ticket holder in the North End Zone. We want to assure you that we intend to provide frequent and timely updates to this group as they become available. We know how important the gameday experience is to the Auburn Family. We encourage you to reach out to Tigers Unlimited staff members if you have any additional questions or feedback. You can contact us at TUF@auburn.edu or 855-282-2010. War Eagle! Tigers Unlimited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I read sometime back that work would start on the North End Zone sometime after the 2016 season ended. Is that still on the mark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keesler 5,924 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Feasibility studies are currently underway - they're still trying to see if the Auburn Family is interested in this project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win4AU 4,052 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 whatever they do I hope its executed better than the jumbotron. After all the hype this summer you can imagine my disappointment when I couldn't even see the screen from my seats. If you're thinking about sitting in the south endzone then I'd recommend sitting as low as possible. I'm not sure if it was an oversight or if they just accepted the sacrifice of 5k for the way it would appear to 80k. you couldn't figure that out beforehand? There were plenty of renderings,progress updates, photos, videos, before the season even started. This ain't your den which is probably a disappointment as well. I joked I was going to get a sunburn on my neck before the season. I realized I wasn't going to have the best view but I didn't think it would be unwatchable. Im just glad I don't sit on the last row or I'd be completely under it. Im not sure you'd call my van by the river a den but the reception on my rabbit ears and the plush carpet are pretty comfy.

A decision has been made to put a hold on the project indefinitely for the time being. JJ does not have the support for the project he thought he would. ....and all very predictable. Another good WDE prediction from back in December. Jay sending out another survey just means Jay does not want or have the support to build this expansion so don't get your hopes up just yet. I'm guess the PTB don't trust Jay to build this and Jay sending out another survey will be a way for Jay to say it's not needed. Yes, JJ is a master in the art of delay. Now well over a decade on this project, from the "Master Plan" to the "North EZ Project", JJ has no equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because as a university President, you want to see your Athletic Department make money, graduate student-athletes, and stay out of the NCAA microscope. President Gouge see's that his Athletic Director has been able to accomplish all three and he is apparently satisfied with his AD's performance resulting in Jay Jacobs' most recent contract extension.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 When it comes to adding more seats and doing other things to make Jordan-Hare look better, we have been behind the 8 ball as long Gouge is allowing Jacobs to remain AD and call all the shots. I too feel like we are being "Left Behind" further and further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LKEEL75 2,566 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 If JJ was working in the "real world", he would have been fired long ago for some of the things he's done on his own. I hate to disagree with you here, but... If JJ was working in the "real world" well he would have been promoted to OC by now. In the "real world" people who have a history with a business and have lot's of support from within the organization will get promoted when it is finally discovered they can't do their job. And when they can't do that job, they are promoted again. So by the end of this year either JJ will be one of the highlights of AU football or he will be our AD.

doc4aday 1,887 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Question.... Will this result in expanding the total number of seats in JHS? I would love to see it expanded to over 90,000 seats. This is something I think we need. Why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
