2024 Seating Changes

[hoopsupstate]

It’ll be close, about 5”, but it won’t be connected to the other building because it’s considered a historical building.

They’re going to have to seal that five inches with something or there will be a major water problem.

Yes they are doing Miron as well, and it's very behind schedule unfortunately. It will be very disappointing if it's not done by the season

IIRC, it wasn't supposed to done by the season. Completion date was like November.

The historical building they just gutted and renovated?

I know its been discussed but I kinda lost track. Is there any thing that really gives any details if what the new court area would look like finished other than a big atrium area.

 

[penzly]

They’re not good for sight lines in first row aisle seats. I don’t see any apparent changes to design since spring game, but who khow’s. It’s that little rise which really affects the aisle views

The very seats I lost in the process. Serendipitous?

Good work. Looks like not much work on the Miron Victory Court...but tons of progress inside. Wonder if they allocated resources toward that or just issues on Miron.

Looks like every seat is wrapped in plastic. I hope there is a huge bin to recycle it. We could probably make a 1000 tailgate tables out of it.

No internal renderings were released.

Just the outside renderings with the updated permit application with city.

"Sala said the school wants to complete construction on Bob Miron Victory Court, which will serve as a connector between Archbold Gymnasium and the JMA Dome, ahead of the 2024 football season"

I also found a quote from Sala saying that he thinks work would be happening through Game 1. Obviously that's not the case anymore

Idk when that quote was but he did an interview during the Spring game that said November.

Right, but that wasn't the initial plan. The construction has been in progress for a while

they must have some unknown issues to get delayed on what looks like a pretty simple build

Meh, it's a little clunky. Maybe take out one of the 20s. It's subtle but I think it will make a big difference.

Being in the construction management field (and you may have that background as well!), I will say, everything is typically more complex and difficult then what meets the eye. Especially with tying into existing buildings etc. but, to the eye - compared to some of the massive projects going on (like lally) I agree it seems to be in a hold up stage of sorts due to something. I’m sure they will make tremendous progress in July and August.

I usually get 3 tickets and my brother gets 5. We have had 5 in one row and 3 behind us since the late 90s. We want a similar situation. My brother is looking now...I can't until later today. He is saying that they are not giving him a choice online and seats will be selected for him ??? My understanding is he should see a map that shows available seats. Sounds like he is not seeing that. Any advice? I get to look at around 4 today so I want to be ready. Obviously, being this late, I am not a big donor etc. but have had my season tickets since '92. I know that carries no weight but I also don't want to have seats selected for me.

 

[upperdeck]

I have not heard of this. if you dont pick when your time opens it just waits

The seats are not selected for you

Once the time slot opens up you can go in and select seats.

If he has all 8 seats in his account he will need to call a ticket rep to put them into 5/3 in different rows as the program they are using doesn’t have the ability to split the set of seats up

I would have thought the bigger issue would have been the driving of the pilings, perhaps the entry into the dome cutouts, or as you said the attachment at the roof level. not of it would me specialized equipment to delay that. Looks like the floor had been prepped in some pictures as well.

Thanks. With the help of a rep, he was able to get his seats. User error on his part.

Surprising that seating software cant divvy up seats, but then TM does strange things all the time

Awesome glad to hear


Most of the reps have been exceptional thru this process

 

[OrangeXtreme]

If you have 8 seats, instead of selecting "QTY 8", has anyone tried selecting "QTY 4", adding 4 seats to the cart, then repeating for the other 4 seats one row farther back?

When was that quote you posted? share a link?

I'm trying to get a timeline down to pinpoint these possible issues. (slow day lol)
