Did I hear Sala correctly

[upperdeck]

I agree. painting/sealing during the install should be done.

It's a fancy bench where people won't be sliding in extra people. It's also going to cut down on the row surfing that used to go on to get to your seats with the backs on them.

Also, it will prevent hillbilly VA Tech fans from changing their baby's diaper on the bench in front of you because they are mongrels with zero class.

I am still trying to recall when the survey came out that we requested seats. Cup holders on the other hand.

Someone asked the rep about cup holders on the seats but they will not be installed since it would have further reduced the capacity.

Will the seats help the acoustic issues?

The rep said they can be added later.

Can't hear you.

I think the new seats will be attached to the concrete where your feet currently go. The benches were attached to the row behind you.

I’ve heard that it will

 

[Rufus_13th]

Not one person took a picture of the mock up seats?

Shame!

 

[kcsu]

Just to clarify this...

The seats on the 300 level will be narrower than individual seats on the 100 and 200 level.

The seats on the 300 level will not be narrower than the width currently allocated to seats. I think they will be an inch wider.

The backs will be lower than the individual seats on the 100 and 200 level but everyone will now have back support.

Thanks Tom. I meant that they will be an or so narrower than the seats in the lower levels.

I think I posted a couple of pics I took but I deleted them from my phone and can’t find them quickly.

But tniaam wrote an article that includes pictures of them.

First impressions of the new JMA Wireless Dome seats

My thoughts after taking a look at the physical seat models SU will use in their renovation:

Oof. I mean, again, this is a better option than benches but man these things look cheap as hell and I question how much wear and tear they will be able to endure.

 

[CU44SE]

I’ve heard that it will

I’m concerned the stadium will lose a lot of echo the seats created for the big moments. Noise would reverberate off those benches!!

Probably will

But the new roof is also steel all around the edges and reverberates the noise back down quiet well

Should be interesting to see how it goes

Back support/getting kicked in the back protection

 

[dollarbill44]

Anyone else think the seats might kinda suck?

That sounds like an expensive option.

 

[FrancoPizza]

To mitigate any spacing issues, guessing that could be an additional fold out between the legs.

His baby momma/wife threw the dirty diaper under her seat after she changed the kid...

I had to ask them to take the diaper to a trash can in the concourse and they were offended by the request.

The whole section stank of dirty diaper.

I guess they were used to it and didn't realize it's not normal.

Nahhh What seriously...

 

[upperdeck]

so a market for clip on cup holders has been created.

 

[wiseman3]

Man, these do look super cheap. Whats the point of even having the armrests, they're basically useless

I think they will absorb reflected sound better than the metal benches, so in a mostly empty arena, there should be less reflected sound and it PA announcements, interviews, etc should be clearer and easier to hear.

In a mostly empty arena, crowd noise should be a somewhat reduced.

As the size of crowds increase, it should have little or no impact.

I think the visual impact, especially when the dome is empty or when there are small crowds, will be really noticable.

Regarding the seats, I believe there are two classes of seats. One for outdoor facilities and one for indoors facilities. Seats for outdoor facilities need to be more heavy duty. They need to handle direct exposure to the sun, they need to hold up to extreme cold and direct prolonged exposure to ice and snow, etc.

I think these will be fine for our facility.

By the way, I believe they are the same seats used at Kenan Stadium, where UNC plays (except we are using a manly blue where they have that baby blue those people like to frolic in). Kenan is an outdoor stadium but is far enough south that they rarely have to contend with snow and ice.

These have arm rests. I don't believe they all do, as I don't remember having them in our the seats me and my group sat in to watch SU get decimated last fall there.

And this is what the seats look like at Hard Rock Stadium, where the University of Miami plays their home football games.

I think we chose wisely.

My biggest concern, is I have sat at Keenan stadium which did a reseat and retro fitted individual seats into their stadium from aluminum benches, however the leg space at Keenan stadium in the 100 level was absolutely horrible and was extremely n uncomfortable for me.

Really hoping that we have a little more room in the Dome

But I’m not optimistic
