Is the back side of the "wings" to be exposed or will it be covered by some sort of veneer (brick, stucco, etc.) ?

The steel will be exposed. I know some folks feel this looks tacky, but why dump money into something that is designed to be torn down eventually?

Expect much of the exposed steel to be covered with signage - advertising etc, much like we have at Fouts

I'm not sure why this would be torn down. Expansion shouldn't involve the endzone just the east seating.

I have heard that the plan would be the continue the upper bowl, which would require removing the upper portion of the existing bowl to have a completely U shaped stadium.

As I understand it, the "V" is temporary and will be intentionally made to look retro with Fenway Park like green steel supports. Expansion will include a more permanent endzone structure and decking over the east stands.

Ours will have to look better than Louisville's steel-supported expansion deck; anyone seen it?

I don't think so. I think the east seating will just match the height of the west. If they were to tear down the V and build a "more permanent" structure this would require foundation and pier work tearing up the endzone concourse in the process. Also, the endzone seating slope is different than that of the west and east. So this would require the endzone seating to go farther back to reach the height of the east and west and stay on the same slope if they were to connect. But, if yall heard from credible sources then my thoughts are poop.

Since the slope is different, that means all of the endzone seating will be torn out and replaced with concrete rakers to complete the bowl...unless we want it to look odd. The slope of the endzone appears steeper than the sidelines, and rises higher than the east and west sides already.

I am pretty sure you are right that the east and west sides are the same height. It looks as though the student side is shorter, but that may be an optical illusion becuase the height of the upper portion is larger on the press box side, and the lower portion is higher on the student side. We will know for sure once we can count rows in the lower portion.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      There are probably 10 levels of donors and fans for a college athletic program. Anyone from a 70-year-alum always a supporter, to businessman only for advertising, to mom & dad only while son is going there, to corporate CEO wanting a name on a building, to t-shirt fans who just like the Flying Worm, etc. At P4 schools when the AD says they need cash, usually someone Big or a lot of smaller someones steps up. At our level I think it's more difficult to predict the donors and level of donations. I think it's also more difficult to find donors willing to give blindly to a non-specific NIL fund than to a specific building fund.

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.
