There are no corner bleachers at Rynearson. The stadium was designed so that the ends of each side of the stands angles in at the goal line.

Love and Honor must be referring to Peden Stadium with the erector set corner bleachers... 03-lmfao
I actually like Rynearson Stadium... Definitely need to update or replace press box along with eliminating the track...Major plus is - parking for tailgating is close by and usually free... 04-cheers

Rocket and Ken are correct.

The 'base stadium' was the west side, sans the corner sections.

The NCAA mandated 30K seats (this may have been late '80s) and EMU added the east (visitor) stands and added corner sections on each side to bring the seats to 30k.

The Convo was designed to complete the horseshoe, if that is what someone wants to call it.

I think (if it comes out correctly) shows the 4 sections added to the press box side and also were built into the other side to get to 30K with symmetry.

If we could get 12 - 15K in the press box side + say 3 - 5K on the visitor side it would be an awesome sight.

I believe EMU needs to re-do the track in years ahead. I'm lobbying for a new color.

I like red (I got red running shoes on now) but not for a track inside a football stadium.

BTW, I've heard estimates of costs for a new press box. "Knock your socks off." If anyone thinks they can get a new press box for 5 - 10M. Think again!!

Toledo renovated the whole Glass Bowl with a new 3 story 1100 seat press tower for 15m... Of course that was 30 years ago... Now the same redo would be in the neighborhood of 80-100m...

Just try and get a deck built onto your house and how much that has skyrocketed in the past couple of years.

Okay. The estimate I heard was between 10M and 80M. Does that shine any light? No? 03-lmfao

Not many years ago, UMass redid their press box. Think it was in the 10 - 15M range. Can a UMass fan verify?

My bad on terminology, I meant the corner grandstand. In my proposal it wouldn't make much sense to keep those stands with how far they are from the field especially if the track were removed. Also it would be aesthetically appealing if the grass hill were extended in its place, the whole stadium would feel more intimate. Though if I recall EMU has a quite outdated press box so that probably takes much higher precedence than my little scheme.

Definitely not a good time to be doing any projects with the high inflation and scarcity of materials.

Definitely a good time to be doing a project if you need a job.
