Seating or how many tickets will they sell?

16,500 seats last year = 28,000 average

16,500 + 4,400 for 2008 should mean that ASU could see crowds of 32K.

Add the club seats and boxes for 2009 and ASU could see a homecoming or WCU crowd of 35K.

Not sure if the demand is there for that many though. It's hard to know what the ticket demand is as they cut off ticket sales to all but one of the regular season games last year. I'd say 30K+ easy for the first home game though.

I'm sure it's been answered 100x, but will this be ready for this year?

The seating expansion should be completed for opening day this season, with the boxes and new press area completed by next.

but the press area part of the thing behind the home side is expected to be workable for the season

The press area will not be ready for 2008 either. There will be a box located at the top of the new East Deck that will house press and game day ops for this year. For 2009 the new building on the West Side will be done and the East box will be turned into a suite.

Thanks for the great pictures. There is still a lot of work to be done and only 3 and a half months left.

i'm surprised it's taking so long too. Granted the griz expansion is a little less expansive...but it is nearly completed with snow, rain, wind, and all.

The West Side building has taken forever to get going, but the East Side seems to be moving quickly. They didn't really start work over there until Marchso its hard to complain too much. Hopefully we'll start to see some steel going up in a few weeks.

I think the reason the KBS project is taking so long is how much earth had to be moved to begin structural work. Two large areas, behind both the east and west stands, had to be leveled before construction could begin.

I know this makes me a goofball, but i had to watch it fours times and each time I got chills. I like the band music playing "Eye of the Tiger." Let's get ready to RUUUMMMBBBLE!

I felt the same way yesterday afternoon. Just wasn't sure where to post it. Knew everyone would be whineing if I made a new thread. Good idea thoughxthumbsupx
