Stadium Renovation Plans Announced

[chknwing]

There will be four new bays installed at three entry gates with extra wide escalators in each bay.

 

Two new ribbon boards (approximately 5 feet high) will encircle the entire bowl at club level and upper bowl level.

 

Two new 63' high x 212' long high-definition video boards will be located above each end zone.

 

Bank of America Stadium will also feature new illuminated glass domes on each of the three entry gates.

 

A new high-efficiency, high-octave distributed sound system will also be installed throughout the bowl.

 

Team President Danny Morrison says construction on Bank of America Stadium is scheduled to begin two weeks from today

 

These renovations are phase one of three. The Panthers plan on making renovations over the next three years during each

offseason.

 

The team hired Turner Construction for the 2014 renovations, which are scheduled to be finished July 1.

 

The Panthers plan to build four new escalator bays to bring fans to the upper bowl faster. The escalators can carry 6,000 people an hour, the team said.

 

On top of the escalator bays will be four new “party plazas.” These spaces will allow fans in the upper bowl to congregate, watch games on TVs and have views of the city and uptown skyscrapers.

 

The team will also install flagpoles on the top of the upper bowl that will double as new speakers to improve the stadium sound system.

Unfortuantely I see nothing about the horrible buzzing sound from the lights in the upper deck or the lack of drainage system to deal with the swimming pool effect in the lower deck when it rains. Or some kind of rest room modification to put more urinals in the bathroom.  Cmon, They can do rows or something to add more, 1 wall of urinals per bathroom doesnt cut it.

Anybody know what the size of the current video boards is?

You can see at the stadium where they've started doing the preliminary work for the escalators.  My question is it looks like they end up outside, so do they have a gate before you get on the people movers?  That's gonna be interesting.  I was under the impression they were going to be set up to use after you get inside the concourses.
