New Addition
Will Overhang
Part Of Track
Plans for a permanent con
crete stadium addition enclos
ing the south end of Memori
al Stadium were revealed by
the Board of Regents last Fri
day. The 12,000 seat addition will
be built right up to the end
zone and over the cinder
track circling the field, ac
cording to University Business
Manager Carl Donaldson.
Donaldson declined to give
cost estimates or discuss fi
nancing arrangements for
construction.
The addition would bring
the permanent seating capa
city of Memorial Stadium up
to 43,000, not including the
bleacher seats at the north
end of the field.
Donaldson said that engi
neering studies should be
completed within two or three
weeks, and that authorization
for bidding on the project
will be asked then.
The new portion, according
to Donaldson, win be of per
manent concrete construction,
and built over the track area,
bringing the seating as close
as possible to the playing
field.
The portion of the new
seats that will cover the track
will be removable so that it
will not hinder the Univer
sity's track program.
The new stands will be sixty-five
rows high, approxi
mately the same aa the east
and west stadium stands
without the balconies. Access
to the new stands will be via
the raised practice field,
which will eliminate stair
climbing for fans.
Donaldson called the new
seating plan "very satisfac
tory" because it offers seats
of regular stadium size which
are expected to be sold on a
reserve seat basis by the ath
letic department.
Although he did not give
the details of removing con
crete seats from above the
track Donaldson said that the
matter had been checked
with Frank Sevigne, Univer
sity track coach, and found
to be satisfactory.
Donaldson said that the
bleacher seats at the north
end of the stadium will re
main the same. However, if
a construction similar to the
one proposed for the south
end was installed on the north
end, the stadium will have a
seating capacity of 55,000.
The Regents took no action
on increasing the reserve
seat ticket price from $4 to
$5. There has been some
speculation that a price in
crease will take place.
