LES Renovation in the works.....again

Bonoman All-American

Avoiding safety upgrades is somewhat disappointing

BlueBlood

Might as well build a new stadium for the cost of that. And that's not an option

777

I didn't notice that he mentioned a cost

Build it at Provo High.

Fatalplacebo

7/21/18 9:37pm

Take a look at aerials of the current stadium and the Provo High School site,

Skysthelimit

7/22/18 2:23am

True, but it's also unlikely that the stadium would be full during an earthquake

buffgato

An older structure not fully meeting current building code doesn't necessarily mean it is unsafe.

Great news. I hope it happens.

Wish there would be seats in the corners. They really need to make LES more

che flaco

7/21/18 9:27pm

Hopefully,whatever they fill the corners in with has the options for seats later

SUAVO

7/21/18 9:32pm

I don’t think the church wants the liability...

Alister Mackenzie

7/21/18 9:29pm

It's grandfathered though. It's not like LES is the only stadium with seismic

777

7/21/18 9:30pm

Building standards change. What was once considered safe isn't any longer.....

Bonoman

7/21/18 9:36pm

So false equivalency = the Church basically will do what it wants to do with is money and doesn’t need permission....

Bonoman

7/22/18 6:53pm

thanks for making me feel better and safer about not renewing my season tickets

Tell Provo unless they build a new stadium they will move elsewhere.

Florwood

Oklahoma City? Maybe we can get in BIG12 then.

sah22

7/21/18 11:46pm

So the church spent how much on a mall...

Coug

7/21/18 9:52pm

i mean, did we even fill it one last year?

coltonbyu

7/21/18 10:27pm

Yes. Fill in the corners. When was the last sellout at LES? LOL.

Regal Ute

7/21/18 9:55pm

Did you read past that point? The filled in areas won’t have seating.

Coug

7/21/18 9:59pm

The other upgrades would be nice.

I'd be happy to agree with you with out the sarcasm you injected.

The Church is worried about cost. Signed City Creek mall.

Seasider

7/21/18 10:53pm

I'd imagine City Creek is bringing in more money than LES

Ya gotta spend money to make money....

False equivalence makes for good posts? Ok.

Dilapidated? No. The Key Bank building was built in 1980 and was class A space

CallingDingo

Yes, dilapidated. The vast majority of both city blocks needed extensive

Megamind

7/22/18 3:11pm

They may not have spent over a billion...

Coug

I worked downtown around the time Keybank was demolished

BigBlue04

7/23/18 9:09am

Did you go to any games last season? There was no appeal to being in LES either.

Pimpin4Paradise

You can’t just look at ROI on the stadium. This is the

And our quest for mediocrity continues. Would be nice if BYU wanted to be great.

HarlemCoug

7/21/18 10:53pm

Why is the church leading it as opposed to BYU? Seems very strange

YIsForBrigham

7/21/18 10:56pm

This is normal. The church paid to have DT removed and the new buildings built

Nat Gas Man

7/21/18 11:11pm

You always hear "the new structure can't touch the old structure"...yet they...

There are no earthquakes worth mentioning along

Isn't that one supposed to be happening sooner than later?

There's no demand for structural safety on campus

yahtzee

7/22/18 12:21am

However, that school up north and its bball coach have high demands for safety.

Any large-scale renovation better include replacing the awful bleachers w/seats

I seriously question the validity of this report. Here's why:

His post sounds more valid than yours.

coolblue

My response to the other guy applies to you too. Unless you are going to back up

Skysthelimit

I think these opinions are backed by life experience and logic

You're actually wrong about quite a bit of this...

Skysthelimit

What do you disagree with ? He seems very qualified to dispute your ideas

coltonbyu

7/23/18 6:50pm

I can attest to several of these things. I meet with the building department

Nat Gas Man

A facade upgrade would be great, and is badly needed.

Flyski

7/22/18 7:27am

Millions of dollars on facade....yeah, that's not happenning

WJCougar

7/22/18 9:47am

If they do anything before they replace bleachers with real seats, it's a fail.

Not once have I ever thought about the stadium collapsing.

Do any reconstruction over four years. Tear down the East Stands one year & rebuild w/ box seats & bleachers w/ backs

If I die in an earthquake in LES will I go straight to the celestial kingdom?

The structure made it through the seismic event of Luke scoring the winning TD

That was 17 years ago. 17 winters, summers, rain storms, etc.
