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

Avoiding safety upgrades is somewhat disappointing

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

Build it at Provo High.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

There's no demand for structural safety on campus

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

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