Describing the improved fan experience, and the benefit to the University that comes with a stadium renovation like this one, Bob Grace, the Turner project executive on the job said, "This is one of the oldest division - one football stadiums in the country and until now they haven't had premium seating.

He continued, "Every member of the Turner team here, including me, is a University of Cincinnati graduate. Everyone's a Bearcat." Following the renovation, Bearcat fans will enjoy enhanced field lighting, added club areas, patio boxes, and private suites for a total of 3, 000 added seats, enlarged and upgraded restroom and concession facilities on all five levels, updated media and broadcasting areas, a new press box and new elevators. write your comments about the article :: © 2014 Construction News :: home page |
