This one (still on UP) might be more fitting...

... the conversation accidentally spilled onto this renovation page the last few months.

 

I haven't been able to find any other good forums on the topic, but there is a decent subreddit for Queencity SC that hasnt been very active.


P.S. I enjoy the topic as well haha

There's the BigSoccer forums.  Within the USLPro section we have a couple threads.

Not much outside of what you find out on the UP though.

 

Maybe I'll see some of you there on the 17th ready to join the supporter's group!

barf.

 

If they have to remove seating, they should also raise the field so there isn't a 20 foot drop between the first row and the playing surface.

 

I don't know, it's a cheap and easy fix to the problem. Losing 3500 seats puts capacity at what, 14000? Are they still going to play big HS football games here?

From the presentations a few years back, the goal with all renovations was to keep the current events and add new ones.  I think this plan is a variation of one of those options, so I'd expect all the football games, band competitions, etc. to remain.  My main concern is that if they use a turf field, as has been indicated, would the design include permanent lines for soccer, lax, and football all on one print?  it will probably look pretty busy.  Most of these questions will probably be answered tomorrow though at Hooligans.

So renovations will begin as soon as they can figure out how to finance ~$4mil between the team and county. Hopefully they will be complete in time for kickoff.

And 600+ season ticket deposits already... Not bad.
