I was quite upset that the entrance and exit to Memorial from the south end of the stadium were closed. After seeing these renderings and assuming construction begins sometime after this Saturday, I’m no longer upset. That area will be a construction site. The new football center and the south end zone rebuild look absolutely awesome.

Best thing I heard out of this is "beginning with a 300,000,000 million expansion." Strongly implies this is just phase one. Also made another statement later saying "these initial projects represent the beginning of our boldest chapter yet."
Can't wait to see these and phase TWO!

These look awesome.

One nit... if they are going to close off Jess Neely, I would think they would expand the first base line. Seems like a massive opportunity to get either more premium infield seating, more foul territory, connect outfield to infield, or maybe all 3.

Somewhere along the line, I think the words "Closed to through traffic" were leaked out.

Taken to mean - still ok for delivery trucks, opponents bus, pedestrians. To take step further, not sure how much room that would leave for increased baseball facilities. I would love to see more infield reserved seating myself. Maybe they could even give the whistler his own outfield section where nobody can hear him.

These are good points. I'd love to see a walkway around the first base side to connect all parts of the Hawk. I'd also like to see the sight lines of the right field foul territory and the foul pole enhanced for television. Right now, balls disappear from view if they are hit in that direction.
