Are there going to be lights mounted at the south side of the stadium too? I’m only seeing posts on the north. I’m curious more than anything.

im starting to think the light emanating from the scoreboard is what is lighting the southern half of the field

My wife commented the people in the horseshoe might be glad for the extra shade but it might not feel like a difference with the bright lights on the back of their head

Question about bringing a stadium seat. Does anyone bring their own and what kind do you use? I looked it up and the site says 16” wide in one spot, but also says 16x9 in another. I can’t even find any that exist that are only 9” deep. I want to bring one with a backrest but need clarity on what fits.

My guess is 16x9” is the size of the bleacher seat itself. We tend to sit with our backs roughly at the rear of the bleacher and hamstrings out in front? I dunno about the rented seats.

Maybe somebody else recalls how the rented padded backrests are positioned with respect to the front/back of the bleacher? Centered? Flush at the rear? And how deep are they? I’d guess at least 12” or so.
