Will their be a small section for away fans behind the opponent's bench, surrounded by Orange Krush? That's something I didn't really think about before.
Yes, there will be.

Those are for the band members, their area is smaller than before.
Reminds me a bit of the Soldier Field renovation with building around the existing structure.
Lets hope people like the result better... It seems to me that the design firm is trying to go more "classic" than the glass/metal that is the "UFO" portion of soldier field
Thats because we already had a UFO to built around :thumb:
I've heard soldier field called a sombrero before. I thought that was kinda funny.
Please excuse if it has already been asked and answered, but will the orange on the court be updated to match the new hue?

My question: Even with the height difference between the 2 sections, will the standing students in the new orange sideline seats obstruct the blue premium seats behind them? Guess we'll find out tonight

We should really be doing a better job of managing expectations. It's still a construction zone over there, the place isn't "finished" by any stretch of the imagination. The seats are done, that's pretty much it.
Definitely had to deal with this quite a bit when I was in Krush a few years ago. I used to sit on the sideline across from the Illini bench and security would come over and tell us we had to sit down all the time. We'd generally listen until something big happened again (read: a made shot), then we'd stand back up.Blue hairs will riot if one hair on the head of a snot-nosed student is in their way, but the students could care less if they are in each other's way.
Does any know when looking at the TV will the Illini bench still be to the right or will it be on the left now closer to the tunnel?
Yeah, that has been the big question. Without lowering the floor it seemed impossible, and the renderings made it look like this would be a huge problem.
However, the risers that the student floor seats are on are much shallower than the renderings made them look. Not much height difference between the seats.
Which is a smart use of the space. Blue hairs will riot if one hair on the head of a snot-nosed student is in their way, but the students could care less if they are in each other's way.

I'll admit I'm worried that some students will still barely be able to see the court due to the how gradually the risers go up.
