There will be a temporary press box in 2015.
The previous press box is under review!

I'm wondering if (or when) we'll get blue chairs in our section this season.

I think I read way back this year, that all of the blue seats would not happen this year.

I think that's correct. In addition, I've had the impression that the blue seats would go in on the west side, but not in other parts of the stadium.

Yep, over in the cheap seat general admission sections, we will continue to sit on aluminum benches, which is okay by me. I prefer to stand and scream.

We sit in section 27. Is that part of the west side of the stadium?

I'm hoping for those blue chairs so that I don't need to haul around our stadium seats this fall.

As I recall, Section 27 is considered to be one of the sections in the west side slated for new seats, but not this coming year.

That's fine with me since I'm happy to wait until a better model is selected, one that allows for better air flow on hot days ..... common on games day in September. ;;)

We get our blue seats in 2016. And without a pressbox behind us this year, no afternoon shade. B-) :9f:

Season tickets were delivered a couple of hours ago..... a special wrapper instead of the usual UPS envelope.

Mine came today too, but I won't see them until tomorrow. I'm in the RTP tonight. Had dinner at the City Club of Raleigh, atop the Wells Fargo building in downtown Raleigh. Very nice! :9f:
