Is it not possible to tear down and rebuild the bleachers, I wonder? That's the only issue that I really see personally. Or is it a matter of the structure being grandfathered in but new bleachers couldn't be built? I don't know if the steepness of the bleachers is an issue similar to Mankato, but I feel like they could build back farther on the west side and turn that roadway into a dead end and walking path only. It's different from Mankato to me, where it seems like there's no other choice than to reorientate the field in order to make a change.

It was more of a question wondering if anyone else had heard the same thing I was hearing. I don't believe anything has been formally announced by the conference. I believe that will be the scheduling format, but am not 100% certain. I thought I had already seen someone in the NSIC announce a nonconference game for 2025 and 2026 but I don't recall who that was now.

It's been at least a year, maybe two, since I had more details...at my age, a lot can be forgotten in that time! I'm pretty sure it's a deeper issue and involves the land the stadium sits on. I'll do some asking and get my memory in gear!
I had also heard at one time, since the bleachers were a WPA project, there are some historical things that have to be considered.Millsy

I don't really know a whole lot. I know when they turfed the field, I had heard they wanted to build just on the Campus Side and maybe around the NW end zone. That would leave a view of Diamond Point Park and the lake in place. But, that is going on 12+ years now.

That being said, the Chet was funded during the WPA era by the federal government, but does not appear to be a WPA project nor can I find a record of it being a "historical place" (officially) - so at that point it's probably just up to the administration on what to do with it.
