Expansion of Rutgers Stadium
A story on NorthJersey.com suggests that Rutgers is considering an expansion of their 41000 seat stadium based on sellouts this year that have arisen from the success of the Scarlet Knights; the story by no means suggests that these plans are imminent, but merely suggests the fact that Rutgers officials may consider doing so. I was struck upon a visit to the stadium in 2004 that the stadium renovation that took place in 1994 clearly was carried out with an eye to the future. As can be seen in the picture below, it is clear that there is significant space between the lower and upper decks that can be filled in at a later time with luxury suites, a club level, or a mezzanine section.
