Just saw this on Twitter...

That space makes a little more sense but you sure can't tell there's that much room from the first pic ..... still begs the question, why?

Although, AT&T stadium has some ground level real suites with just as bad views but I'm guessing a wee more opulent ...

While the mockup designs look like the cabanas are right on top of the end line of the end zone, Seeley said they are well behind where the photographers stand, they are padded and have passed all safety requirements.

 

GOL was padded and had passed all safety requirements, too. Look how well that turned out.

Hope our kicker next year can get his kick out of the endzone.  Would really love to see us score a lot on them next year and see every single kickoff shoot into those silly "suites".

And if it accidentally hits a UCF booster in the head, no doubt they will try to sue for harm. But hopefully they'll sue the hosting school.

They still won't get any money.  UCF would claim that the "suites" are part of a fair that is a separate entity from the college and their athletics.

Nicely played.

They have all sold out. I would not rent them, but I can see the appeal, although, they are very close to the end of the field.

There is also a special lounge they have created for field cabana owners ( I think 18K-25K  per year) to go hang out in in the A/C, watch big screens , bar I think. The Roth Tower suites are locked up with waiting lists, so I guess they decided to get creative on generating more revenue. They also repriced every seat for next year. Upper sections wen t down, near the field went up. The large Cabana has ben extended down to the field level because it is sold out and those seats as a whole, got  giant reduction, but hey are  absorbing cheaper seats, so the overall revenue $ for the cabana, is up.

Students will now be in both end zones.

That announcer is terrible IMO.

$22K each and all sold out. All chairback seats along the sideline where beer will be sold. Better to own and improve than to rent

They have quietly  announced, that the first group sold out so quickly, that they will add them to the North End Zone as well.
