structures on both the east and west sides of the stadium; the end
zones will remain open. The structures, which will stand 10 feet higher
than the current scoreboards at their highest point, include 83 suites
and 3,000 club seats</i>.<br /></blockquote><br />Construction is phased over the next three years and will be completed prior to the 2010 football season.<br />
