YSU Beeghly facilities upgrade
Penquin68:
As I understand it, the end zone areas are not being modified at this time. Those were redone when Mike Rice came in as coach.
A future plan is to add a room at the north end of the court as a court side entertainment room.

The upper seats will be chair back, but no arm rests or cup holders. Seats will be larger and more space in front for leg room.
Too bad they didn't provide more leg room in the football chairbacks.

I agree on the football chairbacks, couple of years ago when they were adding on to the east side we had to sit on the west side and they gave us chairbacks. I am not that tall but there was just not that much room, very uncomfortable.

I recall when there were floor seats behind the hoop. Cliff Stoudt would sit there.
goodnews:
According to WKBN press release ONLY the wooden bleachers will be replaced as part of Phase 1 starting in May.

I don’t think that story gave an accurate assessment of what is being done.
Read this Trib article that goes in detail of the types of chairbacks for the lower section and the upper section:
https://www.tribtoday.com/sports/local-sports/2024/02/beeghly-center-scores-2m-seating-upgrades/
“The old wooden bleachers on the upper tier of both sides and the existing red seatbacks in the bottom tier will be removed and replaced with new and improved seatbacks.
The student section, pep band and general admission bleachers above the baselines will remain.
Strollo said the new seats will be wider and will have additional depth between rows for increased legroom. The chairbacks in the lower tier will have armrests and cup holders installed into each seat, while the upper tier chairbacks will not have armrests or cup holders.”
