I m still chewing on the announcement by Oregon State University that enough donations have been secured to move forward with the final phase of their remodeling of Reser Stadium. It’s been a long slog. The east side was upgraded in 2005, with further improvements following every few years. The latest proposal, which will finish the job, is tentatively scheduled to be ready in 2023 at a cost of $150 million. The 2022 season seems likely to provide a stern test, given that the west side still will be under construction with a capacity that remains to be determined. Ah, capacity … there is another issue. OSU officials say the new Reser will be “right-sized” at somewhere between 35,000 and 39,000. That is down substantially from its peak above 46,000. OSU is not alone in green-lighting stadium redos that lower capacity: Cal, ASU and Stanford all have done so. And Stanford went from 85K to 50K, potentially a huge loss of revenue.
