East Carolina Director of Athletics Jeff Compher did not have any photo evidence of the plan to expand Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium at Thursday’s Board of Trustees meeting.
That did not dampen his enthusiasm for what has been labeled the Southside Project, a multi-million dollar undertaking highlighted by premium seating additions — suites, loge boxes and club seats — on the football stadium’s south side.
“We are beginning to get an idea of what that project will begin to look like,” Compher said. “I’m excited about it. We have this philosophy that we don’t want to add more seats, we want to add better seats.
