Bears Club reserved seating will continue to be offered to season ticket holders with modifications to accommodate variations to the seating plan for the temporary bleacher layout, according to the release.

Cronic, said he doesn’t believe the temporary seating and construction will affect attendance in the 2019 season.

“My understanding is that it will be near what it is now,” Cronic said. “I want [fans] to be here,” Cronic said. “Be here, be excited. We have the best atmosphere in the country. We need that and our players feed off that.”

Cronic said the field will still be open for use through the summer for camps and other events. The bleachers are blocked off and everyone is asked to stay on one side of the fence and away from the home bleachers.

“As we celebrate our 100th year anniversary of football and our 10th year of men’s and women’s lacrosse, this circumstance presents a timely opportunity to build on the storied tradition of LR athletics Between the Bricks,” Pate said in the release. “We remain committed to our traditions of tailgating and making the game-day experience a destination for our community and visitors.”
