| The Sobe Lizards christened their new state of the art facility on September 15, 2002. Sobe Park is configured in a horse shoe shape, with three tiers of 68,000 seats. The north end of the stadium is open, allowing superb views of the surrounding city. A 13-story tower with a scoreboard at the top and 3,000 bleacher seats at the base, known as the “Lizard Nest,” is located on the north side. Sobe Park was the first stadium to have luxury suites on the field directly behind the north endzone that provides an in-your-face experience. The stadium has a total of 112 luxury suites and over 7,000 club seats. One of the most unique features of the stadium is the overhanging roof design and rainbow tri-chord trusses that rise 260 feet above the field. The roof covers 70 percent of the seats keeping many fans dry during inclement weather. It also reverberates noise created by fans back towards the field making Sobe Park one of the toughest stadiums for opposing teams. Outside the facade of the stadium consists of red brick, brick-accented colored concrete, and tan pre-cast concrete and white painted steel for the roofing supports, blending in with other surround facilities. |
