'Our House' campaign aims to sell more UA football tickets

Byrne and football coach Rich Rodriguez last week appealed to fans to buy more tickets at Arizona Stadium, part of an “Our House” marketing campaign. Capacity at the stadium will shrink by about 600 as chairback seats are installed in the middle level, east side, of the stadium. Byrne said it would be “four to six years” before full renovation of the stadium begins, but added “I’m trying to give myself space there; we’re trying to be aggressive with the timing.” This is aggressive: Byrne said that Hillenbrand Aquatic Center, once home to Frank Busch’s NCAA powerhouse swimming teams, needs an overhaul. How much? “About $10 million,” said Byrne. Gulp.
