Stadium to get red seats again

By Times Staff
Published March 22, 2005


TAMPA - By August 2006, those pink seats inside Raymond James Stadium will be red again, the Tampa Sports Authority announced Monday.

The TSA sued Hussey Seating Co. in January when the manufacturer said it wouldn't be able to replace all the seats and repair the stanchions by June. The TSA gave the seating company from Maine two weeks to respond after filing a lawsuit, the authority's executive director Henry Saavedra said.

"The good news is we have a signed settlement agreement through Hussey," Saavedra said.

Installation of the seats and cup holders and paint repair is set to begin Feb. 1, 2006.
