The stadium will be undergoing some $321 in repairs and seismic upgrades before it reopens for the Cal Bears’ 2012 football season. But officials say they won’t be trying to correct historic imperfections or those caused by mother nature, including the 4-in gap in Sec. KK, Row 75, Seat 22 where the fault runs through!
