Where will the home fans sit while the west side is being torn down and rebuilt? Lawn chairs behind the team bench. I doubt the side switch would be Permanent but the press box would definitely have to be rebuilt on the east side. Now when they rebuild the west side, they could put a new press box up there as well and have the visitors press box on the east and the home on the west. But they have to displace the home fans for at least 1 full season.
With attendance now a days, you could easily demo the west side and still hold the crowd on the east side.

why must a press box be built on the east side? Other than temporary. Just rebuild the west side to have about 70 rows of chairbacks and a row or two of suites and new press box above. Similar to what OM has now.

Because a project like that would take 2 full off seasons plus a season. Games will be played during reconstruction.

Well, DWS was second to none for the ASU and UTenn games in 2025. It was a fantastic atmosphere.

In 2002, if we had money to totally rebuild, it would have been cool if we built a 60k seat new stadium similar to a euro soccer stadium with all seats covered. Would have been unique for SEC football.
