Fenway, do you know if the balcony concourse expansion will be completed for the 19/20 season?

Will any of these improvements affect the attendance in a positive way? Looking at the attendance for teams around the league, there are a few teams that average over 100%. Maybe @Fenway could chime in on how that happens (I was guessing standing room)?
TD Garden Prepares For New Scoreboard - The Faceoff
The home of the Boston Bruins will soon have a brand new scoreboard. Before that can happen though, the old control room must go to make way for a brand new video control center.
Just days after wrapping up production of game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, the control room of TD Garden has been gutted.
I'm sure this is earlier in the thread, but:
TD Garden Legendary Transformation | TD Garden
The "Back Row Bar" on the 301-side will be there, as well as expanding loge and balcony concourses. They're both listed under "Starting next season", which is fairly vague. I seem to remember reading or hearing something that made me think, "Oh, there's more space starting at the start of 2019-20", but I might not have been reading the fine print. And, of course, as with any improvement project, there's bound to be delays. When they redid the loge (summer 2014?) and the balcony (summer after that), there was definitely some residual messiness during the preseason games.
As far as restrooms, they do say they're putting in "additional restrooms throughout the arena". Again, it could be anything from a Port-O-Potty up on 9 to ACTUALLY doing things to solve the restroom issues. (Fun experiment: It's possible to go to the bathroom and not miss any action if you time it JUST right during a TV timeout, and you're in 304.)
They've already started some very preliminary work - if you look on the 301 side or the 1 side, they have some of that...I want to call it particle board?...set up. First noticed it during the recent 6 game homestand.
So Jacobs sold the team?The major expense is the control room and they are not skimping.
Latest I hear is a 4k re-wrap of the current structure with the main video screen 20 feet wider and minus a ring for next season. There are limits to what they can do because of the height of the roof.

My biggest beef is probably in the control room area. I've seen the video screens in other arenas that have a sub-screen that includes which players are on ice, with their TOI and G-A-P stats in the game. This would be the bare minimum that I'd hope for. If it's a technical issue with software controlling a certain number of screens, then I get it. But if they're using every square inch of video screen outside of the four main screens for advertisements, they need to seriously rethink their plan. At the very least, alternate player stats with advertisements to get people to look up - I honestly haven't looked at the two giant rings around the Garden in years, nor have I really looked at the smaller rings above and below the jumbotron. I probably would look at them if I thought there was a chance I'd see something interesting like in-game statistics or player milestone facts.
This is the feature I'm looking forward to mostPlayer stats will be on the new board updated in real time
The old board had the capability of doing it but the numbers were too small - The Celtics did it anyways
I thought the Garden roof was too low to have a scoreboard that large?The old scoreboard was dismantled today

While no information has been released on the new scoreboard yet, we have unconfirmed reports that the new scoreboard will rival Detroit's in size. If this were true, here is a look at the size comparison between the current board and what the Red Wings have.
Garden HDX Dismantled - The Faceoff
I got moved to 301 row 13 next year. I'm afraid I am going to accidentally watch the game on that giant screen.
