[Brutus]

Is this the first time the lights have been on?

 

 

First time at night. Light level reading required.

Sweet. I noticed that the work started on the back stairwell also.

 

By the way, what are those gray poles near the berm? Any reason they couldn't be buried?

 

Thanks as always.

They are power zones for mobile concession kiosks.

I remember seeing in the plans concession locations on the berm area. Really smart move. Great for the people out there and on the visitors side to not have to walk all the way around to grab a soda.

Awesome...thanks for the info. It does beg the question of what happens after they drink that soda, though, doesn't it?

I remember seeing a "Port-A-Potty" setup in the plans.

On a side note: Hope that our stands on the visiting side are truly "temporary".

 

Look at how "permanent" the visiting side stands are at CCSU. Major difference in supports. I have to think our temp stands are truly meant to be in play for a few years at best.

I think I would prefer seeing people make the walk rather than throwing some Port-a-Potties up in the middle of a $20 million project.

 

Maybe the American Disabilities Act thinks differently, though. (And rightfully so.)

All the more reason to begin phase II as quickly as possible, throw up the double-decker on the visitor's side with restrooms underneath.

Amazing...honestly it's more then I expected looking at the drawings...can't wait to be there...

There are no restrooms at the stadium??!

There are large restrooms on the home side. The comments on porta potties was for the away side.

Saw the marching band practicing today on the rugby field. Looked to be about 25 musicians, eight flag-wavers, and five others marching separately - maybe a color guard. Hope more show up once the dorms open.

 

Also more sod behind the grandstand and in front of the ticket booth.
