STADIUM: Construction Updates

[UAalum72]

And.... the camera stops at 1:00.

 

Not as exciting, but they were also putting insulation and paneling under the floor of the suites and press box.

 

The white backhoe at the north end was also pulling up the curbstones of the sidewalk near the lacrosse field.

AH, of course it stops at 1pm. Done purposefully, perhaps? Don't want to give it away just yet?

I wish the webcam was in 10 or 15 min increments instead of 30!

 

Heck, it should be streaming live

The one thing that does kind of stink is how large the sideline areas are going to be because of the soccer pitch size. It will take a little bit away from the spectator experience being that far away from the benches and the sideline.

 

Hopefully the pitch on the seats is steap enough for everyone to get really good views though.

Just wondering...what will they do around the perimeter...will they just put down more green turf without lines?

The seating and view has to be beeter then what we had:

 

Low seats

 

Huge apron before the fence around the track.

 

The track and the the sideline

I'll bet the view in the stadium will be better then what we had

Patch, what you didn't like the double lane access road and track at the old field? LOL...

Agreed. Not complaining - just pointing out a slight negative.

Green turf that has outside soccer lines as well as the player boxes for football.

Love the gold. Love the purple. Phase #1 a good beginning. Can't wait for even bigger and better.
