Scoreboard? The footings are in.

Those look like seat backs to me.

It's sitting next to the ticket booth, betcha its seat backs

[danefan]

I was just guessing. Wasn't in front of the webcam.

 

I thought the seats backs were suppposed to be yellow though.

[danefan]

Definitely looks like some kind of seating.

 

I wonder if it's part of the upper deck.

Makin some progress this weekend

Not only working on the upper deck on Sunday, late yesterday there was a line of markers laid out at the back of the visitors side, so I'd expect more visible work on that side soon.

 

And just like that, I don't think anyone will question that this will get finished on time; it's still three months until opening (football) night, and within a week or two it may look like only peripheral or finish work to go (even though there may be a lot of interior stuff in the suites and the towers)..

The last 10% of a job takes the longest. Tons of finish work in a project this large.

Oh, I know. But with the upper deck and the visitors berm in, we'll know what it will LOOK like, just needing the scoreboard, seatbacks, sidewalks, landscaping. Most of what's left - wiring, plumbing, equipment, and interior walls and decorating- will be out of view of the webcam.

Went to campus today and took some pictures. First set is of the sidewalk area behind the berm. It also looks like they have put in drainage on the curb area on top of it. Might be where the team comes down onto the field from?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Walk way for visitors.

 

 

 

Drainage and curb is reduced at this area on top of the berm... .near the lacrosse field.
