STADIUM: Construction Updates

[UAalum72]

Scoreboard topped off today with more side panels added

[haggyland]

Loving it. So, any guesses as to who the four sponsors on the side panels will be?

 

I have to think SEFCU is a definite.

Then maybe CDPHP?

Maybe Channel 13? Definitely not the Times Union.

Global Foundries?

CHA (Clough Harbour Associates) is one of the suite buyers, but I don't know if that increases or decreases the odds of their name on the scoreboard.

 

Might depend on how much they're charging, and would it fit into the ad budgets of the most frequently-seen locals - Fucillo or other car dealers, law firms, insurance companies, or funeral homes.

There's a ton of ad space all around the stadium too.

 

Scoreboard ads tend to be more consumer driven (car dealerships, medical groups, restaurants).

 

Something like Dunkin Donuts maybe.

Good call with the car dealers and the lawyers; think they will wait until closer to the opening to put the sponsors up?

Pictures from today

 

 

 

 

And I must say looking at the purple walkway again, it really seems steep as others mentioned, you can't even see the purple from any angle unless you're at the other side, that's how sharp the angle is.

 

 

 

Zoomed in on the seating.

I was going to refer you to post #791, but you are too quick-fingered.

 

Sweet pics of the scoreboard; it looks awesome.

Back of the scoreboard.

 

 

 

You can see yellow stairs at the very top of the bleachers..not sure where they will lead to?

Last two pictures...

 

 

Picture of the scoreboard and the field

 

 

 

Back entrance staircase..

[haggyland]

Back entrance is looking nice, but beating a dead horse: man, I hope they put some colored risers on the lower level.

Kind of disappointed with the UA logo at the top of the scoreboard to be honest. For some reason I thought this was going to be more involved, but it's just a "painted on" logo with a ton of white space around it. Am I wrong in thinking this was going to be different? Looks cheap IMO

 

 

PS- agreed on the lower level. Needs some colored risers or something!

Hard to say without a better view, but they could be emergency fire exits, or a separate entrance to the press box, or service access to the suites for the waitstaff.

 

MadDOG, the drawing in post #791 had a free-standing 'GREAT DANES' bracketing the center panel of the scoreboard, so let's wait until it's done before judging.

Maybe they are camera wells?

The steps are for the camera platforms in front of the press box structure. One at the 50, one at each of the 25-30 yard lines.
