STADIUM: Construction Updates

[UA_MA_2000]

It will be glorious to be there in 5 or 6 weeks weeks to open it up...

 

25 days to the women's soccer game vs. Syracuse. Why wait 5 weeks.

Santillo is saying on Twitter that those games won't be played at BFF.

Those are DEFINITELY flag poles...and it looks to be the same number--as Danefan pointed out earlier--of teams as the CAA Football league has members. The dirt patches by the visitors side look to simply be what will be a landscaped grass setup.

The main flagpoles for the north end zone are ready to be assembled now.

A new video was posted. No comment on the production quality ..but I love the shot from Western Ave. You really get a sense of the scale of this thing!

Looks like we'll start seeing a lot of sod being rolled out.

 

I think this will have a huge visual impact. The other thing that I'm very interested to see is that the plans call for all that chain link fence to be covered by graphical banners. That should be very cool as well.

 

Not sure we'll see much more than that on the webcam any more.

Top rows of handicap seating, signs on the roof, big "A" logos on the tower walls, and the Stadium Sponsor's name - which BTW seems to be later than expected.

Landscaping too. I looked at the plans again and they call for a lot of trees, shrubs, etc.

 

Not exactly "steel for the upper deck" but then again we'll be there in about a month for a freaking game!

Probably a month away from successful planting of trees and shrubs.

Right on time.

Any timeline projections for when season tickets will be mailed out? I would think in the next 2-3 weeks.

"Sod City" behind the Visitor's bleachers...things are looking good.

 

(And a little morning football practice in the background to boot!)
