Last week, I had a discussion with our friend, the exceptional source at NU. As the discussion progressed, he said he's seen the latest images of the inside of WR construction. I was surprised when he said he was shocked how far along it is. He's not one for hyperbole.

He said he knows the arena is not near completion, but to an untrained eye, it looks very far along.

Anybody know if these pictures are hidden away somewhere but available for public viewing?

BTW, he said he's been told the timeline for next season is not a problem at all.

This is from October, shows a lot of steel work on the inside and they are pouring concrete on the second level. This is from Mortenson construction's facebook page and showed up with some others through the magic of googling Welsh Ryan construction photos. On another note, they are putting up the brick on the exterior. The southwest section is already done if check out the NU video feed.

A few weeks ago I was talking to someone in the Athletic Department. He said WRA would definitely be ready for next season. He said something like that a lot of the interior sections, like the seating bowl, were being built offsite so they can be installed much faster than if they were built on site. So fours games left at AA then burn that place to the ground.

It would not surprise me if the new WRA was done before Taj Fitz!!
