Ole Davis Wade Has Come A Looooooong Way In 5 Years

I can't wait to hear how loud the Bells will be upon completion...
The noise level should be substantially louder. I can't wait. Not to mention from a pure astetics point of view. Vastly improved.

With the success we should have next year and the noise level from the bells in the "new" stadium, Stricklin might as well get ready to go before the SEC aGAIN and beg to keep them. They only seem to bother anybody when we win and I`ve got a feeling they`re gonna be a real problem for folks next year.

It's amazing how much better the place will be come this September....like Bart Scott...CANT WAIT
Come along way since 1986.
The first game of 2014 with the positives starting the season should be unpresidented.
I read somewhere that Georgia Tech is going to build a new stadium. If that happens, we will have the oldest stadium in the nation.
Getting Old!
Hmmmmmm, I knew I was getting old but come on man....1989 photo in black/white...really? I was a sophomore that year. Reminds me of a quote of my youngest...."Dad, were you alive back before they invented color?" Nice, Rhodes Scholar may not be in his future after all.....

Optical Illusion
to me:
Last game or two, I seemed to think, this place looks a bit smaller to me,( now that it is being closed in.)
I like it.

Is the brick going to go all the way to the top? We need to cover up that terrible façade holding up the upper deck.
Wikipedia agrees.
A 1986 expansion costing $7.2 million, raised without state budget appropriations, added almost 9,000 seats, consisting primarily of a 5,500-seat upper deck

The best part about this expansion is that it looks like it seats 75K when in actuality - it's 63K. They were very smart with this expansion even if it's not symmetrical Wicked Pissah.
I think it's safer to say we will increase by the same seat amount and not the same percentage. I would expect by year 2035 - we will be a shade under 80K.
And think how far its come in the last 15 years. The other night I was watching the 4th quarter highlights of the 99 Egg Bowl and had forgotten how small the East side looked before we added the skyboxes and the upper deck there.
Damn you!...
Now I have to go to Youtube and watch it (yet again) and spend the next hour or so watching other clips that pop up...and end up Wallacing on the floor in front of the fireplace.

LOL! I might pour myself a big glass of chocolate milk and watch it again tonight too. Hehe
Seems like I recall it took a couple years to build that west expansion too. I think they started construction after the 84 season and completed expansion of the lower deck, quarter deck and press box area. Then over the 85 season they finished the west upper deck. I recall each home game getting to the stadium and marveling at the work done up there. Obviously there wasn't any web cam or Internet pics back then. Also sometime along that time a state of the art monochrome scoreboard was added. Which had cool displays, such as "nice catch!" "Defense" and so on. It was awesome back then.
