Solid progress on the expansion

I'm going to miss the high school bleachers.


Just kidding, no I'm not.

 

[GhostOfJackie]

Looking good. Any idea on that part (if any) will be open for the upcoming season? I heard they are going to try and seat students in the new section as a temporary home that will replace the bleachers.

The structure of the seating will be in place for the students. Not sure if the bleachers will be installed but that's the plan for next season.

What about the jumbotron that had more blown bulbs

than ones that were actually working?

 

[gtowndawg]

Considering it's been winter, they've made great progress

further along than I would have thought. But I have no idea how stuff like that works anyway.

I'd be more concerned with progress under the west side. *

Another pic I saw on Twitter yesterday:

That's what LT should have done to begin with. The metal bleachers were embarrassing.

Did I miss understand?? I thought the end zone would tie into the east and west sides... It doesn't appear it will.

 

[gtowndawg]

Wondered the same thing today when I saw the pic...

Someone? Anyone?

I'm pretty sure those are just access tunnels for locker rooms and field equipment. Most stadiums have them.

 

[engie]

Sure it will. Those are the field entrances...

 

[BigMotherTucker]

Makes sense... Thanks for getting me off the edge.

 

[CadaverDawg]

Sure it will. Those are the field entrances...

This picture makes you feel good about our football program. That looks badass.

Sure it will. Those are the field entrances...

Is the new jumbotron supposed to be bigger than the dawgzillatron?

 

[engie]

I'm not sure... Looks wider but not quite as tall to me...

Think Stricklin has been quoted saying it would be identical in size to the other one...

 

[HughJazz]

When it is all said and done in 2014.. Are all the students going to sit (hopefully stand) in the end zone like every other school?

 

[dawgstudent]

I would think they will just move the students down some. I bet they get from the 20-25 yard line and most of the endzone seating if not all of it.

Those 50 yard line student seats are gone.
