Stadium
- Thread starter tluck28
- Start date
Not sure if others have mentioned but they are having the game day crew at Grawmeyer hall on campus. It shouldn't affect game day festivities, but I'm sure during the broadcast of the game they will show the start of the expansion.
It looks raw, but massive as hell at the side of the field, lol. Who cares what people think. It takes time to build $55 Million worth of stuff.
I rode past the stadium yesterday. It appears like they may have the scaffolding finished on the west tower where one of the two plasma screens will be located. They will be a demanding presence once completed. The east tower probably isn't even 50% up.
Side note, what are you guys doing with the silo property? Have to say what can be seen from I -65 looks great. Always get a good feeling when traveling down south to my in-laws in Nashville and see ACC signage.
If things keep going the direction they're headed, the silos may very well be our new, on campus, BB arena.
Long story.
Probably because the soil is contaminated underneath and has to be treated/remediated before another usuage is permitted.
You don't play your ace-in-the-hole until the right time. Building something on that site reduces your bargaining power.
That same thing was true under the north stadium expansion. It's just a cost you have to build into the project...
Ok smarty pants. Ralston-Purina was actually the source of the leak of hexane which caused the sewer explosion in 1981. I was on my way to work down 2nd street when manhole covers were being blown sky high.Soybean juices? How contaminated could that be?
As long as people are willing to pay to park on gravel and U of L can administer it.
Quite honestly, does U of L still maintain any parking areas at that specification? It used to be the standard. If the long term plan for that real estate is still up in the air, I don't think you're gonna see asphalt...
