How do you enlarge the construction cam pics so much? Sorry for the stupidity of this question. But, thanks!

The rebar reinforcements went up this a.m., they were in a pile laying there late yesterday afternoon Guess we'll start seeing "Moulds" for the concrete around them soon?

I know this has been discussed several times, but I can't quite remember the verdict. Is any of the North end zone area supposed to be available for seating by the beginning of the season? I know that a lot of people assumed that from some of the AD's early communications, but I just can't see how any of it would be safe enough to use by looking at this pic of the current state.

He tweeted several people that students would be able to sit in the north endzone. I don't know how many but I'm with you, it seems like its a long way from being safe.

Im sure it will all be explained in the video they are putting out next week. But im sure we will use the lower part and fence off the top part.

They are putting in rails and bleachers for the lower section right now.





They are running 24 hours now on the endzone for the first time, so things are about to happen twice as fast. My guess is that they try to get the lower bowl skeleton built all the way across, then clean that lower concourse and allow students to use(at least part of) it...

They might have to move that play clock. Not that the veiw will be great from there, but the guys sitting on the first row wont be able to see ****.

Exactly. It's not hard at all to fence off a construction zone and shut construction down during game days.

I'm kinda expecting the old chainlink fence to come out in the next week or so(not needed anymore) -- in which case, the play clock would probably be mounted to the wall... I'd bet on that if they had poured the base concrete in the gridiron club and done anything for a front rail through it -- but do we need a rail there if there aren't going to be people there?

Well then. They have 4 weeks left and are working 12 weeks worth of time in those 4 weeks. Heck...they may finish this thing.**

Seriously though, plenty of time to shape the place up by game time, Sept. 8. I was involved with Trustmark Park's completion and on March 15, 2005 most people would have said, no way they have that thing ready for home opener game day, April 17. Was good that the team opened the season on the road 4 10 games though.
