Drove by the stadium today

[drummerdawg]

Don't know if I missed it but they've started bricking the stadium. And I was not able to get a pic. It wasnt a lot But what I saw looked goooood

 

[RocketDawg]

Very good

I assumed the brick facade would be the last thing they did, but I'm glad they're doing it nevertheless. It's going to look fantastic!

That's going to look really good.

 

[CadaverDawg]

Damn, I can't wait to see the finished product.

Has anyone got recent pictures of the stadium expansion? It's been a while since I've seen the progress.

The brickwork looks fantastic. I really like the architectural style the university seems to have adopted for their new buildings and old ones that are getting facelifts. I think we will have every reason to be proud of DWS when it's all done.

 

[MSUDawg25]

Damn, that's gonna take a shitload of bricks.

You are all welcome for that awewome insight.

 

[Xenomorph]

Zero bricks involved in that process. *

Also to mention, I believe they are running at least 2 shifts working on this part of the stadium. I was running on campus about a week ago around 9:30 PM and there were workers working on the west side of the stadium. Had big bright shiny lights on and everything

Mayor Mary Hawkins approves of this thread

 

[Seinfeld]

Awesome. A reminder of what the finished product will look like

 

[SignalToNoise]

I'm moving slow today, so I need someone to help me out here. What happened to Dawgzillatron in that concept art?

 

[dawgstudent]

Thats the projected version of what it will look like 20-30 years from now. Dawgzillatron is replaced with 4 screens in the corners of the stadium a la Alabama.

here's what it will look like minus those seats below the existing video board. I think those aren't going to be part of the expansion.

 

[YardBarker]

Those are not the latest and final renderings. That was the conceptual studies that populous did before 360 and LPK took over.

 

[TentDawgs]

Here ya go

 

[dawgstudent]

Thanks. I thought it was off a little.

 

[CookieMonster.sixpack]

I don't have anything to add to this discussion other than to say your avatar is superb!

 

[SignalToNoise]

Thanks.

 

[bulldognation]

So remind me again... in those renderings... what the hell are the mini-sky scrapers off in the distance?

[bsquared24]

anyone have a 2011 version of the stadium from the same angle?

 

[RocketDawg]

When they go to 4 screens, I hope they're bigger than those at Alabama. Theirs are hard to see from our visitors' seats, which are probably about 200 yards, or close to an eighth of a mile, away.

 

[RocketDawg]

What does MSJ stand for? **

 

[engie]

anyone have a 2011 version of the stadium from the same angle?

Not 2011 -- but this is how it looked outside of the banners hanging and the dawgzillatron...

Here are some I took this past Sunday

 

[godlluB]

I was involved in a Boy Scout Camporee hosted in the Junction a couple of weeks ago, and on Friday night, they worked until 4:00am (the beeping of the cherry pickers kept me up all night. Thankfully, they quit eraly on saturday.
