Nippert Construction Updates
Old press-box gone, and a tour underneath Nippert Stadium... Back in the days when Nippert was condemned (literally) and rebuilt the first time (in the 80's), the team used to have their locker-rooms below grade, underneath the stadium bowl. Literally a dungeon-like experience. Also, there main Campus steam-generating plant used to sit just north of the north endzone (where the Linderner Center and Varsity Village now sit) and you get to see the massive amount of utilities and infrastructure that prevents the playing field from being lowered any further.
All-in-all, gives a great look at everything that goes into renovating a historic and land-locked structure...
