I'll take off work for a day if they let us have a walk through.

This is steeped in awesomeness.

So how do they attach the dragon head to the turf underneath and avoid it being a tripping hazard?

Gorilla Glue?? Spray Paint? Hologram?

WOW!! that looks terrific!!! Gold UAB in the Endzones and BLAZE at the 50!

It sure is nice seeing a practice field that's not a big mud pit after the rain y'all got today!

This pavilion is probably the best out the box idea the athletic department has ever had. I'LL give most of the credit to Clark. There's always more than one way to skin a cat.

Enlarging that photo, it looks like they're making great progress on the grass practice field as well.

Isn't the old/current building in the way of the grass field/

My understanding of the construction sequence is the coaches need to move from the old building, then existing building/parking demo., then they can work on the grass field and sand volleyball courts.

I think they're moving the volleyball courts to the barns n noble across the street and increasing the grass field to a full sized field

The sand volleyball courts are still going where the football building parking lot is located. Other things will be located where the OCS was planned thanks to our administration. They want to build there for obvious reasons.

That is unless something just changed. Who knows with our AD. He is the smartest man in every room he enters.

So, he only enters empty rooms?

Any word on timeline for this stuff? What about completion of the soccer stadium?

No I haven't asked. Not on my radar. Last I heard we still need to raise some. Obey for soccer.
