And while standing there Got to watch the last of the East side come down. Amazing how fast it is going. Watched a demo crane shift change too. New guy walked up and basically fist bumped and swapped seats and kept going like nothing happened. Impressive to watch the operation.

Ah ya I walked right by ya then. I was wearing a brown sweater w/ jeans. I left to go to my daughter's dr apt or I would have hung out a bit to watch that but left before they made that far over. They might be darn near done with west side already at the pace they were going.

If anyone could snag a brick for me I would be forever in your debt

About to head over if I'm successfully I'll get you one

There was a pile of them near the west stands next to the gate

Someone grab my boy Punk a brick. He's jonesing for one.

BTW my 7 year old was playing around on the walkway between the stands and the field toward the end of the VMI game and she picked up several pieces of mortar / concrete that were loose and laying around. She gave a piece to some hardcore fans that came around us for the post game celebration (lower section 118) and their level of appreciation was awesome. Don't know if they were just being nice to a 7 year old or if they were really really psyched in that moment ..... Either way it was cool.

I was going to get a plaque for this, and I still might, but the button tells the story.

East Coast Demo way ahead of Macson. Come on Macson, pick it up!

Does East Coast have the contract for the east side and Macson the west?

I think the way the lighting was shown in the renderings would have made any future vertical additions to the stadium more difficult/costly.

Yes and Macson is moving at a snails pace compared to East coast

East Coast has a facebook page and someone on there has been very helpful answering questions.

Agree and I like the aesthetic of the new lights much more then the renderings.

I think the owner of east coast is a great bridge boy.

Haha, thanks for looking out. I'm brickless in vculand, but I did get a piece of the broken stadium from your daughter, lol.

ECD is either trying to earn Ballard's respect and business or the other company just sucks. ECD is nearly done at 10:30 this morning.

I watched a shift change with them while there. Dude walked up to the rig and they basically just fist bumped and swapped with no direction without skipping a beat.

Excellent!

I was really impressed with ECD too. They are rolling! I was watching a few nights ago and Macson looked lost. Earlier today however, I saw that they are nearly done with the Westside. I feel like maybe the Westside was most difficult to demo for some reason
