There were no blueprints sitting out - I think the crew is winging it.
I asked...
One of them pointed at the Flight Decks and said "More of those."

New conference logos installed in the HRS turf.
I’m letting the ADept do the photo reveal.

Man it's discouraging how quickly that concrete gets dirty. We just power washed all that last year.

They'll power-wash it again.
This is Houston.
That's not dirt - it's mildew and other molds.

Gotcha. I never knew that.

Unpacking and prepping the R-Room Hall of Fame items for virtual display in the renovated space.

Melissa Kean says "...they will be indeed be displayed on those screens. They will be touch screen displays so people can go through and drop down into Hall of Fame and All Americans, etc."

Still haven't learned how any significant and large trophies will be displayed.
There is one "Hall of Fame" room in the new layout, in the SE corner.

SE party decks...

With enough libations, they may not care - about the sun or the product on the field.

Well..... this one grabbed my attention when I was watching it....

Ouch. That hurts.
Structurally unsound? I knew it was old and ugly but structurally unsound?

Is there any truth to that claim? If not, take his butt to court. If there is, why are the Owls still playing there?

There is no truth to that statement.
What you see is solid.
What you don't see is solid too.

Without demand for second-deck seats (other than the Schaffer family) there hasn't been a lot of motivation to make any improvements or do much of anything beyond base-level maintenance.

Second deck - no concessions, and the restrooms are almost as good as they were in 1950.

Concourse level will have renovated and air-conditioned restrooms on both sides, and the usual trucked-in concessions.
The Flight Decks no longer say "Flight Deck" (after the beer) - they say Amerant (after the sponsoring bank), and there is a set of party decks in the NW and SE corners.

Glad to hear I don't have to wear a hard hat to games!

Admin should contact this idiot and get him to take this down or amend it. I'm no lawyer, but this seems similar to yelling fire in an auditorium in the absence of a fire.
