They set the pile up to drive it into the ground and on the first two smacks, it slide right into the ground like 25-30 feet! Soft ground? They fused another pile to that one and it slid another 20 feet, but that last 30 or so feet took a beating from the piledriver. It took like 20 minutes to get that sucker where they wanted it. On the west side, the layout for the concrete casting is underway. You can see where the first of the two massive stairway towers are gonna be. Pretty cool watching this unfold!

Now, on to the juicy stuff.
I’ve heard from a good source that the east side stands will have more piles driven into the ground than the west side for future expansions. This makes sense because if you look at the renderings, the light poles are still much taller than the east side stands in phase one. The north end zone will be replaced next because of now rigdily it is. My source didn’t elaborate too much on that.

Hopefully after next season (North Endzone) and then get the new scoreboard as well.
