Hey look! A Bird!


No really... a bird almost flew into the camera.

Is that why the picture is blank this morning?

Camera 96 has been down for about a week. I think they had to take down 1 camera because of streaming issues. The bandwidth coming from that server couldn't handle two different feeds I don't think with hundreds of viewers.

Camera 95 is operational though. There hasn't been much going on though the last 24 hours because its been pouring rain off and on.

If you all have anyone break into the stadium to do some damage, like JMU students did at Kidd Brewer years ago, you have probably got it covered, doubt they would make it out of the parking lot.

After a week of almost torrential rains construction is back going again today at Paulson.

This was Boone yesterday. Be thankful. 7" of rain the last few days. Most anyone can remember.

The east coast has been absolutely soaked. I can't remember another time when it rained almost every day for 2 weeks.

As soon as I clicked the link, I could smell Eagle Creek.

LOL.........I played at GSU back in the 80's and Erk used to bottle that water and we would have a little deal before some of our away games and he would spinkle that water on the other teams field. We all knew it was not magic but everyone bought into it anyway. Watching that old man tell the stories and sprinkle that water got us pretty pumped. But you are right!! That water wasnt and isnt the cleanest stuff in the world. We used to walk through it after thursdays practice sometimes. We won alot of games. Maybe the water did have something.

Making decent progress on the construction. Seats going in place.

While the camera is better than nothing, that looks like it is being streamed through a first generation flip phone camera.

Surprised at the progress that has been made though given all the rain the south has gotten this summer.

I guess they have about another month before work stops and the 2013 season starts. I am assuming during the week between Sat. games work with continue on the Football Operations Building.

Is the home side getting a swating expansion as well or just the visitor?

Just the Visitors side at this time. All the new seats on the visitor side will be desinated as students seats because the seats are being funded by a student fee.

There will be a deck added to the visitor's side after the 2013 season.

Capacity by the time we get to the 2014 season is supposed to be 25,000 but of course there will still be some "grass seats" so I am thinking we could get 28-30 thousand in there.

Can someone post a picture? I can't get the video feed.

Steps have been removed from the Bishop Building.

Make sure to fill those new seats up.

Those seats are going to be a welcome place for the students that have been sitting in the grass. The football operations center is going to take some of their space up too, so there won't be as much of a choice.

With 15,000 actual seats and an average attendance of about 19,000 during the 2012 regular season, the new seating is sorely needed.
