Big steel raise is happening now to link the two towers for the jumbotron.

All stadium lights are now up.

All the concrete columns have been poured for the east side upper deck. From stadium drawings it looks like the rest of that structure will be steel.

Guys, I’m getting concerned. I still don’t see a scoreboard at the north end of the stadium. I’m thinking protest...

The east upper deck steel rise has begun. The red crane just placed the first angled row support.

Thanks for the pics!

The one section of east upper deck steal support was only up for a couple days. They put up two risers and connected them with three steel cross beams. Wondering if this was a mock up or if they saw something they didn't like.

Were there any unsportsmanlike conduct or unnecessary roughness penalties during their visit? Asking for a friend.

I'm sure there was. Then the O-line jumped before the snap, we had 17 men on the field, and we called 4 timeouts.

The east upper deck supports are going up again in the north east corner.

I like the creative comparisons at the end of article.

Lots of progress in last couple weeks:
1) East upper deck steel install has begun.
2) Southeast pedestrian ramp has gone up quick.
3) They built a stairway to the top of the jumbotron in an attempt to lure me to sneak in there and rappel off the top.

Anybody got recent photos from the inside? I see the upper bowl is being built.

Its about time for some new pics from the media. Would be nice to see some of the progress inside the press box and locker rooms.
