Passed by today, things are taking shape. Will be quite interesting to see how it looks on season opener.
I think what this “super structure” will show is just how big the upper deck actually was. It never seemed that big because the visual from congress, or anywhere not in the stadium, was of just the upper deck. Monroe’s upper deck is a monstrosity as well and if the swamp wasn’t 2’ below sea level Cajun field would have looked just as ridiculous as Malone. I know you’ve seen the overlay of the new stadium on the old and basically the top of the new structures highest point other than the lights is basically where the bottom of the old pressbox was. Much smaller and closer to the field. Those club level views will be fantastic.Quote:

I would imagine that it will primarily be businesses buying the club seats. Whoever it is, I hope they get soldQuote:

They had to be off the field by this week so they were focused on trying to complete as much as the lower stands as possible since it is more efficient to pour from field level than pump from above. I am not sure if this has been mentioned but the retaining wall on the sidelines has been pushed in 10-15' to get more room on the field. They will do similar on east sideline.
Far enough for soccer purposes?Quote:

It would look so good if we put 14 flag poles on the visitor side and put the flag up for each school. I always love that lookQuote:

Is the upper deck only half completed? Looks off center and much smaller than pictures. Is it being built in modules?
It’s not even halfway built.Quote:
