Piece of cake if we don't get much rain during dirt work. Get a crane to handle materials and a concrete pumper truck to place the concrete. After that it's just the seats. If they would have started at the beginning of the year they would be finished by now.

Really? It's that simple? Also, while I have your attention.... In the phase one information it called out for a small section to be added to the North Endzone, a little over 1,000 seats, to balance the stadium with the student side. Will that be taking place at the same time as the south end zone? It's in the plans, just haven't heard anything about it???

Seems logical to get that section in too. Brings in another 1200 bench back seats with decent sight lines to add to season ticket pool next season. Seats needed when new upper deck goes in the following year

Pretty simple huh? It's not like you're running electrical/plumbing in there. I was told the NW addition will take place at the same time as the South endzone.

I have been told that small section on the north end of the stadium will indeed be included in the Phase 1 construction project.

I am drawing a blank, what all will be included in Phase 1

I just hope they get started. I believe they will. But, first it was spring, then it was late summer, then we heard early fall. Now, post season.

I believe a new day has dawned, but makes me nervous. I'm thinking sometime in 2014 we get started.

Looks like the south endzone will add 5904 seats and the piece in the north endzone will add 1109 seats; adding and additional 7013 for the 2014 season. This will make total seated capacity (not counting the grass) about 38,013. That's a pretty big jump for a quick project.

Helmut ya think the pilings in the end zones have been there since 1972? If so that is a lot of expensive and time consuming work we won't have to worry about. I am supposing pilings are needed?

Not sure but I have been waiting on some union reps to return my calls all week ... I'm sure it's just coincidence.

They looking for Hoffa!

I just did a quick check and it looks like just phase one elevates Cajun Field in seating capacity ahead of: SMU, Wyoming, Colorado State, Duke, Washington State, So Miss, Boise State, and will be about equal with Vanderbilt. And that's just Phase I. You will be surprised with the schools that we will surpass with phase II..........
