A little closer view.

Thanks

Thanks Frenchie. Did they finish the gutting of the scoreboard?

It's gutted for the most part. Look at the picture above. Weather delayed.

[Cajunjeb]

Thanks.

I would imagine that the concrete walk they have been working on has been torn up with all the concrete trucks and pumper trucks on it.

Frenchie, do you know what the plan is for the structures over the concessions/bathrooms? Are the steel beams getting bricked too?

Nothing planed over the concession/restrooms. That's just a metal roofing. Can't build nothing over that. I don't think they will brick around those beams. They are tapered beams for show. If they wanted to brick they would not have been tapered

It's not in bad shape now. But once they are through using it for cement trucks and loaders it will come up and leveled with a slight slope from the buildings to the stadium seating for drain off. The cement form contractor said that should be in about two the three weeks. He said that it looks like a lot of work, but all the hard work is done. The rest will go fast barring weather that is.

Great, time to start moving the construction crew to the next projects.

Yes, and that is the Student Athletic Center. The project engineer said that they are waiting on the plans to start that part of phase IThey would start it now if they had the blueprints and plans.

Frenchie, I really appreciate all you have done to keep us updated. Can we start a "Frenchie 2016" campaign?

At this point in my life, I just hope I am around for the 2016 campaign. I just want to sit in a stadium I will be proud to be a part of.

Ok, I really don't mean to _____ but is anyone concerned that they are building nice looking concessions and restrooms then throwing a tractor shed over it?

I said this was going to happen before they even started.

The horse shed will look fantastic next to our old, unfinished upper deck on the student side.

Are the steel beams getting bricked too?

I know next to nothing about construction, but if you look at the second picture, they seem to be wrapping the beams with some sort of square metal structure with holes that seemed to be spaced about right for brick ties.

If they brick the columns, the metal roof won't look nearly as bad.

Looks like the uprights on the concession structure will have some type of finish

I didn't notice that, but I will ask the man on the job that knows. It will look so much better with brick veneer.
