A little closer view.......

Isn't part of phase I to make the other endzone seating symmetrical? That would entail extending the lower deck to match the student side.

I think it was said that this will be delayed and not part of this 1st phase.

It was supposed to be but I was told that it will be in the next phase

--With all the new dirt in the back I guess they will have that the same level as the top of the stands---but a lot of dirt!!!

Part of the miscalculation of phase 1 costs, Coach? It's okay, sh"T's great round here!

Working around the tunnel. Digging deep, laying fabric and back fill with stone.....don't know if they are placing a drain. Don't see any pipe......

[Bandwagon King]

I was hoping it could be hidden.

They could sell the space for advertising or put a big o UL emblem on it...

The pipe needs to be at the lowest point. That is along the back of the retaining wall around the field. It's all good.

Actually it is better off with the stone than without. If you notice there are two pipes that are across the top of the opening, One immediately adjacent to the very top and another about 1/3 of the way from the top. These pipes were placed not long after the stadium was completed. They messed up on the design of the tunnel and the top of the opening was coming in to a point where they feared a failure. So the placed the pipes to play one side against the other. I understand the structure of the tunnel was a cause of concern in the design of the rest room/concession stand buildings.

Man, it's hard to get sick of this place. It's also hard to believe that I've been out here for 8 months already.

You'd be surprised how many people from Louisiana and Texas are here. One of my professors is from Metairie, and he had brothers that went to Lafayette High.
