I was hoping it could be hidden.

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

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......

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.

Hey Helmut---I am just thinking about the number of times I have gone up and down that tunnel------It is gonna be safe with the new weight etc????

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.

Lol sick of the Emirates yet?

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.

They have access to the pump room form the tunnel. If a pump needed to be replace they could have built a bigger access in the tunnel wall. Not that they will need the extra seating above the pumps, but it would look better with seating there. Than maybe they will have it covered with seats......From the construction camera it looks like they might be nearing an end to the dirt work.

Well that's good. I was afraid they would find the plaque.

[Frenchie35]

Is it just me. I find it strange that they level it then they start digging more trenches....

hey Frenchie----I mentioned on here the poster on the fence with what the end zone project could look like---Could you get a picture of it to put on here---if it looks like this I will be happy but I couldn't see what the rest rooms or the concessions looked like!!!

[Frenchie35]

This is what you want Boom??????





More leveling.





Rebar ready

I can see Boomer on the field with his gray beard and beret. You see yourself in the future Boom?
