A little closer view.......

Can this be moved and converted to scoreboard suites?

I love the use of Vermilion & White.

Those sidewalks on the blackham road are loooonnnggggggg overdue. Glad to see them fix stuff like that in addition to adding on to CF. I wouldn't see any of this if it weren't for you Frenchie thank you sir.

I don't recall you ever saying that on here.

You must have missed out. I've been very vocal about my opposition to adding seats when there were much better things we could be spending our money on. I've spent the better part of two years arguing that we should be spending money on things like premium seating and improving the overall quality of our stadium before we add more cheap seating that we don't need in the first place.

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.

We've got the same kind of tractor shed over at Lamson park. It's pretty nice...

Since I sit in the upper deck, where am I supposed to sit when they renovate that area. I thought that was the main purpose of that area while they are putting all the upgrades you speak of.

I'm just going to leave this here:


This is Houston's new stadium. It didn't cost an arm and a leg to build. But you can tell they tried to put a little more effort into making it look nice than we did. It may not be your style, but 20 years from now they'll still have a really nice stadium surrounding their football field while we'll have a barn and a half built upper deck next to (hopefully) a halfway decent upper deck. It just goes to show you that it doesn't have to cost much money to make something look nice.

I'd rather see things done the right way, not the cheap way. I said it from the beginning. Now that it's getting built hopefully some of you will be able to physically see what I was taking about.

And I still can't understand why all the Scott Farmer haters here get upset with me when I mention this. You'd think they'd all be happy to see me bash him.

That's part of it, yes. Let's just say I think there would have been better ways to go about it.

I like the steps, but I don't care for the tan brick on the building to the left or that red and grey looking checker board facing. What kind of material is that? Maybe it will look better when completed.

I must agree Rebel, but we are here now. North Texas, Baylor and TCU all have very nice stadiums. They minimized their endzone seating. Premium seating pays the bills. I still scratch my head on additional seating and no sell outs in 5 years.

I am just glad to see change at UL how ever it may come. Geaux Cajuns

Keep supplying the pictures and we'll keep finding Waldo.

Teamwork makes the dream work!

Seriously, I scratch my head when I see post like this. It's been said many, many times on this board. The endzone seating is in preparation of rebuilding or replacing the upper west side deck. The number of seats removed from the upper deck during that time, means that people with tickets in that area need a different seating area so that they can still attend games and not have to sit in grass. Also, I recommend that you go to the 1st game this year, and don't bother getting your ticket until gametime, there should be plenty, since it's never sold out.
