The Tigue is a special place

Did they stop at the current level due to weather or is this about the height you thought they would stop to let the mortar cure? Thanks

It rained after lunch.

All this talk about cup holders makes me wonder if y'all go to the games to drink or watch the game. Just sayin. I think there are some old seats near the Cox building. Maybe you need to go take a look at those and compare. Just sayin again.

The answer to your question is unequivocally BOTH. DRINK BEER AND WATCH BASEBALL. They are one and the same.

Is there a limit on how high they can go on stacking the red bricks at one time?

Yes if they stack too fast the mortar doesn't have time to set up.

Supposedly the cheap seats at the cajundome had issues with the cup holders. Idk (the seats in the first 6 rows don't have that issue)

Duh!!!!!! Helmut knows his construction but we gotta teach him a few things about baseball. :-)

can see the brickwork today

[HelmutVII]

If you check the close up construction cam you can see them using a pole. This is the story pole. They use this to make sure the brick courses are at the same level around the building. The masons you see in the camera are the most experienced masons on the project and they are the ones that establish the eventual appearance of the project.

The brick veneer is not structural in that it is not holding up the building nor is it adding strength. It is a water proof cladding and it needs to look good.

I drove down Bertrand/South College today and looked towards the stadium. I have to say it does look impressive from that direction. I think it will be a very nice stadium when finished.
