Upper deck football season tickets

So sooner or later?

I would imagine later.

You can’t break ground on something you don’t have architectural plans for.

Around November/December of last year it was my understanding those plans would be completed by the end of summer. By the tone of this thread we are nowhere near architectural plans.

Architectural/engineering had to be close or near done or the initial decision about the upper deck would not have been made.

It's a money thing in all likelihood.

[UL_Cajuns]

Interest Rates hikes, high fuel costs, high construction costs, inflation highest in 40 years, and Stock market flat. Boy oh boy. So much for the renovation starting this year, but does anyone see things getting cheaper? They never do once they go up. They may just slow down from going up, rarely go down all that much.

Neither one are done.

Then Maggard jumped the gun.

I figured money for sure and possibly plans or specs not completed. It takes a while to figure everything out. Most projects like this start the day after the last game. It didn't make sense when we were told demo in spring or summer. We could have been in a situation where we had a demoed upper deck and press box and not enough money to rebuild. The techsters and others would have had a field day with that.

This is a BIG high profile project. You really really really really have to have everything planned out from beginning to end before you start anything. Once the Demo starts... .there is no turning back AND you get the "I hope I didn't forget anything" feeling in your gut.

100% can bet the farm there will be at least one big change order. After 50 years, would expect soil issues at the very least once they open things up.

I would suspect they would do an extensive geotech investigation poor to foundation design.

Fully agree, but we both know the nature of the beast. If UL pulls this off without any surprises, Maggard is our next president.
