The Tigue is a special place

[Boomer]

Pictures don't convey how much larger it is. I think approx. 800 additional seats. The old Tigue set below the bleachers. The new grandstand extends well above and beyond the bleachers.

---Good points--thanks!!!

I think what you are talking about are the brick ties.

The objects evenly spaced on the wall are brick ties. The first row of bricks is the one that takes the most time. If it is not straight and level then everything else will be off. In brick work you have to finish where you start. In this case it is not that critical because the entire envelope is not clad in bricks. But in order for it to look good it has to start correctly. Depending on the crew, they should be able to get close to a story a day. They can't go too fast and put too many courses on in a day because the mortar needs time to set up. The weight of the bricks above may cause the fresh mortar to fail if they place too many bricks in one day.

Any updates on how ticket sales are doing? Should be at least the same as last year, hopefully higher.

Renewal rate was 96%, which is very good. I'm sure there will be enough general public looking to add as well to get the total up there

They sold out of season tickets last year at 3000. I haven't heard what the new official capacity will be or what the new maximum season tickets sales will be in the new stadium.

Were the season tickets capped at 3,000 last year, Amos? Capacity was more like 3,800 with the old stadium. I think Robe said the new capacity will be close to 5k but not over.
