Judging by the Branch cam it seems it dried up much quicker than 24 hours. Still, this has gotta be a major concern for the drainage engineer (if they have something like that).

The only reason it drained that quick was because there were people out there that night working on it. I drove back on campus around 9 and there were a dozen or so people out there working on it. From what I understand didn't they supposedly add more drains?

1. the drain issue is really, really bad. Our Mr. York should look into that

2. I still wanna know what the deal with the plywood is. Guessing somebody launched a 2-by thru the window?

They were using the plywood as a way to move things in to the window. They still needed a few things to go up there that were too big to just carry so they had something lift them up and then took them through that gap.

Just out of curiosity, what ever happened to the plan for the trellis around the south end zone in Phase 1? I know it seems like a small thing, but I thought it would have been a really nice touch.

[LUconn]

I believe the pergola (I assume that's what you meant) was actually phase 3, no?

yeah they pushed that back to phase 3 since they would have had to take it down to complete phase 2 and 3.

Looks like they are hustling to get the pressbox ready this morning on the Branch Cam:

[From the class of 09]

So excited to see a game in the stadium... who would have thought you could get so pumped to play Savanaha St

[LUconn]

So they've got 4 days left. Will this be 100% complete?

[olldflame]

Probably not, but it doesn't need to be.

Unless you're one of the lucky ones sitting in a suite I doubt you will notice anything incomplete.

[Rooster Cogburn]

But what if the rest of the stairway/isles on the upper deck don't get a coat of Red paint in time? AHHH. haha

[bozlady]

It just dawned on me that Doc won't be here for this. As I was just walking through the Donor Room in the FOC, admiring the renovation, turned my head and the banner hanging with Doc's picture, it's as if he's his head is turned towards to the sky in the direction of the renovation and admiring it too. I have tears in my eyes. Golly gee, I wish he were here!! I sure do miss him!!

[LUconn]

I know it doesn't need to be 100% done, I just thought since maybe they had an extra month and all... Also, I was wondering when we get a tour. A non flames club one.

[Rooster Cogburn]

Someone had mentioned to me the other day at JMU that tours were to be given all day this Thursday, but I have tried to confirm this and have not been able too yet. anyone?

[jcmanson]

done

[Rooster Cogburn]

They are painting now, but not done!

[jmdickens]

so excited for saturday night!!!

[Cider Jim]

Did anybody see Dennis Carter on WSET tonight? He ran a segment on the "new stadium" but all the video footage showed the STUDENT side. How can you have a new 5-story tower and not even show it on TV???

Speaking as someone who was with Dennis and Todd today, he was shooting from inside the press box to try to give a perspective of the views you'd get from inside. There's still a ton of construction going on inside, and those workers finishing things up don't necessarily want to be on camera.

[kuntryboimike]

Why wouldn't you want to be on camera? I think that'd be so cool haha

[Chris Lang]

I don't know man. At least three or four of the guys were like 'no pictures!'

[JK37]

Construction workers not wanting pictures = INS fear

"Policia! Policia!"
