I saw video on Facebook earlier today. Sparky did not have to wait in line at concession stand.

Maybe, Sparky pre-ordered the food by smart phone app

It would be amazing if we have a self-ordering system, or order by application.
Saving time and energy!!

My wife softened her heart and willingly drove through campus to satiate my desire to see the stadium from the reopened University Boulevard.

Good pics, but would the Mrs. not let you out of the car to take pics INSIDE of the stadium?

Well done! This one is becoming my new wallpaper until we get the inevitable awesome photography from the ODU game with the stadium expansion.

That picture is beautiful. It is nice to see everything coming together. LUPD/facilities need to get working on installing the signage for traffic patterns with the roads changing.

New Liberty sign over the new pressbox is up. Looks sharp. Stadium is lit by the scoreboard.

It doesn’t look like new speakers have been put up yet, is this a pretty quick thing to do? Would’ve thought they’d have hat done by now?

Don't panic. Everything sounded fine for graduation.

Those were the original FOC speakers from ages ago, before the video board. It was quiet and boring and the students would leave before kickoff if that's what we used.

And before the old video board, we used to have screen trailers to watch replay.

Even with state of the art video board in past few seasons, our replays left something to be desired on a lot of plays. It was more focused on showing students than replays..

I checked out construction this morning before church, appears to be a lot of work still to finish before Saturday.

Scaffolding all down on East side with all brick complete - wonder if they attempt to get the glass in this week...

At the security meeting, we were told that there would be a small scaffolding section left up but that will be gone in a couple of weeks or so later. Focus has been on interior, concessions and restrooms for the opener.

A friend of mine works on the sound and that will all be in place for Saturday.

GOOD news about concessions:

Besides the normal concessions fare, including kettle corn, soft drinks, hot dogs, and hamburgers, new vendors have been added for the east side expansion: Dunkin Donuts, Auntie Anne’s Pretzels, and House of Flames (featuring chicken wings and fries). There is also a new Flames Football team store at the main entrance.

Another restaurant included in the next expansion for 2019 would be a blast (no pun intended)!
