A good article in News Advance today on stadium expansion. the city gave its blessing on the plans.

I believe LU needs to add a major parking lot somewhere for football. Parking is a problem now, and will get even worse once the "big boys" come to town.

I parked in the Orange Lot last weekend. It was maybe a third of capacity. I'm sure part was due to the two days notice for the passes, but they're trying to drum up Flames Club memberships with parking being the big perk. It worked on me. I love being a 5 minute walk down the hill and straight into Ward's. Egress has improved greatly with VSP getting involved.

I parked at Doc's Dinner. Got there about 2:00 p.m. and was able to get a good spot.

I believe they will and will constantly flash "WAKE UP OVER THERE"

What did you say, Sonny?

He said, "sorry mister. I won't be on your yard again"

Good one!

The hill in the south end zone of the football stadium is GONE. That area is now all dirt and flat as a pancake.

You seem like you would like Longmire on Netflix.

My understanding was the electrical controls for the lights were in the old locker room. They may have had to dig it out.

[Cider Jim]

Ballcoach has one of those fancy Smart phones, and he likes taking pictures with it.

My younger brother loves Longmire, but I haven't seen it yet; maybe over Christmas break I'll give it a try.

[ballcoach15]

I can only post to facebook. Not know how to post anywhere else. I wish some high tech person would post a photo on here of the construction in south end of stadium.

The good news: we've got 2 construction cameras on the football stadium: Football Expansion West View

The bad news: everything is DARK right now.

[ballcoach15]

Cider, find the construction cam on west side of stadium, and turn it a few degrees to the right, so we can see south end zone area.

[Sly Fox]

The East View gives a pretty strong perspective on the size of the upper deck now that the framework is coming into place.

Drove past today. The seating area is considerably larger than that on the press tower.
