Honestly I had not thought much about what the setting would be like once the upper deck is added to the student side. But these pics from Coach Shell give a perspective on how the monogram will disappear from the sight lines except for those atop the Baptist Side.

I always thought it was tacky but I’m sure I’m the minority.
It's tacky but at this point it would feel empty without it. I wish they would pressure wash it. :shock:

In general or the fact that it's not completely circular? I wonder who had the responsibility for landscaping? Now I know that it's not so easy, but golly it looks weird.

It looks like the brick is done in the south endzone.

I've heard rumors of another scoreboard on the south end of the stadium. No idea where though. I've also heard maintenance issues were part of why we're moving ahead with the new board at the FOC. I still can't believe they haven't started on that part yet.

Could be worse. Could be outlined in red white and blue neon

I walk by the stadium everyday, and it really looks like the new upper deck on the student side is taller than the upper deck on the Baptist side. Are they really identical in size?

Not even close, I don't think they claimed I would be either. The previous expansion added 7k seats included the 4 corner sections at the goal lines. That upper deck didn't add but maybe 4k seats, probably fewer. The new upper deck is 6k by itself. The tower on the student side will also only be 3 stories compared to the existing 5 story tower.

They will have the new board done in time for commencement. it has been ordered and contract has been signed. There will be a digit score board on the curve of the brick in the south endzone and a delay of game clock. They will be hung on the brick wall.

Nice article and video about the new stadium on LU's website. This week they begin installing the concrete seating, in 3-row planks. It also mentions that the video board will be 3,000 square feet, compared to our current one that is 700 square feet. :shock:

The crane is installing the concrete planks now: so far, it looks like the upper deck planks are 6 rows high and 4 columns long. And they are laying block for one of the towers closest to the north end of the stadium.

Ballcoach, they are hoping to get you on their Dance Cam doing this: :pbjtime
