From Barber's twitter earlier:

Retired jerseys/LU letters taken down. Press box cleaned out. Bulldozers/trucks in stadium. Ready for demolition. Bring it on.

I guess that answers the question of whether they are saving the jerseys or not.

I had the same idea, Medic. If only someone who worked there happened to casually bump it a little too the right.

Of course, someone with a webcam on their laptop could probably Ustream things once they get started fairly easily.

Pictures or it didn't happen.

Seriously - I wish I could be there. I spent many happy hours at the Will, and it's kind of sad to think about parts of it being demolished, even if it's to bring about something better. (I hope it'll look not-totally-under-construction in time for graduation.)

Super, if you're shooting video with the school's camera, that's an excused absence, right?

Now that it's coming down, I'm more anxious to see the new one up! Can't wait for this thing of beauty. Must say, seeing that crane smash into the the press box was pretty sweet.
