We only own five canoes and a couple of kayaks

Super, you forgot about the crew boat(s) we have!
Or, the Judds can come in concert and sing, "Love Can Build a Bridge."

So that is where the upper deck will start, right? Under all of that will be room to walk under! It will be huge!

The little ones...it's going to be a 6 foot opening. By making it that short - LU saved $4million dollars. Shouldn't be an issue though - 80% of our crown is under 6 foot...

I still can't belive that there are clouds in the latest rendering. Take care of that, SJ.

Theyre startin to log evenings out at the stadium. I have been by there the last few nights and they have lights rigged up and they are workin hard.

[Stevev]

I have a question for you locales. When looking at the latest drawing it doesn't look like the new addtion will hold the 7,000 that the plans call for. The addition looks to be half the size of what is already there and with the original stadium holding 6,000 each side for a total of 12,000. Just by looking at it I would say the new addition looks to hold an additional 4,000 tops. Is that true or is it the angle at which the new addition is sitting in the picture?

[jcmanson]

We're adding the upper deck, but we're also adding 4 sections to each corner. I would say the upper deck has about 5,000 with each new section in the corners having about 800 each. That would be 6200 new seats.

[olldflame]

Who cares what the drawing looks like? We will have the number of new seats they say we will. No reason to lie about it.

[Stevev]

Thanks! I completely forgot about the new corners sections. Makes sense now as the second phase will bring us to 23,000, an increase of 4,000. So both decks would seat 4K to 5K with the corners filling in the rest of the expansion.

I wasn't worried about "being lyed to" but plans do change on these types of projects, especially long term. I believe that we are increasing the number of suites from our original number and there might be other changes and I am thinking that the press box is bigger than the original plan. I was thinking that the tight deadline called for changes to seating but that might not be the case. Anyway thank you locals for responses and I look forward to seeing the final products but everything looks great.

What is your source for this information?

[Stevev]

What is your source for this information?

LU sports website I think. Originally I heard 16 and now it is 18.

FIFY

we're also adding 4 sections to each corner.

we're also adding 4 sections, 1 to each corner.

If you guys aren’t following LUADJeff on Twitter, you need to. He gives almost daily updates w/ photos. There’s a lot going on now that you can actually see.

[flamefan10]

I was really impressed. I was driving on campus at 1:45 in the morning the other day and I saw lights on and people still working over there.

[PAmedic]

Looks like LU's version of Stonehenge.

I know, not really on topic but in reply to Cider's stonehenge reference, here is PC's version of stonehenge: http://www.presby.edu/news/may/0809-class-gift.html

I like our version better .

I guess we have two versions then when you throw in Doc's Memorial as well

[olldflame]

Call me twisted, but when I hear Stonehenge, this is all I can think of:

I drove by today and there was some scaffolding/construction material connecting the lower pillars in the front to the higher ones in the back. I'm guessing that's the beginnings of the stands being built on top of the support pillars. It looks steep but it's exciting.

[Rooster Cogburn]

These? http://tweetphoto.com/14501507 or is ther more?
