wait, I don't get it. I thought they were adding an upper deck like we are.

Ya, but it won't be finished until 2011. From the sounds of it, the construction crews will continue working on it throughout the season.... But for 2010, they will not have improved their seating capacity by much at all.

Im debating heading up to JMU for that game (I have a friend who goes to school up there). you think tickets for the visitors will be hard to come by?

Man the building is going to be MASSIVE!

[Rooster Cogburn]

And it shows just how close the back of the stands are to the Soccer press box, wow!

[Sly Fox]

Not to mention the sheer size of the floor space in the pressbox structure. Wow!

[BJWilliams]

This definitely will make Williams Stadium a cornerstone structure on campus once its done

It hasn't really hit people yet that the press box/suite tower will be larger and more opulent than many FBS, let alone FCS.

[soccer7]

I think the pictures dont do it justice. I for one look at them and just ask "how big is this thing really?". I hope it is going to be "large" and on par with some of the bigger FBS schools when the expansion is all said and done.

Agreed. As on many University campus' the football stadium defines the landscape of the entire university. We have three big cornerstones the future Williams Stadium, Demoss, and snowflex.

I cant wait to drive back onto campus next semester, and see this beautiful stadium nearly finished.

PS: I havent posted on here in a while, but I'm back! Go Flames.

[Kolzilla41]

It gets kinda antsy watching it being built and waiting for September 4th to come

Williams Stadium, Demoss, and snowflex.

Really?

[BJWilliams]

One thing that has certainly helped (knock on wood) is the fact that other than the snow end of last year/beginning of this year we havent had much in the way of ill weather to really set work back

[FlamesBeBallin]

Williams Stadium, Demoss, and snowflex.

Really?

Its definitely noticeable. There isnt another one in the entire western hemisphere. Maybe Im wrong though.

[SuperJon]

It looks nice and is in pristine condition because nobody uses it.

[jcmanson]

Sure it's nice and all, but a cornerstone building? I don't think so.

[BJWilliams]

Id say more the lodge than the snowflex itself thinking about it if you could have a cornerstone structure up there

[FlamesBeBallin]

Okay I agree with that. My bad.

[JK37]

Maybe Im wrong though.

For having a sig with Chad Johnson next to Mike Brown? Yes, you absolutely are!

Is that true or are you joking? I've been wondering what kind of traffic it gets. Seems like it needs to be marketed a little more regionally.

[SuperJon]

It gets very little traffic up there. Whenever I've been up there have been more looking around than actually using it. And most that do use it are college students and don't have to pay for it.

[BJWilliams]

MOst of the people are using the beginner slope/tubing area as opposed to the big slope in back that are up there actually using it
