Barber said in the article that the additional seats for The BIll won't be added until we are FBS but if we put up back to back playoff appearances and get to consistently having 20,000+ wouldn't that warrant the addition, FBS or not?

(I'm building a miniature one in my backyard).

Wait...what?

I'll post pictures once I'm done. Looking at completion in 2016 or so. It's not a model either. It will be an actual people mover but not at the scale to what you'll find at Disneyland, etc. I'm not made of money.

We have to know more. How big is your yard? What's the purpose of it? Just for fun? For your kids?

[Yacht Rock]

Yard isn't super big which is why this will be small scale.

The plans call for it to basically take guests from the back porch and loop around the edge of our property to the garage I'm going to be building on the backside of our property and then back to the house.

The best idea I can give you of what it will look like when completed is this.

I prefer my designs to this guy's but that's the basic idea.

[PAmedic]

yeah no way you could possibly fall 75 feet to your death outta that thing

remind me to turn down the invite to your picnic next summer

Yeah, one of my design improvements is for it not to be as much of a death trap as the only other example I could find. lol

My car and track designs are engineered to be much safer that this guy's. Some of our neighbors are excited about it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one totally baffled by this backyard monorail idea.

It's not that baffling...some people like to plant begonias in their backyard, some people like to build a small scale functional monorail. lol

[jcmanson]

This is awesome. You have to give us pics when it's done.

[Yacht Rock]

Oh I will. And I promise this, if we beat Villanova on Saturday, I'll go ahead and paint the first car red, put an LU monogram on it and name it the Flame Train.

Will you also build your own backyard roller coaster as well?

I'm being completely serious when I say my wife and I considered that but we didn't want anything too loud that might irritate the neighbors.

However, if we do ever relocate to more land, it is a project I'd love to tackle.

When I showed my wife this video a few months ago, she was sold on the idea...

That's exactly what I was referring too...

[ALUmnus]

This is pretty much all I'd be able to muster.

Here's a much better coaster:

This might be a little off topic...

Does anyone know what is being built on the property across from IHOP that was donated to Liberty a couple years ago? At one time that location was Shoney's, and more recently La Herradura. The building was demolished in the last month or so. Just curious what is going in there.

Aaron's Rentals is building a new building.

Today I walked from the new library to the new science building (on the brand new sidewalk in between) and noticed workers painting the back of the Vines Center an olive, army green color.

Camouflaging the building to hide the shame

[alabama24]

Anyone know what is going on up between LUCOM and Liberty Ridge? (There is quite a bit of excavation and a construction mailbox has been put up).

I keep seeing ads for The Vue at Liberty Mountain opening this fall, so maybe that's it.

As I view the construction cams for the new music building I notice what appears to be a fenced in area just in front of the building. I've been told it's a small grave yard. Is that accurate? If so who's buried there?

That is correct. My understanding is they are from previous owners of the property and have been there since way before 1971. Not sure if they were "re-discovered" during construction or what.

[LUinPA]

I may be wrong but wasn't there something call the "Schilling Center" on top of them at one point...

[Cider Jim]

No, the grave marker was located between Schilling and the former tennis courts on a small patch of land next to the old printing office.
