UA Soccer stadium

[infofan]

Visited campus today and a few observations- first on soccer stadium.

It looks great and is coming along. 3 rows of chairback seats extending about 80% of lengthe of field. Grandstand is behind that with about 12 rows of bleacherback (not installed yet) seats and topped off with a platform probably to hold pressboxes. lowest level has 2 tunnels coming from field down to locker rooms. lowest level( sub seats is encased in red brick, which I assume will be extended up sides of grandstand. lights look great- tho not on yet. Scoreboard ( now in west end)has many loos wires sticking out- overall electrical work in progress. sloped pitch extends around end zones to plexiglass team benches on north side. west side is totally flat and has about 4 rows of bleachers. east side has traditional slope for AK-Rowdies and behind that is about a 5 row elevated bleacher running corner to corner. Most noteable thing is a plaque on side of lower level of grandstand that has a dedication to long time Zip fan Barb Hlivko.

Secondly on the Info...

Marching band was drilling on field and in both concourses. scaffolding still up above club seats where ceiling was falling. It looks to have been repaired now. Scaffolding holding it up till dry. Lowest level on street level of stadium ( where Welty construction signs were) is under construction. And Most noteably!!!----Team shop is well underway and very large sign on windows says " ZIPS TEAM SHOP COMING SEPT. 4th! "

I took some pics on cellphone. If I can find a way to get them on here ( with help) Ill do so.

GO ZIPS!!!!!!!!!!!

GO ZIPS!!!!!!!!!!!

I dunno how good the team shop will be. The Odd Corner sold skull bongs, and it would violate the rules of eminent domain if the team shop sold skull bongs. So - no skull bongs in the team shop. That is a deal knell.
