ksu sucks Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 What, donate a pint and get a ticket?On second thought, that's a damn good idea. Every crack addict in greater Akron would be there. Lord knows they'd be crazier fans than most of the students. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 I see rows of columns around the north end of the stadium. Perhaps a wrought-iron fence is going up? Quote
BostonZip Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Hey Everybody ... first-time poster here. Anyone know what the white-ish platforms are on the top few rows of the lower bowl of the east stands that can be seen in the third stadium cam? I can't figure it out. Thanks!Video boards awaiting installation? Looks like there are a few in the same spot on the west bowl.I think those platforms might be the base for handicapped seating areas. If you look at the seating diagram on the Tickets page of the UA website, there are rectangular lines at the back of lower sections 101 through 113 on the east side, and sections 108 through 120 on the west side.

Zips DM Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 I see rows of columns around the north end of the stadium. Perhaps a wrought-iron fence is going up?You are correct, there are brick columns at both the north and south ends of the stadium awaiting black iron fence inserts and concrete capitals. There is already a substantial length of completed fencing between the Jackson field and the back of the west stands, and it looks gorgeous. Quote
tbozeglav Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 drove by the stadium... and wow... it looks awesome. You really have no idea how much this place fits in perfectly with the campus on the webcams. Quote
tbozeglav Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 looks like they're getting ready to or are already paving the section of Vine st. along the north end of the stadium. also looks like the over-glorified stairs are getting another roofing material... maybe this is the FINAL layer?!i also notice they're pouring the concrete floor over on the east side... my concerns about this place being ready are vanishing every day i check the cams Quote
UADavid Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 One of the contractors is using a white cattle trailer to bring equipment to the site. It's parked behind the scoreboard. Quote

Blue & Gold Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 I think they are installing the wrought-iron railings atop the north endzone facility. Quote
ziptrumpet87 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 The first banners are in! Well, sort of... There's some First Merit signs hanging on the club level wall on the pressbox. Quote
bigham78 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 The first banners are in! Well, sort of... There's some First Merit signs hanging on the club level wall on the pressbox.I saw those. I was wondering if maybe they were over to the info today and wanted to hang some banners. Quote

I was wondering if maybe they were over to the info today and wanted to hang some banners.Now that I think of it, how much money could have been made by having a scrolling advertisement at the bottom of the stadium cams webpage through this entire process. UofA could have probably made a couple grand.... Quote

flipthezip Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 Do I see the first component of the scoreboard in place? Quote
Zipsrifle Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 Do I see the first component of the scoreboard in place? Yes, there appears to be something up there. I imagine there are a lot of things that will be put in place prior to the actual scoreboard as it will be easier to do it sooner rather than laters. How is the sound system supposed to be? I hope it's killer! Quote

Zipsrifle Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 Couple more boxes have been hoisted into place. Think we'll have a scoreboard by weeks end? Quote

Apparently the moderator took offense at the possibility I really had been hired to throw people in wheelchairs over the concrete wall and onto the platforms. Quote
