Bleacher Bum Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 Hmm marching band area...someone should start a thread about that...oh wait You will then pass through a sliding glass door to the state-of-the-art roller coaster. While racing along 1200 feet of twisted metal you will be taken through the stadium while robots rub your feet and feed you popcorn...all while having a great view of the game!!!Now THAT sounds NICE!!! If they can figure out a way to have that while I have a beer in my hand, I'd be willing to shell out my life savings for a suite. Quote

UAZipster0305 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 It amazes me that in difficult financial times that the opulence and grandeur of such a structure are justified for six primary events per year. Quote
Zip_ME87 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 Well, I don't know if this has been posted before, but it looks like we aren't the only ones with a new stadium this year. Pretty awesome I have to say. http://www.startribune.com/video/15375881.htmlIt may look great, but can you imagine that place in November? Is it really a good idea for one of the Big Eleven's least successful teams to be exposing their fans to additional misery. Quote
Zip_ME87 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 It amazes me that in difficult financial times that the opulence and grandeur of such a structure are justified for six primary events per year.As far as sports venues go, ours is a bargain. Quote

(best bang-for-your-buck)forget that that this stadium was under construction long before the financial crisis even hitforget that that the stadium was LONG overdue for the university.\unless you were being sarcastic... in which case that was poorly played.

WinZip Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 WHATS GOING ON HERE! Stadium Camslook.Continued: There was a construction worker on cam. I couldnt figure out what he was doing. My guess is cleaning off the cam or something. Was exciting Quote

I'm sure this person was making a dig at UofA since we do have six home games this fall. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 You can't see them on the cams, but the dorms are already going up. The foundation was poured a while ago and now the first floor is being built. The sign on the street corner of Spicer and Vine streets said they would open in August 2010. If anybody could get some pics, that would be awesome. Quote
Blue & Gold Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 Yeah, the dorms are coming along quickly! They look like they're gonna be great! Nice architecture & what, 5 stories high? Red brick w/ glass & steel. They're going to add A LOT to the whole stadium complex. I imagine there is going to be a pretty cool scene between the dorms and the stadium on game days. Quote

bigham78 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 The clearest the field area has been since they started the project. I'm guessing will be seeing the field work start pretty soon like they said. Quote

They are atInfocision Stadium.Scroll down to see the latest photos with the new dorm foundation work. (Latest pictures are 6681-6704.

Does anyone know it they are going to have the shops on the first floor like at Exchange? Quote

ZippyRulz Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 Yeah, thanks for the nice pics. It still warms my heart that this project can go forward and provide work for some construction folks during this severe recession. Less than 5 months to christening...who's got the champagne? Quote
Blue & Gold Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 I've had two dreams this week about the opening of the stadium! Man, I've really gotta get a life. Quote
