Stadium Expansion

[The Dude]

What is Buffalo Wings & Rings? Is that some BWW knock-off?

Please put in some speakers in South stadium soon

please?

MISTER Accountability has you covered:

Had the associate AD on sports nightly last night and did in fact state that now that the east stadium expansion is all but complete, they are beginning research on the new acoustics for an upgraded sound system. Said it's been in the works for a while, but with the dramatic change in structure, they really had no choice but to wait until it was completed. I think he said to expect an announcement following this season?

In other news-there is a god.

AWWWWWW YEAH!

With only 20 some days left, there still is a lot of work left. Do we have enough time to get the Rail Yard done or even the ribbon band up in Memorial done before the first game? The second apartment complex doesn't look like it will be finished in time.

Most of the Rail Yard bars and restaurants won't be open until mid-late September. I can't believe they hacked and couldn't get those places open for the first game. They have to be missing out on so much revenue by not being open for the beginning of school and the first football game.

Whole bunch of photos of the Rail Yard by the LJS:

Well that's disappointing. My dad really wanted to see it all in our first game.

There should be a fair amount of places open for the first game, here is a link for a timeline on everything:

Thanks for the list of updates, Watson. I am not local, but I know a lot of people are interested in what's going to be open for the first game. I still can't believe that there will be places that aren't open for the start of school and the first football game. That is a HUGE mistake.

Don't know how much of a mistake it is or isn't, but it was and still is an absolutely massive undertaking. 14 months ago that whole area was all train tracks and dirt.
