Not true, in fact, just the opposite. Second deck will be vertical, not horizontal thus closer to the action. Similar to west stadium dimensions and design (less pressbox) Hey ColoradoHusk, I'm bored ....... my dream project Existing south stadium was a tinker toy construction thus fairly easy to demolished section by section. 2/3 of first deck still there after final product, only 1/3 destroyed. In fact just leave it .... NO demolished at all. Then simply build the second deck on top of first deck (vertical stacking) IMO, this is what they should have done (similarly speaking) to the north stadium on the last project. They botched that IMO. What they should have done is put the suites at the top of the old part of that stadium, then built the extra seats as an upper deck on top with extra concessions, restrooms, and exit/entry points. It would have looked much better. It would have been feasible too as they tore down the old field house and all. I could actually live with the south being the only odd part, or north for that matter, if at least one of them fit more with the east and west stadium.

You know, in the computer model of the design the B1G was the darker stain, looks like they changed it to red instead. I like that. This is sweet looking!

The terrazo floor is in and looks really nice.

Where does it say anything about Iowa not wanting to play us on Friday? Am I missing something here? Give me Wisconsin and a 2:30 kickoff please.

Video has been removed, is there another link?

They are high! They aren't that high. They offer great views of watching the plays develop, probably have more legroom, and have easier access to concessions and restrooms. If I had access I would jump all over these tickets. You'd be surprised how far up there they are, probably about 135 feet above the field. I'm not saying it's not a good view, the seats are right on top of the field. But that's pretty far up there. Is it just me or does that new upper deck seem really dangerous? The steps look extremely steep. I just am imagining someone tripping and falling down the stairs, over the railing and down on to the first level seats? I know there have been instances of fans falling over railings at other stadiums. Again, no different than any modern pro stadium. And if you saw the work going on in the upper deck, you would notice that they put railings between every row of seats.

I'm not saying it's not a good view, the seats are right on top of the field. But that's pretty far up there. No different than any new pro stadium out there. I have sat in the upper deck at Mile High (Sports Authority) and it isn't bad at all, and it's up there, and steep.

Well I think it's an upgrade over the cursive Huskers which is straight from the 80's, very dated. With that being said I think it could have definitely been better.

And indeed, as has been speculated, it is a little darker of a light green per John Ingram.

Maybe I am just reading this wrong or drawing the wrong conclusions. But it seems like the rubber is just a base layer and the entire top layer is cork. So it would seem the rubber layer isn't going to be all that, if at all visible. I could be wrong and have no idea how this will affect the color vibrancy of the field. That Tulsa video that was posted earlier though seemed to be a lighter shade once the cork was in, instead of that blackish darker hue you get on the traditional field turf system. OWH:

In here they say the red appears brighter because they haven't added the sand and rubber pellets yet, which they appear to be doing today. Darn, I liked it bright. They aren't using rubber though this time, they are using cork. Since cork is lighter than rubber in color I am wondering if it will have a less dulling effect on the color of the turf. IMO, it will make the turf look more lifelike, instead of a blackish hue it will have a browner hue, giving it the appearance of maybe some browner grass.

And another look at the turf an east stadium.

The "N" is up at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

WHEN AM I GETTING COMPENSATED, ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT? Wish they would have stolen this idea instead.

I like the inclusion, but wish they would have used his actual signature, I think that would have looked a lot better and they could have done it opposite the B1G logos on the actual field of play.

Not sure I understand what you are getting at. Are you saying they should lower the field level at Memorial? That's just not possible unless they rip out the endzone stands and rebuild. That's already been addresses in this thread, but long story short, the endzone seats would have no perspective of the endzones from the higher up seats. And really, what would be the point. The endzone seats are already right against the playing field.

Man, that red looks great. Really wish they would have done Red endzones white lettering, that would have looked amazing.

Fair enough on all. Couple thoughts and couple questions. Is that Bama uni for the upcoming season? I haven't seen them do this before. My thought on it too is it's basically their uni with sublimated houndstoothing in the stripes and numbers. Such a minimal change I wouldn't think many people would even notice. Regarding UT, I figured the Texas on the hip was in honor of DKR since he just passed. Otherwise, it really just looks like a throwback to me other than the tramp stamp. RE: the flag. Learn something new everyday. I was not aware of that. I look at a lot of concepts and you see people make these kinds of mirror mistakes quite a bit so that's what I figured it was. Edit: was never making the argument that these teams didn't wear a "procombat" uniform, just that the design wasn't any different.

I have to admit, I didn't notice how faded the old turf was until I saw this. Wow, what a difference! I agree, although I think once the sand and cork is added this will not be quite as vibrant.

Pretty sure Alabama hasn't worn an alternate design though, the cut may be pro combat, but the design is their traditional design. I've seen PSU and Texas in this argument as well and pretty sure they haven't done anything different design wise either. This isn't an argument for or against NU doing it on my part, just a clarification more or less. My objection to the alternates NU is wearing is that there is black in them. Wrong on both counts. Alabama's: Texas': Not to argue the point here, but that Bama uniform looks like a concept from a concept forum, I meanm the American flag is backwards for chrissakes. And the UT uni is a throwback is it not (the only difference is the number above the logo on the helmet, which they used to do)?
