knapplc Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 I just googled "Lincoln Arena map" or something and that came up. I enlarged it in photoshop so it was a bit easier to read. From what I can recall, that was one of the first maps disseminated, but that's a fuzzy memory. The guy I talked to didn't have any info on anything going into those blocks, just Arena Drive. If you notice in that picture of the Arena from the SW (from the Amtrak parking lot), you can see they've leveled the dirt in anticipation of paving, by the way. Not a great angle, unfortunately. I should have taken a shot from the overpass looking down along that street. I'll have to do that next time. Quote Link to comment
HuskerFanChuck Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Nice! Thanks again. I figured that was likely one of the earlier maps, but thought I'd at least ask. Quote Link to comment
kchusker_chris Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Now that I know the source, and having read that message Lyons got, I have very little doubt the roof will be open. No worries, jwhbigred. You're just passing along what you were told. I'm sure there are reasons known only to the City of Lincoln why the Hole wouldn't be allowed to have a rooftop garden while Barry's is allowed. It would just suck to have something like this in Lincoln... I can tell you this sure doesn't suck. or this... Quote Link to comment

ZRod Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Isn't that power and light? I don't think that really qualifies as a roof. Quote Link to comment
sd'sker Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 am i the only one concerned that with a rooftop bar it will just make it that much harder to raise the roof? 2 Quote Link to comment

I don't think that really qualifies as a roof. yup. you're on the roof of some of those bars down there. others are just upper floor patios. still...drunk + patio + 20 foot fall = barry's roof.

I'm just being pedantic. Best night of debauchery I've ever had, what I remember of it anyways, and I didn't fall off the roof there. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 No time to stop and talk, I've got to run. Stadium first. Note the progress on the brick work, and the fact that there are no new girders pointing up from the superstructure. Looks like we've reached max height. 3 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Arena next. Terrible lighting for pictures today. I tried to fix them in photoshop a bit. A couple of street work shots. The first shows the leveled ground and some of the sewer work they've done for Arena Drive. The second shows some progress on Canopy Drive, or what will be Canopy Drive in a year or so. 3 Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Thanks knap! Will they be continuing to add bricks and parts of the outer shell of the east expansion while the season is going on, or does everything come to a complete halt? Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I'll be inside the stadium this Thursday, so I'll try and snap some pictures of the east side from where I'm at. 1 Quote Link to comment

They'll keep working until it's done. With the exterior work so far along, during the winter they'll work on the interior stuff, then finish everything when the weather improves again during spring. If we have another winter like this past one, they'll be done early is my guess. Quote Link to comment
