corncraze Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 For fans seated in the East Stadium and entering that area of the stadium, fans should be aware of changes due to construction, not all gates on East Stadium will be open and fans should follow posted signs through construction zones to available gates. Gates 22 and 23 will not be open on Saturday. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 An aerial view of the expansion work. Google is now paying attention. Quote Link to comment
icedavis Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 An aerial view of the expansion work. Google is now paying attention. That is amazing. Target Field in Minneapolis is going on its 3rd year in completed form (about 5 since the start of construction) and TCF Bank Stadium is going on its 4th football season (almost 6 years since construction started) and Google still shows them as parking lots. That is...unless you go down to bird's eye view or street view, then they show up. Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Some update photos from the OWH Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Took a bunch of photos today! Couple of pictures of the south eastern side, which has radically progressed since I saw it three weeks ago. Thought the small cross bars on the center arch were interesting here. Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Another shot on the south east side Some photos of the center of the east side. The North side has really progressed. They're already starting to build the second tier. (Sorry the second photo is so grainy). More on the north eastern side Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Thought this was interesting, this is how close together the North and East sides will be together at gate 16. I was wondering if the expansion would change my gate, but it actually doesn't. 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Good pics, corncraze! I'm just disappointed you didn't meet us for a barley soda this evening, if you were in town! Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Here's my attempt to turn a total loss into a slight win. Some pics of the arena and east stadium from a different angle than normal. The Champions Club folks chose to stay home rather than risk the weather. Turns out, they were the smart ones. 1 Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Think the heavy rain will set back the construction at all? Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Love this photo! How much higher do you think they will go? Based on the early mockup it doesn't look like it will get too much higher, but if you look at the structure from the front, it looks like they are going to go much higher. Do you think the mock is a little off? Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Arena from different angle progress on new hotel Strang project across from new hotel. THere's a huge ditch there right now. New parking lot/apartment complex across the bookstore. Looks almost done now. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 If we could enclose our stadium = best in Big 10, top 5 in nation. Quote Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Think the heavy rain will set back the construction at all? Not enough to offset the huge progress they made with a mild winter. Quote Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 If we could enclose our stadium = best in Big 10, top 5 in nation. Just throwin' it out there, if ours is the best in the B1G, it will be best in the nation. B1G has the giants of the college football world. Quote Link to comment
