talaricohusker Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 So if I am comparing these correctly, they essentially have all of the ironwork complete, except for the peaks and maybe more of the general seating stands. Please correct me if I am wrong, but this is looking freaking amazing right now! Can't wait to see what the outside looks like by the time we kick off against Southern Miss! thought they would go a little higher but it looks pretty close to being topped out Quote Link to comment

That's the way I am seeing it. The peaks on the columns and the general seating/lighting iron is the last of it. Then just need to work on the facade. I doubt the facade is done by opening week but who knows. I am heading up for the MN game so luckily I shuld be seeing essentially a finished product on the outside. Knapplc, thanks again for taking the time to head out and take these as it's the only way I have been able to follow the stadium expansion. I jones for this kind of stuff so thanks man!

I think it does now anyway but the whole perspective will change once you are looking at a completed structure. Quote Link to comment

No doubt it will look alot bigger then what was there. its just hard for me to wrap my head around this thing and how big it will be. cant wait to see it in person Quote Link to comment
huskerdavo Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Looks freakin amazing....love the pictures thanks you all Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt316 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Great pics as always, I have a question though. Is the red facing that's currently up the final brickwork cladding or is that still the inner thermal layer? Kinda hard to see the detail from the distance as to wether that is flat or if it's actually brick texture. If it's the brickwork I'd love if we could see a closer picture of how it looks if anyone gets a chance. (if possible) The old gal is really looking good. Quote Link to comment

Almost 100% sure that is just paint over the thermal layer. Quote Link to comment

Brouhaha Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 so is it supposed to be ready by gameday or not..? Quote Link to comment
HeyBurke Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Is anyone else kind of disappointed that you won't be able to see west stadium from Vine Street anymore? I mean, I love what they're doing with the stadium, but I feel like the view won't be as good anymore. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 so is it supposed to be ready by gameday or not..? It will be ready for 2013. Is anyone else kind of disappointed that you won't be able to see west stadium from Vine Street anymore? I mean, I love what they're doing with the stadium, but I feel like the view won't be as good anymore. I see your point, but I think this new building will be aesthetically pleasant enough to overcome that. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Do they have a guess as to what the capacity will be for this season? Quote Link to comment
Lyons in the Sea of Red. Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Do they have a guess as to what the capacity will be for this season? I assume it is going to remain what it has been? Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 No new seats will be open this season. Capacity will not increase until 2013. Quote Link to comment
