hastingshusker Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 There is no sarcasm. I am from Hastings, home of the Eileens Cookie. My mom is good friends with Eileen herself. I have an addiction. There's 3 reasons I go to games. Tunnel Vision. Famous Dave's. An Eileens Cookie at a Husker game. I can watch the game on tv. Eileen's Cookies just aren't the same from anywhere but the Hastings store....they're close though. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Just talked to one of the iron workers and the East Stadium has reached max height. No more iron going up, so from now on the pics will be more cosmetic than construction. There's a ceremony today to commemorate the completion of the structural phase. Sadly, my invitation must have been lost in the mail. Quote Link to comment

tschu Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Wish I was still a student so I could check out the stadium expansion from inside the stadium Quote Link to comment

HuskerShark Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 You know what I notice? It's pretty crazy how similar our stadium is beginning to look to the Shoe: Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 That doesn't look any more like The Shoe than any other picture of any other stadium taken from that angle. Quote Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 That doesn't look any more like The Shoe than any other picture of any other stadium taken from that angle. Oh really?... Army: Tennessee: Georgia: LSU: You're right. They all look the same... Quote Link to comment
RockyMountainOySker Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I'm expecting real time photos on Saturday people. Quote Link to comment

You're right. They all look the same... Seriously. Memorial Stadium doesn't look any more/less like The Shoe than Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge. The Shoe is a horseshoe; Memorial Stadium is encircled. The Shoe is more analogous to Camp Randall or Williams-Brice Stadium. Quote Link to comment

HuskerNBigD Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 You know what I notice? It's pretty crazy how similar our stadium is beginning to look to the Shoe: It's funny that you mention that. The original construction of Memorial Stadium, in 1923, was modeled after Ohio Stadium. I'm not sure if you were insinuating that or not, if you were my apologizes for the sarcasm going right over my head. Quote Link to comment
tschu Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Yeah our stadium USED to look a lot like the 'shoe. (minus the whole horseshoe shape of course) Now it doesn't even remotely resemble it; the additions and new construction in the 80 years since are totally different Quote Link to comment
