NebraskaHarry Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 It isn't much, but a view from the new video booth. This stadium is going to look gorgeous when done. And I thought it was gorgeous before. Quote Link to comment

California Husker Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 They should have a max age limit to go to games. Not seriously but when I went to the Washington game there was a man probably in his late 70's early 80's holding his hands over his ears every time we were on defense don't understand the desire these people have to go to the games live. i personally enjoy watching the games at home more than the stadium. it's just a preference of not wanting to deal w/ all the crap of getting up there and back - then trying to stay sober to drive after the game. this way i grill, i get drunk, and i get to watch 3-4 other games as well. and i'm 30. when i'm in my 70's...i'll grill, get drunk, and watch 5-6 other games. Wow dude! Do you also stand on your front porch and yell at the neighbor kids to get off of your lawn? You are going to be one grumpy old man when you get to be 70 or 80... All I know is that you are right...when you sit in the stadium you miss the other games, you are crammed in, you have to deal with the huge crowd and all that goes with it (long lines, sweaty loud drunks sitting next to you, stadium steps, no instant replay of reviewed calls, you can't see nearly as well as on T.V., expensive food, SOMEONE has to be the designated driver, etc.) ....and you know what? I wouldn't miss any of it for the world any time I have the chance to go (living in So. Cal, I have only been to Lincoln for two games ever). Even with all the negatives, there is nothing like being in Memorial Stadium for a Husker game. You guys who live there and can go to multiple games every year should count your blessings. And that stuff about you yelling at the neighbor kids was just a little joke...hope you weren't offended...GO BIG RED!!! Quote Link to comment

The Duke Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 It isn't much, but a view from the new video booth. Simply awesome! Can you imagine what the noise level is going to be like on gameday when they finally get this all complete?! Quote Link to comment

(i am actually kind of confused). I assumed you were sarcastically insinuating that we should enclose the stadium like every other poster on here thinks needs to be done. Perhaps I gave you too much credit Quote Link to comment

I skipped going to Lincoln for games for about 5 or 6 seasons, I just started to think it was boring and that it would be more fun to watch at home or at the Omaha bars. Now, I go to Lincoln every chance I get to tailgate and party for the games and I regret it so much that I skipped so many seasons. I start planning Lincoln trips in June! Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 What will this expansion push the seating capacity out to? Quote Link to comment
Twinkletoes Flintstone Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 What will this expansion push the seating capacity out to? A shade over 90,000 Quote Link to comment
Twinkletoes Flintstone Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Knapplc, are you gonna have some spare time to get some pics this weekend? Much appreciated and understand if you don't have the time. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 The Arena first this week. Looking NE from the parking lot of the Amtrak station: Looking NW from 7th street just south of the post office Looking SW from the foot of the Haymarket foot bridge: And the stadium: From the veranda north of Bessey Hall: From the west side of the Coliseum: From Ed Weir Track: And a few from inside the stadium, to give an idea of progress on this side. The way it looks right now this expansion should help keep noise in the stadium and make the place louder. 6 Quote Link to comment
