Me too. I have an HO scale model train I have had since I was about 6. I need to rebuild that thing.That last pic is cool, knapp. I've got a thing for trains, though. (Seriously. That's not innuendo. I've just always thought trains were cool.)
Was about to say the same thing, cool pic.That last pic is cool, knapp. I've got a thing for trains, though. (Seriously. That's not innuendo. I've just always thought trains were cool.)
It's a powerplant for the arena:Today's updates.
This structure went up in about ten days. There was basically no ironwork here when I took last week's photos, just some ground work for the foundation. I don't know what this is - I'm guessing it's a hotel.
Hello! I've been following this thread for awhile. I live in the LA area and am so thankful for the pics of Memorial Stadium's expansion! Just thought I'd drop a quick note letting everyone (especially knapplc) know how great it is to check out the progress... feels like I'm home (now someone mail me some Runzas or Schmigos)!
Anyway, I was also wondering what peoples' thoughts were about the final result in terms of atmosphere. There has been plenty of discussion in the last year about The Sea of Red's lack of game-day enthusiasm on a consistent basis... surely this addition will increase the volume and resonance of the stadium in general, not to mention add 5k more voices, right? I'm hoping this is a HUGE step in the direction of reminding Husker Nation how great our fans are... and making Memorial Stadium actually a difficult place to visit. Thoughts?
Edit: Does anyone know of plans to bolster the sound system?
Seriously, I know they have it figured out, but how the hell are they going to get those suckers down?They are going to feel stupid once they realize they built around the cranes and can't get them out.
They will make for some great light towers!They are going to feel stupid once they realize they built around the cranes and can't get them out.
