They won't widen it for that. That entertainment district won't generate enough traffic to justify it. Plus the bottleneck would still be the surrounding streets or getting onto 30 so all those extra lanes wouldn't really do anything. Just be open space with a thousand people sitting in a single left turn lane.
Probably either need to have a ramp or elevators in the bridge columns for ADA. The original plan must have included elevators since it had the bridge ending with no ramp. With the original plan I think the stairs could have been pretty crowded during game days.
I would think there would to be a need for an elevator in order to meet ADA requirements. Is someone supposed to go all the way back to the beginning of the walkway in order to access the stadium?
There will never be a reason to widen University Blvd. I think you are drastically overestimating the amount of traffic the entertainment district would cause.
I would guess that the final grade of the grass will be just below 42" below the top of the new concrete walls. No personal knowledge but that is what it looks like to me on the web came looking at the elevated concrete walk that has been poured north of the Jacobson Building in relation to the top of adjacent concrete retaining wall.
It is so refreshing to finally have a thread that hasn't been hijacked. This one, for the most part, has stayed on track.
From what Jamie said, he’s more concerned about the outdoor work, which is being slowed by rain. I think the kids will understand if there is still some finishing work being done inside.
Hopefully much of that jumble of obstacles and debris can be cleared before June 4th. It won’t look so messy.
I guess we’re on the countdown for the NW walkways next, huh?
Looking at the new drawings, have we seen that "stadium walkway" in any renderings before? Looks like an elevated walkway going from the bridge and goes north around the stadium and turns into a path on the hills of the north endzone.
Will there still be gates on the north side of the stadium? Doesn't seem likely if they purposely built a walkway from the north side to the new Gate 1 & 2.
Gate 2 is moving to the top of the east stairs to mesh with the ramp.
Gate 1 and Gate 5 will be in the same places as before, just oriented 90 degrees different.
The walkway will be exterior, to allow people to go from the IM/RV area to the north plaza without obstruction.
I believe it runs into the West concourse, the same way it does on the East side.
Damn you have all the answers thanks. Does my dad actually love me?
Everyone is missing one critical component. This is Holy Land. Everyone who visits that has ailments will be healed upon their visit and will be able to bound up the stairs without issue.
How do you know he's your dad? The only reason we think our dad is our dad is because mom told us so. What if mom lied?
Everyone is missing one critical component. This is Holy Land. Everyone who visits that has ailments will be healed upon their visit and will be able to bound up the stairs without issue.
edit: we will be able to re-institute the time honored tradition of running up the stairs . . . only inside the towers. "pirate again"
Then why have I seen so many people puke in the Holy Land?Everyone is missing one critical component. This is Holy Land. Everyone who visits that has ailments will be healed upon their visit and will be able to bound up the stairs without issue.
Looks that way! Guessing they pour the wall tomorrow and then start the remaining fill/grade to get it to the same condition as the NE hill next week.
