Fun With Photoshop... Endzone Style

That looks exactly like what would be the likely outcome. What DO you see happening? It's single level bowl and includes the new scoreboard.
Im guessing he means the concourse part, id assume that the south end will not have the earthwork built up like the sides, so the concourse would be lower and the back of the lower bowl would be exposed.
You are probably right - the cheaper way to do it would not raise the ground level it would most likely be exposed steel - I would assume then the bathrooms and conssessions would be built under the stands. The picture that was created in this thread is going to make us disappointed in the end (our expectations will be way too high).
Oh. I guess I personally file that under the "details" part. I would be that at some point you see a concourse there, though.

Here's the plan....
* monday Nov 21st 2011, start work on both ends of the stadium
* start/complete the scoreboard project on the north
* remove bleachers from the south
* build an earthen bowl by bringing in the fill/dirt (huge project)
* do the underground/infrastructure work for the concourse connecting the East and West
* let the new bowl go through one freeze/thaw cycle and settle properly
following year.....
* since the bleachers are gone, the South Endzone, will have to be completely "hillside only" for one year
* following the 2012 season...finish the permenant endzone seating, concessions and concourse work

The scoreboard in the north will be done this spring/summer...

I heard it may not be ready until the Iowa game.

That's correct. It's getting a late start since there were additional bids brought in and then Daktronics upped the cost to cover the difficulty of actually building the support structure and mounting the screen. At least that's my layman's, probably incorrect, understanding of the project.

I don't understand how you can have roughly 30 if not more weeks, but then specify that it will take one week into the season to finish. You can't start one week early or maybe, god forbid, hustle a little bit with the construction?

One last photo then I'll let the thread die.
Although I know it's not really necessary at the moment but had to throw in the uber large pressbox.
Looks like a Big Boy Stadium!

Please don't let this die.
Can you do your absolute best case scenerio stadium? Press boxes on both sides, upper deck endzones, even north corners 'bowled' in... etc... I love threads like this.
String together a couple 10 win seasons, and that scenario may actually be necessary. One can always dream right?? Nice work!
Very nice. Only problem is that we'd basically have to have the largest demand for luxury boxes in the country to make that happen. Unless we built it simply for aesthetic purposes and put some kind of athletic offices in there, which isn't a horrible idea.
