Almost looks like the hills will be to the top of the concrete walls of the stadium. Wonder how that will work. Hills will be a lot taller in general. Neat

I’m guessing this has been talked about before I wouldn’t know where to look for it, but now where will the visiting team locker rooms going to be located at?

In the basement of the Jake, if I'm not mistaken. Too bad we couldn't find a way to force opponents to the far side of Bergstrom during halftime.

From the presentation to the regents about the project, this is what the basement of the Jacobson Building will be laid out.

So instead of the visiting team exiting the field through a narrow walled path to the Olsen Building, they will need to go through a open path right behind the band. Looks like the tuba section will need to brush up on their trash-talking.

Looks like the hillside is being filled in a bit today:


I suppose that I should ask how they’re going to fill in the upper portion, before or after the external encircling retaining wall is built.

But I think I’ll happy to just to wait and see how that turns out.:cool:

They should be able to drive trucks up the ramp, as the ramps will be as wide as the ones on the south side of the stadium, and back into the hillside from there.

Sousas will just fart in their general direction
