This is going to look so cool when it’s done. If only my family didn’t downsize to 2 tickets this year so I could be there for the majority of the games :(

Does it seem a bit odd that the current view from the webcam, wherever it is on the press box, is showing us a view of Buchanan Hall and the Campanile?

Thank you!

As an aside…can anyone pick out the webcam on top of the press box? My eyes aren’t up to it.

The cam is behind the windows. Go to 11:54:11 today and you'll see it start panning around. At that mark as it moves you'll notice that it's reflecting from the inside of the window.

Pretty sure that's just the security globe that protects the camera itself.

Thank you!

My guess it's either on top of the pressbox by where the antenna/flag pole is on the right hand side or it's just to the right of where the railing ties into the concrete structure/parapet wall. Both spots have little white blobs. My guess is it's where the roof rail ties into the parapet. Easy to get to, easy to get power, probably has an ethernet cable dropped down through the door onto the roof.

They’ve started trucking in more topsoil again. Alas, I have a dentist appointment, and won’t be able to watch to see what happens with that NW hillside concourse.
Someone care to clue me in on what was dumb about this statement, please?

I had a root canal. It lasted about forty minutes. The dentist kept muttering “Why is this tooth a stinker?” Needless to say, it didn’t go well, and I have to go back a third time next week.

That sucks. Hope next time goes better.

I wish the grounds crew was allowed to play with the FB field the way MLB crews are allowed to, there could be some neat stuff done.
I wonder if we will ever see some paint schemes on the hills. I imagine it is pretty difficult to make it look good on a bowled surface like that, but would be cool to see an I or some trice stripes jumping out off the hills. I'm sure it's been discussed in the past and decided it wasn't worth the effort.

Yeah, people sit on that, so there would be a lot of people with red paint on their asses.
