Flags are up! Looks like they're still putting the finishing touches on everything.

Are they really going to leave the boundary of the grass areas rough dirt? The walters ticket video had some close ups of what it looked like.

It appears that they decided not to put the conference schools’ flags in the openings of the north crenel wall; the last renderings showed those flags.

Yeah, it looked strange.

I’m focused on anything but realignment and thought I would share. I was in town last week and was excited to see how great the new athletic fields to the East of the stadium look. They are fully finished and look great as you drive in on University. I think people will be pleasantly surprised.
Any idea if that shiny new gravel lot will be lumped into G7 on gamedays (I think it's technically G10)?

It's separate.

Pfft! All this consarned, newfangled fancy frills and gewgaws! Why, when I was a student, we played broomball in the mud!

(I’m not joking about that last part. But then, I also ice skated on Lake LaVerne).

Another busy day out there. Looks like they might be building the entrance arch? And anyone have a clue what's going on in the middle of the south/central grass section? I figured those would stay as just grass.

That appears to be "I-State" painted on the turf out in the middle of the plaza.

FYI - I drove by this morning and the edges are still dirt. Maybe they can't get the material they need for opening weekend? Anyway, that might get a little interesting especially if it rains Friday like it's supposed to.
