looking at the stadium...they appear to be putting in the endzone area (next to ath center) too early. They have more concrete seats to bring in via 18 wheel flatbeds like previously done....will they be able to manuver betweeen the endzone section they are now about to pour?

Where will the pre-fab seating structures be used, to finish the East side stands?

Oh no!! They're going to have to tear the whole thing down and start over. I knew we wouldn't have a new stadium for the 2011 season. :lol: :lol: :blink:

I'm really starting to get concerned about the mental health of some of our posters.

So you're starting the rumor that the stadium won't be finished for the 2011 season? :o I just knew it wasn't going to happen!!

Commercial construction projects have a person called a "superintendant" who supervises all aspects of the job, including making sure that something as big as that crane will be able to leave the site once its work is done, as well as seeing that a truck such as you mentioned (usually not as wide as said crane) will be able to deliver the necessary materials in the proper sequence. It kinda looks like they know what they're doing. Also, one of the HKS engineers told me that going to a game in that stadium will be a lot more enjoyable than going to one in the Cowboys Stadium (which they also built). And yes, he told me that before the Cowboys started playing this year's regular season.

while i don't believe this is a mess up by the builders...there are instances of companies messing up. my friend who is a tech grad told me that one of their arenas made within the last decade (fuzzy on the details) boxed in a crane and had to do extra work to get it out.

When NT built Fouts they forgot to take the track out before they finished it and it had to stay in. True story. :huh:

To show you have concern for the well being of others puts you on the road to recovery....keep working at it and keep taking your meds...you will make, if not next year, maybe the year after next. If we fail to see progress, as hoped for, we will call Dr. Phil.

I find that the space is often larger than it appears...the object, sadly, not so much.

Space? Iono man... I just think space is SUPER grey.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      So very true. I guess they use the same financial model as the WNBA. At least in "professional" sports they are salary control and caps. I am not faulting the players, but at some point, all sides are going to have to try and find a solution, or I don't see how many programs continue with football.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Third home game in a row under 3K in attendance and 4th for the season. Now at 2,947, average attendance is down almost 13% (439 per game) compared to the first 7 home games last year. We are now down 1,185 in average attendance compared to last season's full year average. The home conference slate kicks off with UAB on New Year's Eve. Hopefully, we will be able to chip away at this attendance deficit as some familiar foes visit the Super Pit, but it looks like hitting a 4K average and growing average attendance for the 3rd year in a row is becoming increasingly out of reach. Just win and they will come they said. SMH. On the bright side, we're currently sitting at 9-3 and 7-0 at home and own the 2nd best Net rating in the conference only behind Memphis. Unfortunately, the conference is incredibly weak this year so we don't have many opportunities to improve that ranking. Aside from winning on the road at Memphis, holding serve in terms of a Net rating may be the best we can do from here. Actually, looking at the schedule, we do have three Q2 road games (Wichita St, FAU and Temple). They need to keep winning and we will need to win those three to improve our resume.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Tell me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf without telling me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf. Here is SMU’s attendance claim for this season; one so amazing that they made a nifty graphic for it. The only issue? Well, they played 7 home games and the stadium seats 32k…so an average attendance of 32,651 which is standing room only and beyond capacity is a bit difficult to swallow and leads one to believe that only believers in SMU math would buy it. And save me the “but look at North Texas’ attendance” garbage. Even someone as committed to being separated from reality as you knows that if North Texas 1) bought their way into the ACC to allow us to fill our stadium with opposing fans, 2) overpaid for players, and 3) had the easiest conference schedule possible to stack wins…Apogee would have been LEGITIMATELY sold out. And let me save you the trouble of the next silly argument you were just itching to type as a retort…yes, we have far more alumni, but we are not situated DEAD CENTER in a city of 1.3 Million people like SMU has been for decades
