Lower deck walkways are being poured.

Brian Davis from the statesman posted some new renderings. For now, construction continues on the south end zone. I don't think we'll have a football season this year.

Unfortunately I think you might be right.

State and UT projects are continuing. The Alexan crane is swinging around too.

Pretty cool. They are close to topping out on the SE suite tower and the finally got the SW corner up out of foundation.

Is it just me or do the beams that are just sitting on top of the east grandstands seem a tad precarious? I'm guessing there are structural supports directly under it.

It also looks like they are putting an all glass wall on the top floor of Montcrief which is pretty cool.

Ha. That's what I first thought. But it would be because it's for seating angled from the webcam POV.

Holy shit, lots more renderings here, many showing the inside: https://twitter.com/simplyCoachO/sta...12537180352512

I think it's interesting that they preserved Moncrief kinda.

Good thing the project won't be completed before the 2021 season; I don't think there's going to be 2020 season.

It's hard to say. If social distancing continues throughout the summer, I doubt we will see any games.

At the very best, the team will be sequestered for the entire season (conference games only - no out-of-conference games this year) and play before empty stadiums.

However, if students are not allowed back on campus for the fall, I have a difficult time seeing college football this year at all.

Yea they basically preserved the Moncrief shell and gutted the inside. cdain3 at Surly got these shots off the webcam when the light was right so you can see. There has since been a layer of concrete go in right in front of the top floor so it's continuous from Moncrief to the new end zone.

Syndic · #**257** Posted **Apr 27, 2020, 5:45 PM**

Nice. I'm assuming it just made timing/budget sense to keep the shell of Moncrief. Also, it allows the value of his donation to be preserved.

I'm curious what the outside is going to look like. That's one angle we haven't seen in any renderings.

KevinFromTexas · #**258** Posted **Apr 27, 2020, 6:04 PM**

1974. This was two years after the western upper deck construction when they also built the 11-story Bellmont Hall into the upper deck.

There is this rendering of the back.

Nice, I don't remember seeing that one before. I hope they get rid of that ugly white dome thing on Moncrief. It's cool inside of there but from the outside not so much.
