The amount of progress since just yesterday is amazing! Everything may not be in its perfect place on Saturday, but I guarantee it will be as close to perfect as possible.

GO CATS!

Thanks for the update things look like they are coming along nicely. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Looks like they will have even more work to be completed after Saturday then originally expected.

Do you know how much work they originally expected to have?

Roll those kegs out in every section and everyone will be pleased with the new stadium.

I cannot imagine the amount of pressure everyone at that stadium is under right now.

This stadium is going to be absolutely fantastic! Sure, there may be some things left to be done on 9/5, but I have a ticket, the field is ready and my bleacher seat in Section 22 is in place. I personally don't give a crap about concessions or bathrooms. Pissing in a trough never bothered me and I never, ever buy food at the games. I, for one, Can. Not. Wait! UK has done little to nothing for football for the past 50 years, and now when they finally do, some of you all piss and moan because the caviar is domestic, and not Russian. I don't get it.

I readily admit that I have never been a Barnhart supporter, but he has certainly won my respect and admiration through this effort. Bring on the Ragin' Cajuns!

the crazy thing, and I agree with everything DA just said, is that this will ultimately help basketball. i just don't get why it took so long. talk about pressure, the rupp arena folks will be feeling it after the way the football set up is going to be (stadium, club, facilities generally, practice facility). the ability to do this makes me think on campus arena is a possibility.

anyway, i am about to jump outta my skin for saturday.

I know they can't have recruits in the recruiting room while the game is going on but it would be nice if you could see more of the field from inside the room. Maybe railing or some kind of see through wall would have been a better option than concrete. I think being able to see more of the field would add to the experience of being in the recruiting room. Other than that small complaint the stadium is going to look great.

Gotta keep in mind the angle and proximity to the glass that the picture is taken. I suspect as you get closer to the glass wall the field comes into view better.

Would like to see recruiting room.

 

[anthonys735]

You can see the field pretty well from in there. Really well from the patio.

 

[scalf]

What/where is the The Loft?

 

[Uncle_Blue]

What/where is the The Loft?

It is at the top of the first tier with the walk out patio and all of the blue seats underneath.

That's Mitch

 

[SDcatfan13]

The idea is to have the recruits go onto the patio, which should be pretty incredible for them during the pregame stuff, surrounded by the students.

 

[bthaunert]

That's Mitch

I thought that might be him. Thanks for all the pictures you've been posting.

I'd say that if the forecast holds (it will) then all Mitch and Russ really have to do to keep the premium seat and suite customers happy is make sure the club air is cold, the beer colder, and the food catered quality rather than concession quality. I'm betting they have all of this firmly under control already. The aesthetics can be remedied before the Gator fry.

^^^^^^ This is exactly right. Everyone (even the big money donors) realize where we stand construction-wise and usually people that can afford those kinds of seats are big-picture people. I think virtually everbody is fine for some game 1 hiccups as long as we get it right for the rest of the year and for the next 20.

I promise you the beer, drinks, food, etc will be unbelievable in those suites and premium areas. And they should be for what they are paying. One of my best friends is a big Mississippi state fan/donor and he has 10 seats in the premium area. Their club level food, amenities are nice, but from what I've seen of our proposed area we will blow them away. He always invites me there when we play at Miss St as long as I keep the UK cheering to a minimum.
