Still do not understand why we didn't connect the two sides for complete full enclosed end. $$ Heard we are behind schedule, anyone know how long ?

I don't know but I do know that for a job this size, weather days are factored in when calculating completion date. Bad weather early will put you behind, then you get a dry spell and get to work without having weather interruptions and you make up days. In the end, those cancel out, but it takes a long time for it to happen. Personally, I won't get too worried about being behind until the last 6 months or so. Now if we are already behind schedule by 6 weeks 6 months into the construction process, that's a different story.

I took this building for granted in my mind - it really is going to be a great addition to our stadium and atmosphere - can't wait to see it finished. Going to be fun watching it come together during the season

Going to be fun watching it come together during the season And hear it. I think I most looking forward to the first big crowd in it and the sound once it is fully enclosed.

Was in TROY yesterday dropping my son off at TROY baseball camp, the endzone is really coming along and is going to be a great addition. We have such a beautiful campus, it makes me proud to be a Trojan. What are they doing on all of that area near the track and field complex? looked like some major site work. Also, ran into Tevaris McCormick....he was super pumped up about this year, this guy is a winner and a great Trojan.

They are building a new parking lot in that location that is supposed to be completed by the end of fall semester.

Thanks, that is a big project. That is a lot of dirt to fill that big hole.

[b Just finished hospital addition down here and as with most buildings iI have watched go up bottom to top....just have never seen building go up Left half first then Right half as far as infrastructure...but since I am constructionaly challenged thought I would ask....I even thought someone who was contemplating "The Cornhole Tower" could tell me...

Ok let me be the idiot!!! Is the building being built in halves at a time with the frame work...I know I am showing my ignorance but I can NOT be the only one?🤷♂️ My oldest son hasa civil engineering degree and construction experience so I asked him this question. Since he isn't involved in the construction he couldn't give a definite answer but speculated that the construction is proceeding like this for 1 of 2 reasons. First, and most likely - because of the amount of concrete that will be poured for the seating area, building like this will allow adequate time for half of the concrete to cure, making it easier to have the sections match up. Basically the second section will be poured to match up to the first section, joining it loosely. The other possible reason would be because it is necessary to allow some kind of access for equipment or supplies. Again this isn't as likely as the first possibility. i can't wait for the season to start so I'll gave more interesting things to write about than why the building looks like this at this point😂

I was wondering IF it might have to do with HOW the teams are going to enter the stadium this year!? It is my understanding that BOTH teams will enter from the same point, so I am wondering if they are attempting to finish a temporary entry point through the construction area from Tine Davis Fieldhouse to the playing surface.

Soooooo, I just finished watching the latest camp update video and there were a couple of shots of the project. Even a panoramic view, left to right. What really struck me is that it appears there will be a connecting walkway from home side to North end zone. Will the other side be the same?
BTW, it is really coming along, can't wait until the 18th.
