Only thing that's missing is the portcullis gate and drawbridge-style ramp that the team runs out of when they take the field.

I do appreciate the info and HAVE TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING FOR A FE MORE DAYS....and maybe building this way to leave access for team entry's Ding, Ding, Ding....we have a winner. The latest update video confirmed that the building was being built one half before the other so the team would have an entry point onto the field this season.

I was inside the stadium for a Charles Henderson game a week and a half ago and you could already tell a difference in the acoustics and lighting. By this weekend you should really be able to tell a difference.

I saw the construction for the first time yesterday. I was somewhat surprised at the size of the building. The pictures we've seen don't really provide an accurate sense of scale. The additional seats are essentially level with the upper deck. This thing is going to be massive and will truly make The Vet an enclosed bowl. The AD said in the video tour that the top of the tallest steel standing at this time will be the BOTTOM of the new video board. Given the size of the board, the top of that thing will be almost, if not, even with the top of the upper deck as it now exists. This is going to be an addition that makes all TROJANS proud.
HAVOC!

HAVOC!The new scoreboard will be just under twice as big as the existing one.

I think this project plus the new Arena put us in a great position for athletic recruiting. I'm sure these kids are happy to see the school intends to invest and maintain.

Is this board in the west corner of the closed end zone?
If so, are the plans for a new board on the roof of the North End Zone still in the works?

It's funny how math works. Almost Twice as long and almost twice as high doesn't = almost twice the size, it = almost 4 times the size. This sucker is gonna be sweet!
