explain this limestone walls thing to me regarding BSFS. Are they going case the whole upper deck with limestone or is this just like a ten foot wall? I don't understand... Can you just lay limestone over something (like Bramlage for instance) or is it a much harder process?? Also, when the &@#% are we going to get bathrooms and crap in the upper deck of BSFS?

The Limestone wall will be a 3 or 4 foot high wall seperating the lower seating bowl from the football field. 

On the current Bramlage structure they could put on a limestone veneer, but probably won't because of the expense, and weight issues.   If look at the addition to Vanier, most of that limestone is actually a veneer over a concrete wall. 

The new basketball faciilty proposed for the West side of Bramlage will have an all limestone outer wall though, or most of it will be, there's a lot of glass invovled as well around the top of the outside, to allow natural lighting into the practice court.
