That grain elevator 

NBAF?

[Trim]

How do I post the video, or at least a screenshot, to Shwan's facebook group page?

Yes, was going to post this

I can't believe I didn't predict that would happen. 

On the same day as the Donald Sterling thing!

Yeah, Currie needs to chill on the "you are the first to see this"

Anyone have anything from the sqwauks about the project? Would love to hear the butthurt they have

[KCFDcat]

Looks pretty badass. 

My only beef is due to no player lounge.   

Maybe it's a part of phase 3.2?

Just noticed the neon purple "family" just above the tunnel exit as the players come onto the field.  The purple lighting inside the tunnel is going to look great for the 1st night, late fall kickoff.

Game kicks at 1245.  NEZ reveal video (which is awesome btw) will play after players take field, but before kickoff.  Project has a dedicated website that launches immediately after spring game reveal. 

Video presents both corners as being completed.  Not sure if they'll have time to do NE corner in this phase. Time will tell.

Guys, I think I got to the bottom of the tree issue. I think they're afraid that with all the EMAWBoners that will be going around over the next few years there won't be enough space for trees.

Text from the new Vanier website:

Can we complete the project between football seasons?

Yes, we have been advised that the vast majority of the construction can take place between football seasons to minimize the in-season impact on our coaches, student-athletes and fans. However, it is likely that the northeast corner section and northeast video board will not be completed until the 2016 or 2017 season.

still wanted to see a fully signalized ped crossing to the north across Kimball. maybe in the future phases.

One last nitpick I promise. But, will that sliver of grass hill on the northwest corner be there or not? Cause some of the pictures are conflicting.

thinking it was a mistake that got through to the final renderings. sometimes the higher end renderings are sent out of house, and things sometimes get missed or adjusted. The ones that look in house all have it as seating.

[EMAWzified]

I know it won't be much and that's not what's driving the expansion, but how many seats will it add?

are u talking about the terraced area?  that will be standing room only.  same is northeast corner.  They had to terrace the corners because the angle of the seating is much more severe in the NEZ seats than it is for the east and west stands.   

[Belvis Noland]

I know it won't be much and that's not what's driving the expansion, but how many seats will it add?

I don't think it adds any.  Because, the design requires the northernmost section on the east side to be entirely eliminated, in order to make to the bowl symmetrical. 

[Duncan]

The new north stadium expansion will result in a much better game experience for fans located in this area due to better viewing angles and wide rows. The seating capacity impact has not yet been finalized, but we do not project a significant increase. Current plans show a total increase of approximately 1,000 seats. Our goals for this project are more about improving the fan experience and game atmosphere than increasing capacity.

looking at the renderings, gotta be less than a hundred

no, the sliver of green in this photo. just looks like they forgot to extend the seating.

Gotcha. It's just a little annoying, and the fact that it was in the unveiling video too concerned me.

I like the outdoor seating they are adding on the sides of the WSC press level too.
