I am so tired of looking at dirt. When are they going to build something cool? :impatient:

All this thread does is reiterate to me how little I know about construction.

Likewise... Now, with that said, what I do know is that creating the foundation is the longest hardest part.  So, once that's done then this rough rider will seem to shoot up outta the ground.

There is no way in hell with the weather the last several weeks that Vanier 3.0 will be finished behind schedule (unless climate change).  #science

I hope they called 1-800-DIG-SAFE; man, it would be embarrassing if they ran into some utility at this stage of the game.  :ohno:

Looks like the crane to put steel up is now onsite.
Saw that last week.Not as impressive as the two tower cranes from the WSC but still a stud looking machine.

Must have missed that, but yes very. It's pretty exciting, especially since my work has the exact same type of crane to put up steel for the new addition to our building. It's been interesting cause both my work and k-state are building roughly the same sized structures on the sites of former old buildings that needed to be torn down and regraded. So far, watching the action at work is like a 1-2 week preview of what ends up happening at Vanier (we starting hoisting up steel last week).

It is, especially since I have essentially a pretty good front row seat to it all day.

I wouldn't get anything done if my window overlooked that.

Ehh, I'll give Baylor, TCU and maybe OSU a pass since they've already so much for their stadiums. But yeah, that's hilarious. Dick wagglin' good. I want Currie now to come out and announce East Side Stadium stuff like tomorrow and just keep rubbing it in.

In today's world of college athletics, expansion is stupid. Improving existing player and fan amenities is where it is at.
