Anybody have a screen shot of the latest progress? I haven't been able to get on all day and it looks like its shut off at night.

not what I was saying. Was looking for a shop of the stadium reno's not the new astro turf. don't be so Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)

I didn't post this in response to any post you made.  I just figured people would like to see the pic without clicking a link.  Die in a fire, and facepalm yourself, idiot.

No, reading printed emails.

This is currently my favorite thread. It's like one giant Christmas eve, the anticipation is killing me. I, for one, am very excited to have a stadium that belongs in bcs football. Or so I would think if we're spending 75M.

And dispensing Werther's originals every so often. I can see the mounting pile of hard candies now...

Stop it.  Werther's dispensing would require a rider in the supplies appropriation for stadium maintenance.  Bill would find that extravagant.

Astroturf has a webcam for the installation at Louisville too but I think they're doing it wrong.

It's a Field Hockey field, they're getting actual Astro Turf, the latest variety of the old school stuff.

Can not wait till pics come out.

Not sure where PW got his sq ft. estimates but I'll play along with some hypotheticals based on those numbers.

If the new press box stretches a full 120 yards long; that puts Level 1 at roughly 200 feet deep. This means it would reach well into the first half dozen or so parking spots on the west lot......Pretty big! This makes me wonder if PW's square footage number for the first level includes landscaping, plantings, sidewalks etc. etc.

Level 2 at that same width would be 105 feet. deep. I'm assuming it is calculating in some overhang for club seating just as the east side club seats hang a bit over the lower level.

Levels 3 and up would then estimate out at about 95 feet deep. 35 feet deeper than the current press box (which is somewhere in the neighborhood of 200' by 60' at the upper levels) and this is all assuming that levels 2 and up actually stretch a full 360' football field.

It's going to be a castle with a moat.

It probably won't have a moat, but I think it would be much cooler if it did.

[KITNfury]

I think a moat/lazy river would make a lot of people on here happy. Perhaps 2 "lanes". One with angry, hungry crocodiles and the other with lots of intertubes and water bars along the way.

Float trip around BSFS!

I want to replace Harley Day with this.

I know you aren't making recruit vids anymore, but I think you should really consider digging up your favorite GY!BE song to make a really dramatic video that shows architectural features that you would like to see added to BSFS. Really have it build to a sweeping dramatic climax of majestic limestone towers or Chris Fowler sitting at the ESPN gameday desk in front of all our new awesome stuff.

I'd prefer to do one with motion pictures of Snyder's Family Stadium exploding/imploding, never to be rebuilt.
