The new light standards (the actual mount that goes ontop of the those poles they attached to the east side) are in the parking lot.

rough ridin' huge.
Roughly 1.4x the size of a semi trailer.

I've never had seats at the top of the east side.  (typically in the club spaces sipping liquor).  But, wouldn't it appear that those lights are kinda low?  especially in comparison to the old lights.  There can't be but maybe 10ft of clearance between the people and the lights.  Doesn't seem like much space, considering how much brighter they're supposed to be.

One of the main reasons the new lighting will be so much "brighter" is that the sports lighters will be so much closer to the field.

I've sat really close to lights at other stadiums and it's not that big of a deal

Metal bleachers and mismatched turf cause Lupus, btw.

So what are the chances of more mismatched turf going down on the sideline slide of death too? I know it says field perimeter upgrades on one of the phases, but will we fix what's already mumped or just add more? Will Harley Day keep it from happening at all? Or will nothing ever happen like this Limestone wall dream? Guys...

man what a desolate area around the stadium.  it's bad enough that the stadium is so ugly, why can't they at least have a decent setting?  I guess I forget sometimes how blessed we are.

new track is happening at the northeast corner of 6th street and K-10. far away from campus, because that's where you put a new facility when someone else pays for it because the school can't afford it. congrats on your national title in track, we think so highly of track and field that we are putting you 6 miles from campus, lol

It really does make more sense for it to be closer to St. Margaret's Episcopal Church to be fair...
