I mean Currie said it was going to be a picnic area with shade trees.  Guessing some picnic tables with some nice trees.  Should really spruce up that end of the stadium.

what happens when the leaves fall off?  :runaway:

Let's not talk about it.

Youngsters who have disappointing practices and don't improve a little bit every day have to go rake up the leaves

Need a concrete insider to explain what's going on here.  Please also explain to me where the "shade trees" will be planted. 



They are pouring in strips to allow for forming of the individual panels to reduce cracking.   This is often done in large areas of exterior concrete.

The squares likely will be either pavers or stamped/colored concrete.

The squares are frames for tree grates  :crossfingers: , you can see the angled rebar attached to the frames:



Looks like they are installing bands of standard gray concrete and colored concrete (you can see the welded wire mesh in the other alternating bands).

you might be right on the grates, I missed them, but there do appear to be sill angles around the squares.    I'd be surprised if they alternate colors of concrete though.    They just have it ready to pour once they strip the forms.

they really should get one more cat that is removable and then play a where's waldo type game with it. like weekly just affix it to a different part of the structure and then challenge people to pick it out amongst all of the other stationary cats.

Good idea.

Probably should start with a continuous row of cats instead of the ribbon board.

no, they won't. i heard that they will turn it off two hours before game and then turn it back on after the last second ticks off only to be then turned back off again two hours before the next game.

OK, good. You had me a bit worried with the 24/7 remark. I've heard the same rumor as you have, then. I've also heard that they are currently remixing the song to add the wildcat roar to it and that they are working out the logistics of blasting pyro from the towers in time with the song.
