It's a good company to work for, pay well, but the websense corporate filter thing can be really touchy and blocks a lot of stuff. Like i can view the webcams, but i can't stream any other video, and they turn on and off different filters at times (like youtube is normally blocked, but like when we had a TED talk viewing at lunch for the rest of the day we had youtube available), really it's a crap shoot when it comes to certain things.

New pictures please.  Currie's last video was pretty awful (Jordy was great though).

Once they finish the top section on the field side and get all the seats in the suite seating areas it will look pretty much complete from that side.

Still curious if they're putting BSFS on the front somewhere.

On the inside or outside?

I know it's going on the big glass arch on the outside. Not sure about inside.

Inside. Because they put Big 12 Champs where it was in the renderings.

My guess is it will go on the large tan strip directly below the press level (highest level). 

Also...did you see all the porta-potties?  I counted 23 in front.   :D

I was looking at the renderings that show the limestone field wall and it got me thinking. Will they eliminate the access to the field that there currently is between every section? It would probably look stupid if they put breaks in the wall between every section and there's no reason they need to have access to the field, except for maybe a few places at the ends or corners.

They could add wrought iron gates and it would look fine.  Chances are though they will just enclose the entire thing except for a few areas of accessibility to keep it to code or whatever.

field side is looking really close to done.  guessing "LHC Bill Snyder family stadium" will go on that large blank area just below the media level.

Or they could do versions of these at the bottom of the stairs to blend it in with the rest of the castle.

I see those tree's and potential tree areas and all I see is . . . dead people.

Plus it look a little tight to me, which just begs the question.   How can one look at that and say, "hey, let's plant trees".   But then look at the front of City Hall and say, "Trees?   No, no, way to dangerous"??

Plus, I'd also like to add that we're pretty much past the all the really good stuff on the WSC.   I mean yeah, we'll need to gawk at all the finish work and flat screen TV's when that's all finished, but really, it's all pretty anti-climatic at this juncture.   The ribbon cutting and all the platitudes and the stories about how, "nobody saw this 25 years ago.". 

But really I think it's pretty much time to move on, so if they could, you know chop-chop on some of that new stuff, that'd be great.

While I'm spamming I just want to ask if those guys working on the new "picnic" area had to go through a special, "Potential Tree Planting" zone safety course.    Do they have enough protective gear on?

probably some kind of lock out/tag out involved, i'd imagine
