A few shots from today.  It's hard to appreciate just how big it is until you stand in front of the arch and look up.

It's right.  The Dev only spanned the middle three sections.

Why do the construction cams look so hazy? It's like this thing is being built in Lubbock. Can somebody give those lenses a wipe?
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

I'm told there will be an 8 to 12 week delay in getting the rest of the powercats (on back order), but this should not impact the certificate of occupancy.

I remember going to the Spring game the year when the Dev opened in the Fall and thinking it was huge, and I remember other schools coming to tour it when it opened to get ideas for their own new press boxes.

same scenario to an extent for me, i remember my first game and thinking it was massive (the whole stadium not just the press box) but as i got older and went to more away games i felt awkward and small timey. glad we have our new digs to help that feeling go away

This is the great mystery.  unfortunately, all of the renderings are daylight.  Need an insider.
