I swear I remember cords and temporary power being ran all over the place in the old Nelson press box by the last game of the 2012 season because contractors had already started ripping stuff out of there. We played Texas on Dec 1st and blew that thing up on Dec 15th.
I find it hard to imagine a contractor hasn't been allowed to start because of funding questions. I don't think they'll get everything finished, but to not even start...
