Was talking to a friend who went to the new mexico game. She said there are alot of cracks and chipped cement in the stadium walls which worried her during the game. Anyone else notice it? For all you 3rd row people, eat lightly and pray i guess....

been like that for years..there are places where the wall is about an inch from the deck foundation and places on the 2nd deck where there are holes in the foundation and you can see right down to the 1st deck.
I hear the zone is in good shape though.

If the 3rd deck falls it's the folks on 1 and 2 that need to pray.
Hopefully we have a good PM program in place for this type of thing.

no, 3rd deck sits behind 2nd deck..so I think the 3rd deck will just fall off the back of the stadium..2nd deck overhangs the 1st deck so it would ride the 1st deck down, and 3rd deck would just snap and still fall off back of stadium. 2nd deck is safest place!
Instead of snake pit, can we start calling it the crack house?

The factor of safety on the stadium is probably like 40 or something like that, soooo I'm not going to be too worried.
Just needs a little caulk and duct tape.
Kyle is a mess in need of severe renovations...sans the Zone, of course
all you 3rd row people better beware!
Not so fast about the zone. Serious cracks and getting much worse have developed at the west side ramp of the zone. Looks like it could be an alkalai-silica reaction or something similar. It is a lot worse than last year.
But how much does Kyle Field weigh?

Did somebody say "crack"?
definite crack (and a Budweiser) on Row 10.
I would propose we "crack out" Kyle with everybody wearing their low rise pants, but that's probably been done to death in Fayetteville.
You don't think they have engineers looking over the structure on a regular basis?
Hey, if you are afraid to use your tickets, my friends and I will gladly go in your place...
It would worry me more if there were not cracks in the cement/concrete, because that just wouldn't be normal.
....especially after 30 years that 3rd deck has been around, more years for 1st and 2nd decks.

I think they should renovate the whole stadium after seeing how nice ou and t.u.'s stadium looked. I know its more about the team you put on the field than the stadium but nice bathrooms would be appreciated
If KYLE falls and nobody's there to see it, does it make a noise?
Well, they did tear down old Yankee Stadium last year, due in large part to chunks of old concrete falling off the decks. I'd have to assume that the Civil Engineering profession has some sort of inspection guidelines about high-occupancy structures. Concrete does crack, rebar corrodes, and foundations shift under loads.
Well the birds would fly off right away if kyle fell. So id have to say yes on the noise if nobody was there.
Time to tear down the east and west structures and rebuild to match the zone.
I guess I am not going today...

Speaking as an architect, there are 2 kinds of concrete.
Cracked Concrete, and concrete that has yet to crack.
Chalk this one up to Chics find ANYTHING to worry about.
The stadiums are designed with such a high safety factor that they will be among the last things standing if we were to all just disappear.
