Are they behind schedule? Well it depends on who you ask. If you ask an IT person they will say "hell yes they are behind schedule". The project just recently (last 2 weeks)decided on a vendor for the Data/Voice network (IBM), this decision should have been made long ago. What most people don't realize is the complexity of the work needed to be done to bring a project of this size "on line" in terms of networking, months of planning, research and physical labor to install the network. This project will be using a massive amount of equipment not to mention the actual running of all the necessary cabling and misc. copper, fiber, etc.
When I look at the construction progress it seems as though they are making great strides but without a network infrastructure it's almost useless. This new stadium will rely heavily on the Data Network, I just hope it's worth all the money they saved by making a "last minute" decision. You get what you pay for.

I think you have Kyle Field confused with TexAgs.

South endzone won't be fully operational at the start of the season...trust me I know 
At the press conference a few days back they said they are on time and the stadium will absolutely be open on the day it is supposed to.
Lookin' pretty good!
Note the work they're doing on the NE plaza.

Can someone explain why the SW gate tower is not even with the SE one?
Asymmetries don't bother me...except for that one...

From the outside, Kyle Field will be symmetrical from three sides. From the south, the Bright building will block the view of the asymmetry anyway.

Hmmmm...why the asymmetry though? Is it a function of the staggered construction schedule!?
Function of the fact that the east side wasn't extended as the field moved south (to improve site lines) and the west side will be rebuilt centered on the relocated field. The towers are symmetrical about the center of each side.

Thanks...I guess Kyle was odd and quirky before the renovation...it will be odd and differently quirky after...seems fitting..
Another great set of pics posted by Scotch.

Interesting how they had to "shave down" the southern end of the east side's second deck where it meets the second deck of the SEZ...surely not the finished product, still interesting...

That maroon decking on the front edge of the third deck looks bad.
it always gets worn down, they just replaced that a few years ago I believe.

Sorry but that didn't wear out...it was cut...natural weathering doesn't work that way...
South corner of the top row of section 239 is gonna have a tough time seeing the scoreboard.

Maybe.
But just for one season.
And they will still have a clear view of a board with the score on it.
I really didn't notice that they cut the bottom of it, I was talking about the maroon board's color wearing down.
A few photos from yesterday:

Any idea what the bars are extending out from the SEZ video board?

I imagine something along those lines or some other form of expansion that doesn't stretch all the way to the next set of steel risers
Anyone think the canopy looks a bit like the Millenium Falcon?

Look at the frame that's up, look at the rendering, then look at the frame being put together on the field. They're going to hoist the frame on the field up and expand the frame that's up already. Then they'll do the same to the other side.
