I've seen it many times in person and it looks just like the drawings to me. I guess if you aren't experienced in looking at drawings you may not have gotten a grasp for how large this stadium is. To me, it looks just like the drawings.

I, too, am vastly superior to the rest of you and knew how big it was going to be even before the drawings came out.

I guess I'm trying to say I never realized how few people can read drawings until this project came out. All the "OH MY GOD IT LOOKS SO MUCH BIGGER IN REAL LIFE" comments are laughable to someone who has been reading drawings for many, many years.

It looks just like the drawings to me. I went through my "dang this is a big boy" state of awe the first time I rolled the drawings out.

pfffft, I guess it's pretty big

I think the point is that most people have a hard time conceptualizing exactly what that looks like in person.

Sure, they've seen the zone. But with the removal of the ramps, the addition of the vomitories and the SEZ, and a redone east facade, it's hard to really paint the picture if you will.

A built out structure typically looks better and is more impressive than a 2d drawing.

I for one am so good at looking at drawings that the real thing can't even compare and looks SMALLER.

How many people on hear have had the chance to "roll out the drawings"? Also, if you are used to reading drawings, then what it looks like in real life should be of no surprise. But drawings, or renderings for that matter, don't give you the same perspective as looking through your own eyes with your natural peripheral vision of the landscape around you. Now, if you look at the drawings and then go stand next to, say, the MSC and face Kyle Field, you should be able to visualize it. We don't all get to do that.

wbt5845, I, too said that it will be much bigger than people think because I am used to looking at drawings, but I'm not going to be condescending about it. Don't steal everyone's joy.

wbt4736845 or whatever,

You are not an architect nor do you have a superhuman ability to picture the scale of a drawing in your mind.

And if you do, that has to be the most insignificant super power of all time.

None of us has seen a set of drawings for the stadium. So excuse our lack of insider knowledge. Most of us have seen artists renderings and photos. We've seen photos of the architects model (a few have been on campus and seen the model).

Congrats you're special. Want a cookie?

lol at all the people crying about how big this thing is. *Sniff *sniff. It is too big. *sniff *sniff

This is just like the 'Bunch of Old Ladies Bi+ching' forum.

Take it there.

Right on Builder93 or some such number.

See, you also have that mutant ability but you're not a wanker about it. Mutants have a responsibility to protect the rest of us. Not to make us feel less than.

EMG ILLEGAL DRONE VIDEO! TAKE IT DOWN!

ERMAHGERRRRRRRD HAAAATTTTTT!

I've been "reading drawings" for years as well, and yes, the pictures I see on here look like what I imagined from seeing the plans. BUT, I was in town this past weekend and walked around it in person, and DAMN the pictures and plans don't do it justice. You can picture the scale all you want with photos and construction plans, but even for people in the industry, standing next to it is awe inspiring.

Sounds like some are only rolling out 2d Dwgs.

See, Worm is different. Bc, even though he actually has the super power of being able to imagine how big stuff is by looking at lines on a piece of paper...

He too can be inspired. Like the rest of humanity.

Blue Star for you, mutant brother.

Came to this page looking for construction pics...leaving to find construction pics.

You must not have looked very hard, friend.

Thanks scotch. I'll finally be back up there late next week. Does anyone know when the new EKG statue will be brought in?

The stairs to the press box are absolutely beautiful.

I can't believe we got through this whole page without the 2 phrases:

"That's what she said"

and

"If you know what I mean"

"your mom" get honorable mention, though.

Lookin' good, Kyle.

Will this be finished in time for the first game?
