Here's a picture from yesterday afternoon

AgCat, would you have an approximate address of that hill? An intersection or nearby residence maybe?

Just curious.

I am trying to catch up on this thread and am only on page 60, so sorry if this was already answered. The hill is right near the Royal Pecan Company. It has been our reference point for years that we are real close when driving from Austin. And it is a glorious sight.

Any updates?

I've walked by just about every day. There's always people working, but there's not really anything that's changed enough to take pictures of. Still basically the same amount of the facade taken off. It looked like they've been digging out an area right in front of the right zone ticket booth, and I believe there was a cement truck out there today (or sometime recently at least). I expect they're done with major changes until after Thanksgiving (the final home game)

When are the construction cams going to be back on line?

Alright. I was planning on getting a final set of pictures today before everything geared up again for the offseason. However, they've already done a lot. I'll post pictures later this afternoon or evening

Hurry up

Shano is right Gibbs... Better hurry...

South Endzone is going to collapse soon...

Turns out one section "deflects too much"

Am I correct in assuming the west 1st deck is now gone or largely gone?

You would be wrong. They are imploding the whole side on Dec 21st.

Is this the thread of perpetual b*tching and whining how our stadium isn't perfect in every way?

Ummmm, wrong. I believe they are ripping out the first deck similar to the east side demo before imploding second and third decks.

Nope. 1st deck is being brought down with heavy equipment. Second and third decks get explosives.

Yall weren't kidding when you told me to hurry. In the hour and a half that was between when I walked by and when I took the pictures, they removed the T from the zone and started removing the lights on the west side.

On a side note, this half of the pictures should be better. I recently got a new phone, and it has much better picture quality, and a huge difference in zoom capability. First time shooting with it today, so I'll get the hang of it shortly.

Nice. You get a samsung phone?

In terms of what's happened with the first deck of the west side, I honestly have no idea. It's just about impossible to see in anywhere now that there's a south endzone. Hopefully the construction cams will be turned on soon

Yep. Got the Galaxy S5. Not as user friendly as iPhone, but I'm starting to get the hang of it

When're they going to fix the SEZ so it'll quit bouncing so much? I don't feel like being up there when it collapses and I fall to my death.

Scotch snagged some pics today as well (hope he doesn't mind me linking to them) that show a bit what they did on the south part of the west side. It looks like they're taking the exterior off from the lower levels and clearing out all the old scrap/junk they can probably sell to a salvage place. Kind of like they did with the beginning of the east side last year.

Cams are back up

For a minute there I forgot about the whole second part of the construction thing

That's what you get when you leave us!

Forgive me

Whoa, either the Cams are not Live or they are working backwards. Below are the "Live" images at 5:18p, but there is less work done than the McGibblets pics from 4:42p.

The cameras are wonky. They are on a :02 after cycle. So the "live images" are actually a moving video of the camera beginning at 2 minutes after the shown hour.

So, at 4:42 when you refresh the live image, you are seeing what occurred at 4:02p. If you let that play for 20 minutes without refreshing, you will be viewing the 4:22p live image. If you refresh it at any point, it will revert back to the 4:02 image and you will start over again.

The "archived images" generally update faster than the live images, but are a still image of the :02 mark of that hour. So MCG's pics are likely the 5:02 still images while the live view is still on the 4:02 loop.

Hopefully that clears up the construction cam mess.
