NO, no, no. I have a large, old oak tree that I am trying to save. It started going brown in July.

WE NEED THIS RAIN!

Capt. Dan - no disrespect, but as a fellow construction manager, it is not looking good for the park to be done. I know that you can cover a lot of ground (especially working shifts), but this weather is not gonna help you out. Hard to get masonry production in the cold and wet. Good luck.

Will there be fans inside the ballpark?

fans could make it kind of chilly that time of year...i say we use space heaters instead...or you know, just suck it up.

i will be there feb 17 with or without a bleacher to beat my ring on.

Fans might make it more tolerable in the summer, though.

Well, I'm not a construction guy, but I fully expect the stadium and field to be fully functional by February 17, though not "done".

It will be similar to the death star in Return of the Jedi. At first appearance, it will look incomplete, non-functioning. Then, the game will start and you will say "that thing's operational!"

The main question should be if they are going to flip the third switch on opening day?

Not the 3rd switch!

I keep envisioning the opening to the 6 million dollar man....

We can rebuild it....

The exterior looks pretty bad ass black like that!
Capt Dan
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Many new trees coming.
ensign_beedrill
How long do you want to ignore this user?
But I liked the one on top of the building. Keeping it up there would be just so ridiculous and cool. Everyone would ask, "Why is there a tree on the top of your stadium?" And we would just shrug and say, "It's always been there."

Tar paper definitely under-appreciated as an exterior look.

Too bad neither Lockheed Martin

nor Northrop Grumman


were the primary donors for the renovations.

I've been in DeQuincy, LA these past two days and my dad and I are driving back right now. I have a Red Cross first aid/cpr class tomorrow so I don't know if I'll be able to go by while the sun is out. My guess is they have been doing more interior work. On the outside they are bricking the 3rd base side which you can view on the Olsen Cam on aggieathletics baseball page. They have probably done more work on the outside walls of the suites/press box.

Capt Dan do you think you could send me the Skanska weekly update that has interior pictures?

If someone goes by tomorrow for the mens basketball game take some pictures. On the first page there are websites posted that you can use to upload the pictures.

the real question is why would you go to the mens basketball game?
Captain Pablo
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Why would you give a thumbs down to the prospect of someone attending the men's basketball game?
ftworthag02
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Hmmm let me think, maybe because the men's team sucks this year. I would rather watch the Olsen construction cam than watch that. Btho Illinois Chicago!
Captain Pablo
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Who cares what you'd rather do? Why thumbs down somebody else's decision to support the basketball team during a rough season?

That's actually a water proofing material applied like a thick paint.
