You should just be able to refresh this thread to see the progress.

Should be one sweet stadium when finished.

Sweet, this is easier than having to go to the page and keep refreshing. New pics should be up about every 3 minutes or so.

Thanks danefan :thumb:

It will all seem like a waste of money the first time the "glorified club team" comes in and beats you like a drum.

I think its going to look something like Washington Grizzly Stadium. I wonder if anyone has any pics of that for comparison purposes?

I don't think so. There can't be more than a handful of people in Montana who can afford cameras.

I don't think Tech will ever agree to come to JMU. So we got that going for us.

Tech is the "prison" team. Old Dominion is the "glorified club team" according to your radio announcer.

According to your coach too.... :thumb:

"Some people have asked why we weren't considered for the playoffs," Wilder said. "We didn't deserve to be considered for the playoffs. We lost at Fordham. Fordham lost to Rhode Island, and Rhode Island lost its next 10 games and was winless in the CAA.

"I told them we wouldn't have won a game in the CAA this season. We would have been rolled by everybody. I think they got the message."

This is about as interesting as the UNI Turf replacement web cam... at least theirs was a continuous feed.

Well hey, they think we've surpassed UVA and that they should replace the bottom half of the ACC with some CAA teams... so we may be able to get that home and home :lol:

Honestly though, how exciting is it really to watch a building being built in real time? Someone down there needs to do something to add a little excitement...a water-balloon slingshot from the top of Eagle, random grenade tosses, ravenous wolves released onto the field....SOMETHING :nod:

I am doing color commentary in the race between each side to see who gets to the middle first. I have to do it while I'm pretending to be on the phone so the people walking by my office don't get weirded out...well, more weirded out.

Despite what appears to be a clear size disadvantage, left side's increased mobility is really paying off. Right side is working outside-in, while Left side is working inside-out. At this point, its still up in the air, but I think Left side may have what it takes!

Yea, I really thought Right side was working faster, but it appears that was just an optical illusion. The Left side has really started to take off and appears to be handling the detail part of the demolition a little bit better...

:lol:

I hope they build the new stands from the middle out...

If you watch long enough, they'll work for six minutes, then break for 30, then get back at it for another 6 minutes. Seriously, if they really worked, we'd have a 50,000 seat stadium ready for graduation in May.

How did you get federal employees to build your stadium?
