They have been putting in the seating stands on the west side, and the frame of the score board. Looking at the webcam, the light stanchions are going up as well.

It is supposed to be finished in August, and first game is scheduled for September 18, versus Elon. Here is the gallery from last week.

Like others said earlier, once the seating actually is installed/being installed, it does look "fuller", than just an empty brick shell.

I hope we are able to get enough tix through UD for the demand. I haven't gotten my season ticket info yet, but I'm definitely ordering 4 tix for the UR game.

I like the backs on all the bleachers. A definite comfort plus. Also stops the guy behind you from kneeing you in the back.

This stadium looks...... stupid. They took an almost blank canvas and painted some bullsht. Totally disapointed in this renovation. Easterns 50year old stadium is harder that that! Tell the guy who designed that sht that his daddy should have worn a rubber.

Well thankfully the spiders will not likely play EWU. So you will never be forced to come watch a game at UR. We are pretty happy with the way it is turning out. And yes we even like the web gates.

If you do end up ever playing, hope to god that the game is NOT at EWU. That red field cannot be good on the eyes.

Let me ask you a question... Why do you keep putting down the red carpet? Is it bc MSU's turf is better than UMs? Or that in a few years MSU's stadium will also be better than UM's? Is it bc The Red Carpet has gotten more press in 2 days that you (personally) have gotten in your life? Seriously. Is it because UM is about to get shutout of the BSC trophy for the first time in such-n-such years? Is it bc UM has defecated on themselves the last 3 straight times they advanced to the Championship game? Not to mention in 2009 they were UNDEFEATED. Is it bc USC's situation is alot like UMs.. and we all know they're both are at the ends of great runs? (pun intended for UM) Advice for you, you hear grown men talking 1.Sit Down, 2.Shut Up, & 3.Take heed to all this wisdom you and all these other losers on this site are gettin for free from me.

UR's strategy behind a smallish stadium may be working...several neighbors of mine have said they will be buying season tix so that can go to JMU,W&M and ODU games in the future...they never had to buy season tix before, they could pick and choose even on game day except for games with the my beloved Dukes of James Madison!

If they did have to play at UR, it would be a long ride home back to Washington after a crushing loss
