Doesn't seem like anyone really posted any pics of our new stadium
Opened up with a sell-out, including 2500 on the hill under the new video board.
Empty:

Full:
And some from where I was sitting:
Touchdown:

Start of the 2nd Quarter, when the drunk students were still making their way in from tailgate to the hill:
It's amazing how much
closer the stands are compared to McAndrew. Having a wrap-around on one side (and likely on both sides for a lot of games) is amazing for atmosphere. When we've got a real game, it's going to be awesome.

That's a fantastic stadium. You can easily add on a second deck if the time comes for it.
I imagine the tunnel in the one endzone is where the team comes out?

Yeah...Hopefully.
I really hope the program's support continues to grow and they have to expand on the seating in the offseasons.
