The Stadium is basically done, lest some final finish work.

The team used it for part of practice yesterday and to celebrate Coach Ford's 76th birthday.

Some local articles starting to come down.

Great Danes' new home sets the table (with interviews from Delaware's home opener tailgate) - any CS'ers quoted?

This is certainly Albany's best chance for a CAA win this season. Was nice of the CAA to give them URI for the home opener...

Something looks off with that pressbox/upper deck. Looks cheap, or wierd or something. They could have picked a better looking structure. Why not throw some endzone seating in there? It is college fb right? Glad they did get a new stadium tho. EWU def needs a east side renovation. :coffee:

It's not the entire finished product. The press box will get a second level. Endzone seating and a permanent double decker visitors side as well. That will tie it all together better for sure.
