Cool look there Mounty. It's too bad that someone hasnt been taking some pics over time from the same angles every time to show the time lapse in a slideshow or even better in an animation. That is looking good.

Thanks dude. :D I actually have a few photo sets from last year that show the stadium before construction was ramped up. It's been a remarkable change. Gonna be a fine place to watch a game come this fall. :party:

Eventually I'd like to see the field lowered and the track removed and additional seating wrapping around the north side (opposite the hill).

Here are a couple I found on another hard drive. I took the first in May of last year and second in August. What a difference!

Far be it from me to give ASU any credit, but I gotta say that KBS is gonna look awesome. I can't wait until we hook up November 21 because I want to see the finished product first hand. I keep hoping our administration will begin phase 2 of our stadium overhaul. It's been 6 years since the new bleachers were put up, but we are LOOOOOOOOOOONG OVERDUE for a new press box and the chain fences have got to go.

Good work ASU. You've got a place to be proud of.

GO CATAMOUNTS!!!

That's exactly what I wanted to see Mounty. It's tough when you've never been there to see the progression and put it all together with pics you may have seen a yr. or two ago. I like to see the chronological progression like that because it gives a way better feel for what's going on.

Ursus need before/after pics to put it together. :lol:

Might as well start back at the beginning, 1962 :lol:

This is the old pressbox:

Prior to construction with the pressbox torn down and no east side construction (probably the 07 season):

I believe it's the shithole known as the Memorial Dome (or the Mini Dome) at ETSU. The worst sight-lines ever. No matter what seat you were in, either first row or last, you couldn't see the sidelines. From 10 rows up, you could hardly see the hash marks.
