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. 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.

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!!!

I like the new boxes and face lift.

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.

First class!

Might as well start back at the beginning, 1962



This is the old pressbox:



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



Old school sky shot with how things used to be:

that looks like Idaho st in the background, with the players holding up the coach.

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.

That's better.
