A few visual updates that most will appreciate:

- The concrete on the exterior, while not as dark as the North EZ exterior coating, appears to be a bit darker even after only a few weeks of curing.

- They are installing windows over those bricked in fire stairwells so it'll look uniform.

- the glass in the arches being recessed has a nice touch.

That concrete might get too hot for people to sit on.

They have installed some of the frame for the SW scoreboard.

I believe it was installed yesterday evening.

Kinda looks like you walk through a door and piss off the side of the stadium.


Sure hope the wind is not blowing the wrong direction.

I wonder if they're going to do the colored LED lights like on the NEZ.

Would they put them on the other side of the glass in the arches?

Vise, Product of NOLA, any info on this?

Is it really going to be white on the south, brown on the west, and grey on the north and east?

Y'all all bitch too much about the stadium's hue and crap. I thought this was a damn football stadium and not a fashion show.

The recessed arches and the underside of the cantilevered section may make you happy.

It's not white. It's a beige similar in color to the coast and environment bldg.

I haven't heard anything about the lighting. That doesn't mean it won't be. Just that's usually one of the final things to go in.
