I like the progress, it's looking really nice. Can't wait to see the finished product!

And I think it looks great. People will get over the boxes. They won't be as noticeable in a filled stadium with people all standing up there on the railing.


agree. people really are making a mountain out of a mole hill with those. i said this in last weeks thread, but i don't remember anyone ever bitching about the original upper deck, and it was horrendous. what we have done over the past 15 years is amazing

They could definitely turn a negative into a positive with something like that on those boxes. Think about that horrendous wall in the swamp... They paint a saying on it and it becomes an iconic wall.

I think "Where dreams come to die" is perfect.

I love that quote.

Yeah, the black on the concrete strip is ribbon board. Would be cool if it goes all the way around that level.

Looks like they're installing the ribbon board. In this rendering there looks to be a ribbon board between the two level of suites

Looking at that rendering it looks like the SEZ will have 3 ribbon board.

That pic answers somebody's earlier question about where the "Welcome To Death Valley" sign will go with National Championships and SEC Championships on the sides.

I'm assuming the red is all ribbon board? Just based on where its going in the construction picture it looks like those 3 levels will get it?

that's a really old rendering so i wouldnt 100% rely on it. things could have changed since then.

I hope they install a ribbon board over the yellow railing between the two existing levels. It'll really tie the whole expansion together nicely imo.

I like the ribbon board but the current ones are actually a source of frustration during games.

Seeing as you can't get any cell service in the stadium and the only place you can catch the other scores is when they scroll through on the ribbon boards. If theres a game you're interested in you have to keep your eye on it or else remain clueless for a while.

According to the "rendering", the left screen is just sort of floating with a huge gap beneath it. I know this is not how it's shaping up though.
