They are refinishing the concrete on the stadium. It looks great.

Someone posted some pics of the NEZ the other day and it looks awesome with the new windows and the refinished concrete.

It will never be done in time.

Yea, that is the north side though. I'm referring to the West Side and the paneling on the facade, not the concrete

This thread is concerning the West Side facade not the North Side.

My mistake. I don't think there are any plans to redo the west facade. It already looks pretty new and nice. Unless they decided that it wouldn't match the new darker colors of the NEZ.

I think the intention is to have it stand out from the rest of the stadium and give a feeling of a grand entrance. It's gonna look really nice looking down through the Champion's walk from the corner of Nicholson and S. Stadium.

Have all the windows been replaced or just the NEZ? The stadium is going to look incredible in the very near future.

Anyone been by the stadium in the last day or so and noticed any changes to the West facade?

They still haven't replaced the windows on the inside of the stadium. Like in the east and west sides.

I'm going to be on campus today, so I'll post some hi-res pics later today of all the progress in the Preserve Death Valley thread.

Maybe they will put a coat over "the pipe". Looks alot better imo.

Idk how long it's been like this, but I noticed during the bayou country superfest, it wasn't PVC anymore. They wrapped it in some kind of metallic finish. Doesn't make it much less of an eyesore though.

In the picture posted above, it does look like they painted the west facade darker, does it not?

Think its just the shadows of that pic, looking at the facade from Alex box right now and it looks the same

Well, it would look a lot better if they painted the West facade a darker color. The West Side will still be an eyesore if they don't do something to those ugly tiled columns
