Thanks!

Quick comparison as to what the 'finished' product will look like.

NOW:

'FINISHED'

I know, it's amazing how the flag pole disappears and then reappears like that!

 

[Texas Bullhorn]

Nice! Thanks.

Very nice. Does anybody know if we are on schedule to finish this by august?

 

[TheGallopinGoose]

Thanks for the pics.

 

[Horns83]

Great pics. Thanks for posting.

 

[utalum1995]

Regarding whether the stadium will be done by August or not, I live in Austin and had heard from that the 'football part' will be done. Meaning that the NEZ stadium seating, suites and NEZ club will be done. But, it is likely that some of the exterior work, student areas, etc., won't be done until later in the fall. From the recent progress it looks like the upper deck will be filled in by the end of April or 1st week of May weather permitting ... Thx for the pics!

 

[DigglerontheHoof]

Chet, my understanding is the stadium interior and facade will be complete but much of the interior will still need to be finished out.

I'm sure there are those who know more than I do, though.

It's big and beautiful, too bad it could set the Guiness Record for the largest playing of the "quiet game".

 

[WorsterMan]

Damn, I cannot wait to hear Craig Way and Keith Moreland say vs. Arky that this is the loudest they have ever heard DKR. Have I mentioned today that Arkansas and its fans suck?

 

[drborange]

Thanks for the unexpected surprise!

It looks like the last 3 risers are poured and the glass is about half done on the suites and club. Coming along nicely.

 

[NativeTXchic]

Looking very good!!!

Thanks for sharing!!

 

[wherzwaldo]

The weather they had to work in at this time last year was terrible. This year the weather has been awesome so far. I have no doubt they will finish on time.

 

[Simkins]

They took down the blue crane today

 

[hornpharmd]

Looks like they have repainted some of the existing stands to match the new NEZ area. Very nice.

 

[b UT ful]

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

Niiiiiiiice. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Thank you 4th and 5!

******** like that makes me wonder if some people on here have a clue. I had the honor of being in that "quiet stadium" and on the sideline for games against Houston, Notre Dame, Nebraska's first Big 12 visit and most recently Vince's two games during our 2005 season. On the field it gets loud. I just don't get such comments.

 

[StoOgE]

so, do we know if the upper deck concourse connects to the west side yet?

 

[Texas Bullhorn]

It does connect. The connection has been shown several times on here. Go back and check the 4/6/08 DKR update on this board and you can see it.

The other day someone posted some pictures on Orangebloods that actually had a shot taken through the opening from the west side ramps to the NEZ upper deck concourse. If you have access over there you may want to check it out.

[Hookemhorns927]

bullhorn - do you have a link to that orangebloods picture? i've never seen anyone post DKR construction pictures on that site.

 

[Texas Bullhorn]

Hookemhorns927,

I can't figure out how to post the picture, but you can go to Orangebloods, go to the Inside the 40 Acres forum, and search on the words DKR Update.

It was posted on 4/10/08 at 9:30 PM by avichayil. The picture I am referring to is the sixth one down.

Good luck!

Bullhorn
