It looks like they were taking away a tree that was put there last year. What is up with that?

 

[blym]

those trees over by LBJ were some of the 16 large live oaks that were saved from the old NEZ parking areas and they have been waiting for the conference center project to be finished enough for relocation

I trust the architects to have modeled the sight lines. But, man, doesn't the northwest corner of the NEZ suites look like it's going to have an obstructed view of the south end zone?

Awesome pics and thanks for the effort.

I know this was said a million times last year....

But I don't know, are we sure it's going to all be ready by September?

 

[BevoDan]

To date this is the best set of historical updates of our beloved arena that I have seen....

 

[EPThorn]

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

But is the picture of Mack and VY holding the NC trophy on the end of that trailor photoshopped? If so then nice touch

Outstanding pics! Thank you.

The root ball on that tree seems way to shallow to my untrained eye. i thought they went much deeper than that, or maybe they an slice the downward roots with no negative results?

Thanks for the pics.

Live Oak root systems are not as deep as other types of trees. Notice how much wider root system salvaged is, than the traditional ball like seen with other types of trees.

What exactly are they doing across the street in front of the LBJ fountain?

Thanks for the pics!

I know that all the renderings have a gap between the NEZ upper deck and the west upper deck, so I don't think there will be an issue with obstructed views up there. See below.

Now the boxes below the gap may be a different story. There's a chance that the angle will still be low enough to go under the west side's overhang though.

Could they maybe put some sort of club in that section instead of boxes?
