Here's the update everyone has been wanting:

Thanks!

Very nice!!!

So there are two rows in front of the walkway of the upper deck? Funny. At least there aren't as many stairs/entrances like the chairbacks have. Looks much cleaner.

 

[Simkins]

Looks like I was too slow. Great pictures - Thanks.

 

[drborange]

You are the Champ!

They are moving right along on the upper deck and knocking out the interior too! Rain should not be much of a problem this year. Makes me yearn for Kickoff!!!

Thanks!!!!

 

[Micalynn]

Awesome!!! Thank You.

 

[SlingeroGuitaro]

christo!

 

[DigglerontheHoof]

That, my friends, is an update.

 

[GhostOfTomJoad]

thats going to be a monster

Amazing....I was at the Spring Jamboree and I can't believe how much they've done in a short period of time. But, it seemed to me that the upper deck is not as high as the Est side. Isn't it suppose to 'mirror' the east stands?

 

[Texas___Fight]

You sir...F'n Rock!!!!

 

[Puerto Aransas]

I remember one of the drawings of the finished product had a scoreboard in the NEZ, did my memory fail me again or is there room for a board (besides the ribbon boards)?

 

[SWHorn]

 

[Texas___Fight]

I think the scoreboard is going to be there as well.

 

[Texas Bullhorn]

That's what I'm talking about.

Well done. Thanks!

Great job, Nat. You are the original!

For those that don't have the opportunity to see it in person, you will be blown away at how imposing it is. It's HUGE.

I know the renderings have a big scoreboard in the middle of the NEZ, but I expect it to be riboon boards continuing around from the east side.

A normal shaped scoreboard would eliminate at least one suite right in the middle of the NEZ. There's no way Deloss would turn away that money. Plus, I think the ribbon boards are a much more flexible to display different information, graphics, stats, scores, etc.

 

[NatChampUT]

I'm pretty sure that there isn't going to be a north end scoreboard. Those drawings were done before Godzillatron was built and with that screen being so big, I think they scraped the idea of another scoreboard in the North endzone. I do expects some ribbon boards though.

 

[NOLAHornfan]

Made my day!!

 

[Goothrey]

When the entire thing is enclosed, where will the scoreboard(s) go?

 

[longhornfan2818]

NICE!!!!!!!

 

[BDog]

Wow...

 

[hot_c_win_horns]

If the ribbon board rumor is true, I hope they take all the advertisements off adzillatron and put them on the ribbon board. as we all know adzillatron is a waste with all of those advertisements.

Amazing - that thing is going to be so sweet when it is done. Interesting to see the glass going up on the outside of the NEZ .

 

[SMDhorn]

This picture gave me chills... Marching down Trinity for pregame was probably one of the coolest experiences I had in LHB. I can't imagine what it will be like for LHB this fall, as they march into the stadium, the drums revving up, people outside going crazy in this new behemoth of a north end zone...

NatChampUT, thanks for picking up the slack here with the updates. Having a job (and a paycheck) is very nice, but I can't get updates like I used to. Now I'm one of the many dependent on these updates like okies are dependent on meth...

I may stop by this weekend, if the weather ever clears up, and get some shots for my personal library of DKR pics. I'll post them if I do.

 

[shotgun427]

I love that pic SMD, you get a bit of the sense of how massive that thing is.

 

[TheGallopinGoose]

Thanks for the update.
