The gap doesnt look so bad anymore. It makes DKR unique.

Thanks for the Pictures by the way.

Fantastic update. The changes from update to update aren't as obvious at first look, but you can tell (with the exception of that one photo of the space between the old/new sections) that it is becoming more and more of a "finished" look.

Thanks again for the photos.

Did you have a hardhat and walk around the site, or do you have a very good telephoto lens? Either way, great pics.

As said earlier, the progress is not apparent , but on close inspection, they are getting a lot done.
Thanks for the pics!

106+ days til kick off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those crates right below the suites in the center of the NEZ more than likely contain the ribbon boards for that side.

 

[LonghornLawyer]

Are the ribbon boards going to wrap all the way around, or are they going to be limited to the small area on which they have already fixed brackets?

I want a Godzilladome.

Great pics.

We all appreciate the effort and time it must take to get these.

Thanks!

I hate to be in the top row...that's not much of a rail in the back

how long before the legend of the "gap" is so some rich donor with east-side skyboxes could see the tower?

[Mr. Longhorn]

It looks to me like they are starting to add more brackets for the ribbon boards. They moved the scaffolding to the right and in the 5th picture from the bottom, it looks like they are making their way to the right. I'd have to go back and look at previous pictures, but it looks like they have added more brackets in the last week.

Great update, thanks!

I never knew that there was chairback seats on the upper deck east side. I've never been up there, so the views of the ES upper deck surprised me.

So, that leads into my question:

Will there be chair backs in the NEZ upper deck?

I added to NEZ chair backs for the upcoming season. According to the diagrams, NEZ chairbacks are shown on the lower level. I'm hoping to get in that section.

Anybody know the details?

 

[danny1010]

My expectation is that, like the east side upper deck, the first few rows of the NEZ upper deck would be chairbacks too. These are the 2-3 rows that are in front of the upper deck walkway.
