They are pushing a tight timeline...it's June and it's due to be ready for the 1st game?? They (the contractors) are working very hard as you read this post or even better, as I type it. They work 6-7 days a week. It's suppose to be ready for the first game. The University and contractors have made a good calculation as to when the pressbox will be ready. However, good luck, good weather and no unforseen events are the factors that will determine whether or not they hit their target date. I'm sure they considered some of these factors. Let's hope for the best.

First game, second game....We have upgraded!!!! AMEN,AMEN!!!!!!!!!! That should be our primary thought and joy. yes, i agree and upgrading is important. we can't just stand pat and let the pigeons to the east catch up with us. this new pressbox will give our stadium the complete first class look that our old pressbox denied us. the old pressbox almost brought the rest of the stadium down...

You'll be flabergasted as to how fast the outside facade goes up and the trimmings put in once the infrastructure is completed this mont. with this weather it may be ready before practice actually starts.

It will be like a house being built. Once that foundation is there, the rest takes about a month.

Yes Gentlemen, You are correct. Saturday and today huge cranes have been placing the steel supports in place. The project is steadily moving. As I stated earlier, they work 6-7 days.
