Almost all of the glass panels are installed, and they're finishing the rest of the upper deck. Looks like it should be completed by first home game next season.

Tiger Stadium looking great.

Can't wait to see Kyle Field when it's completed as well.

Tiger Stadium was already imposing with it's huge size, now it looks even better. I've been several times and can tell these pictures do it no justice.

Thanks! I'm excited for next season!

LSU has a chance to move up into the top 5 on this list by adding 8,000+ seats next year in the new SEZ addition...

My buddy on the project actually invited me to that. Or at least said he could get me in. Naturally I had to decline and go to work.

Can't wait to see the pics of the party. Most likely in NOLA sports tomorrow. The Advocate has really fallen off in covering things like this lately, or so it seems.

While the pics are great, it doesn't do this project justice. Kyle's new footprint is going to be giant.

That's what I said the other day in the thread on the a&m board. You don't realize how massive this bitch is until you drive or walk by it

Yes. The entire south endzone should be up this time next month, and pretty much all the visible structural work will be done by the end of June. After that it will be mostly exterior stuff, putting the field in, etc.

This erector set shite makes the work fly by. It literally looks visibly different every single day.

I just thought it's interesting that both of our schools are working on the south end zone.

It's the towers at the four corners, they increase the total area of the stadium by a lot.

It would be cool if someone would take aerial shots of the biggest stadiums and superimpose them over each other to compare footprints.
