The clouds in the first image make a great backdrop for that photo.

Also she's coming together

I like that the overhangs make the end zone appear taller too

I thought the overhangs were going to look weird as hell but it's really not that bad. Kind of cool, actually. The endzone doesn't look super out of place even though it isn't flush with the sidelines.

Wait until they put in the navy wall padding and brick. Filled with people as well. It will look great.

Those are going to hold speakers aren't they? For the DJ.

So these are speakers, not new lights. Are we officially not getting LED lighting?

Nice Update Article on CBSports site.

Sez, among other things, you are getting new lights and Kirby Smart thinks UM & State have better facilities than any team in the East...

"Everything is on time and everything is under budget. That's a good thing. It will be ready by Sept. 10," Ole Miss athletic director Ross Bjork confirmed Tuesday night at a Rebel Road Trip event in Jackson, Miss.


quote:

The only project that won't be completed by Ole Miss' first home game will be the Lloyd Bell Tower to be located in the north end zone plaza with a scheduled completion date of April, 2017.


quote:

"We finished up the practice fields last week for football. Our track facility, it will be done in the middle of August. The big thing is the north end zone project along with, new lighting, new natural tuf field that the guys will play on. So a lot of improvements. A lot of little things that maybe people won't necessarily recognize, but when they turn on, I think they'll notice them."





quote:

Georgia head football coach Kirby Smart recently commented that Ole Miss and Mississippi State have better facilities that any team in the SEC East.

Kirby just doesn't understand that we play in a glorified HS stadium

For anyone interested, olemisspix just added an updated periscope video of the VH renovation. South Endzone Field Club and North Endzone included with a view from the top of the NEZ in the next video. LINK

It looks very close to being completed. They are almost finished putting the bleachers in and are about to start on the SEZ jumbotrons.

Anyone have any more new videos or pics?

State will end up taking out seats to put more scoreboards in just because we have 3 now

It looks a lot bigger with the NEZ closed in now. Drove down behind the ticket office to take a look a couple weeks ago. It is more impressive from the outside.

You can only believe it will continue to get better with more improvements over the next 10-15 years.

1) Extended Press box and luxury boxes on the west side to match the South end zone.
2) Extended luxury boxes on the east side to match.
3) Final renovation will be the NEZ outside facade to match the SEZ.

Hopefully I'm there to see the completion and a few NC trophies to put in the NEZ entrance.
