I'm jealous I wish AU would at least brick the whole outer facade of Jordan Hare.
I'm actually surprised that JHS still has the erector set endzones. Those are the least impressive parts of the exterior and also seem like the easiest to improve.

I know I don't get it. It would improve the look ten fold.

LSU's new addition will be nice.
I've always wondered why the one endzone in Tiger Stadium appears to have two layers...

That's a great question...

When they expanded the SEZ in 1953, building a mirror image of the NEZ couldn't be done without removing South Stadium Drive, so they built two decks to work with the space they had.

Part of the reason is the south end zone was built with a shallower curve than the north. The south end zone is squared-off compared to the north:
As a result, fans get to sit closer to the field in the south end zone than is the case in the north. The south end zone was also designed to allow air circulation. Remember, before the south end zone was added, Tiger Stadium was a horseshoe. That's the reason for that gap.

This, too.

I just got back from taking some pictures. It looks absolutely fantastic. From what I've seen so far this offseason, I believe the construction should easily be done for this up coming season. If I had to guess, I'd say that the facade of the northeast tower will be done in about a week. They have the siding of that tower completely up on 2 sides, 2 panels short of being finished on the 3rd, and have already started it on the side that will be against Kyle. I think the southeast tower will have all the siding up within a month, considering it appears they're becoming close to finishing the structure. I can't really tell what all else needs to be done on the towers, but it doesn't look like a whole bunch left. No telling how long it will be before the south endzone will be finished, but based on what I've seen with the east side first deck, I don't think it should be a problem. The only thing I'm completely unsure about is the exterior of the east side. There hasn't been too much visually happening besides the beams in the center, but they have been constantly working on it, so I have faith.

These guys are smoothing concrete that had just been poured into the mold in the south west endzone
these two are pulling up what is left of a mold on cured concrete

Interesting to see what I'm guessing is the oldest part of Kyle Field being exposed.

Was the architect in charge of building some of A&M's buildings from the USSR?
I don't know but some of the structures just come off very "russian"
Posted on 3/19/14 at 6:29 pm to Jefferson Davis

Most of A&M's campus looks as if it were designed by Soviet sympathizers.
