INSIDER REPORT: Exclusive Look At Davis Wade Expansions

Last night I managed to sneak into the classic Davis Wade stadium through an open gate to provide both State fans and other SEC fans with a quick update on the expansion progress of the soon-to-be one of the biggest SEC football stadiums.

For those unfamiliar with the expansion, here's some unofficial concept art of the finished product.




Strict Mississippi State security has been trying to keep the entire project under wrap so I had to utilize the cloak of nighttime to take these exclusive pictures. The red circles/squares indicate the focal points of the construction progress.



Above shows what appears to be a new fence built. This may be a temporary fence built to keep people out of the construction zone, I'm not sure.



The new halftime locker room and VIP suites is pictured above.



Another picture of the new halftime locker room and VIP clubhouse. This showcases the entrance tunnel for the football team.



It may be unclear in the above picture, this picture was taken inside of the stadium and shows that they have built a large jumbo-tron screen overlooking the endzone.

It seems like the construction is really picking up pace. I'm excited to see the completed product by the beginning of the football season.

Update (7/9/2014)

Yesterday I managed to almost sneak into the football stadium to take some up-close and personal photographs of the construction progress. I have also downloaded a "Panarama" app for my phone which allows me to take pictures that would appear as if your entire head was covered in eyeballs. This was harder than it appeared.

These pictures are copyrighted by me, hence the watermark.

The gate was closed so I couldn't actually get in the stadium.



This was my first attempt at the panarama picture. I accidentally dropped my phone on the ground(which you can see) but the rest of the photo turned out fine.



Another panarama attempt. This one is much better.





I gave up the panarama and used this mirror feature on my phone, I felt like it made the photos more realistic and also easier to shoot than the panarama.



Not construction related, but it could be used as a good wallpaper for fellow bulldog fans.

I don't know why these following pictures are sideways, but I couldn't fix them. They are still good pictures of the construction.





This picture is blurry because I was trying to run across the street before the guys in the golfcart saw me. I think it looks cool though.
