Plus the wall will block the wind a little.
Ya, because of the style of seats and the sight lines they wanted from the NE section, it doesn't exactly line up right with the original bowl.

Yeah. Plus they are close enough observe how the CU will elite enjoy the game experience while being a few feet below and separated by a privacy wall. Hey big spenders, no sanctimonious sneering allowed!

When they pull this off, Mortenson & Populous and everyone involved in the stadium renovation deserve a hand tomorrow. The amount of work they needed to do in a short time is impressive. They are looking to finish down to the last minute. The last peak at the construction cam this afternoon shows the NE section looking a lot like a functional stadium section.
I hope the people running the scoreboard content are able to run a time-lapse of these last two months of construction. Put it on a loop so that everyone in attendance can appreciate what kind of rabbit was pulled out of the hat. They deserve a standing ovation if those seats pass safety inspection and are filled in time for kickoff.

I was going to suggest each worker be rewarded with a free ticket to the game. But realized this would not be much of a reward. They'd probably prefer cash.
Hey, about 11:15, they took out that temporary duct work thing. Whatever the hell that was.
Another late-ish evening and they will be done.
95% of the bleachers are in now.
They are clearing all the trash off the concourse level right now. Railing are mostly in. A few more stairs to go on all 4 aisles. Chairs just have to be assembled and set in place so those will be fast.
Gonna make it. Somehow.
Just stopped by. The pictures don't do the amount of work justice. These guys are flying. I stopped by before my class at 10 and just went by and I see progress in just five hours and it is significant! Props to these guys.
I accidentally hit page one and saw the date we started and the surroundings that are now brand new.... Wow! We undoubtedly chose the correct company to knock this out.
We need that kind of effort Sat night. Wonder if any of those guys can play D line? They may have some eligibility left?
Perfect working weather, man! Nice and cool. I'd bet those guys love it. They look about done to me. I think they'll be stripping the last of the forms pretty soon and finishing up the railing stuff. I still wonder how they are going to block the back side off. A temporary rail? It looks like the wall at the bottom/north of 121 is a temporary wall which they just painted. I think it's only wood framed with plywood.
I think they are drink and food rails. Rails with a table or something, that they can put their stuff on. They get bar stool type chairs posted somewhere back in this thread.

I hear they only will kick toward the south. Okay, kidding aside, remember these goal posts are taken down every game? I think they are always done on game day.

Don't worry. They have shoring underneath. I'd bet the newest of the concrete has topped 4,000 psi and the oldest is in the 6ksi to 8ksi range. Stronger than ****, man. And if it fails, they won't fall very far.
Looks pretty sharp, doesn't it? I think the NE stands will have a damned good view and will sell out easily. Not so sure about the north section though.

Uhhh. Yeah. Job well done boys.
:rofl2: I was looking at the very top where the wall went in and saw people and was, like, "I think that's a woman walking along there with no hard hat. Must be a school official or something." In the same shot, I saw the goal posts being prepared to go up. So, then a while later, I refreshed to check out the progress, and the same chick was in the same place and I thought, "Damn, they haven't advanced the cam any." But I panned over and saw the goal post in place. That wall in the very back has pictures of people on it! I failed to notice the guy with the dog. Haha.
