looking better, at least. Let's see how that funding finishes up.
Sure. Go ahead.
Thanks I will. #1,2,3 in the job description all but complete.

Yes this is old hat. The cubuffs.com website has put up a video with Rick George on the updates.

Seats will be in, in time for this season. The facility was optimistically planned to be done in may '15, so adding a parking garage and pushing back the date a few months seems about right.
The parking garage is such a natural fit that it's worth the small delay to get that put in there. That's premium parking that can be sold for a lot of money for six days a year. It's also great parking for off campus students, staff, faculty, etc for all the rest of the days of the year. It's close enough to the Rec Center that you could actually sell Rec Center memberships to non-CU affiliated people. It's also virtually invisible. A total no-brainer.
but I've heard that parking garages hurt the bee population-:huh:

Just donated to Facilities. So suck it.
I sort of envisioned different end zone seats. Why did they dig out the deeper hole closer to the field?

For a thing us structural engineers like to call a foundation.

yes, doofus. but why deeper foundation than next to Dal ward?

Possibly because there will be backfill (dirt) at higher levels towards the back. The footers for the foundation must be below the frostline - probably 36"-42", or to remove unstable soil (less likely). Similar to what's done with a walkout basement footer. Without seeing detailed drawings, I can only guess.
So... beats me?

Ogre nailed it. Frost depth of 36-42" and half the weight is going down to these areas.
Additionally the back of the stands probably have a different bearing condition. Either with isolated footings or piers since I assume that area will still be a breezeway. Not digging next to Dal Ward also means you aren't potentially impacting that structure if it is not necessary.

Secret tunnel to the IPF & parking garage and special underground bike rack vault.
FIF compromise to gain support of general Boulder community.

Bike riding bees FTW!!!
I wouldn't. Broncos always have and always will reign supreme in this region.
Student section should improve though
Thanks. ymssr

Hate to say this but you're overestimating the fanbase.
We averaged 50K in 2011 and basketball attendance has risen drastically. Show progress on the field to where the home games are fun to go to and Folsom will be full.
