That space is huge.
love the two kids taking a stroll through the weight room on the way to class.
Most of the rendering work is embarrassing.
It sorta looks that way, but it's hard to tell for sure. I hope they do it like that. That would be sick.
That's been the narrative all along, and even through update from Darth and Co. Very cool
Yep, glass garage doors that roll up like you've probably seen at some bars.
Seriously, the size of this thing is incredible.

should have Ralphie running through there
The stone work on the exterior has really picked up pace recently. The stadium side of the facade is nearing completion. Also they have begun erecting steel for the IPF. Appears they are going to putting up a large mobile crane to take down the tower, in the near future. It will probably stay on site to lift the steel for the IPF. Looking better every day

Really is incredible, the amount of work they have done in a year
They have a lot of concrete work to do for the parking surfaces before we see anything go vertical. As they progress towards the north, I bet we will be able to see more steel columns be placed, but I wouldn't anticipate any roof construction to be done until the parking structure is completed.
That being said, I wouldn't be surprised to see it take another month or so until it starts to look like an IPF
I am assuming it will be the entire floor. My best guess to the methodology is that it is necessary to build that way to move heavy equipment around.
Haven't done this in a while, so here is a progress update from what I can see
Gray: Can see the bridge tie in to Dal Ward. Stone hasn't been done around the bridge but has been done on the rest of the lower wall
Orange: Framing, and stone work being done on "chimneys"
Yellow: stone work outlining bridge connection. Looks like those worrying about the bridge connecting to the east side box can relax
Green: Continuing stone work
Overall: Stone is moving rather quickly. The rest of the field facing facade looks to be done with the exception of the areas mentioned already
Red: Stone work beginning on eastern facade.
Blue: Steel for the IPF going in. Not a lot at this point, but good to see some results on this part of the project
Big mobile crane in the pit. Not sure why, but it may be used to pull down the tower crane soon. It will likely be the crane that is used to fly the steel in place for the IPF
Two new elevator/stair shafts on the west side of the pit. Again not much to see, but it is good that there is progress
Can't tell much else on this side because of the trees.

Just watched the timelapse of the project from both angles. Wow - amazing to look back at what we started with and what it looks like now. Can't wait to see the finished product and be able to walk through it and experience it on Saturdays!
Here's a snapshot from 11 months ago and today.

I have a few ideas in my head, so right now I've been just using those when I feel appropriate. Forums like this one and places like twitter help me to get a gauge of what I think the fans want to read about.
That being said, I'm always open to suggestions and requests, in the end it's all about you guys.

Slackers if you ask me:
WHAT AN ERECTION!
Pretty impressive, even accounting for the 4 1/2 month prefab.
