They have installed the club seats, all except for the Westside chair-back section.
Curious to see the back of Crisler ... looks like they excavated and exposed a lower portion that might connect to the new center (see the door cut-outs)? I am not really sure about any of that though. Here is a link I found on more photos on this topic:

I also was surprised to see the parking lot work behind the East side ... more than I expected ... anyone know the story behind that?
Lastly, isn't it fantastic ... the whole thing ... I can't wait for this season to start!
Looks they replaced some of the bleachers inside the stadium too. The stadium is going to be very beautiful when it opens up against UConn.
Very Very classy the brickwork is flawless and the structure looks pretty imposing i love it
Are there any pics of what the basketball facility is going to look like? Looks like they started to clear some ground already.
If you search the mgoblue.com gallery link from the OP, you can find some pictures of what the facility will look like inside and out.
Kind of awesome - makes it look like The Colosseum in there.
The Big House might be ready for some chariot races or something!
Looks awesome. I think it makes Crisler look like that much more of a shithole. Hopefully, Crisler will get hooked up soon.
nice post dude
is it September 4th yet?
Those are great pics. Thanks for posting them.
Looking at the stadium, it seems clear that the crappy, K-Mart-esque "M" with lines through it (on the backs of the scoreboards) needs to go. It looks like a remnant of the halo era. I'm hoping that they just don't want to waste the paint because large new video screens are already in the works.
Overall, the place looks amazing. I didn't expect the expansion to look like it's been there for 100 years...but it does. Great job...and Go Blue!
New screens for 2010? Or next year?
I have no real insight on a date for new screens...that was just my expression of hope. Brandon has stated, publicly, a desire for new video screens so I do expect a change, but not in 2010.
I just went from six to midnight.
Without the field turf it looks like all were missing is a small mexican man with a red sheet and a bull! The stadium looks great, wtih the new seats going in, along with the turf the place is going to look amazing! All we need is some HUGE scoreboards now.
... pix are now unavailable...
Me and my dad are going to a Michigan game this year. It will be his first since he was 15 and still living in Flint, and my first ever. I am very excited about the new renovations. It will surely be one of the most exciting days of my life that day.
