Renovation Pics/Update?
Any ideas on where I could go to get current pictures of the stadium renovation? I haven't seen the Big House since the regular season ended, and I was curious as to how things have progressed.
Also, any idea on how far along things are expected to be when next season starts? Are they going to have the facade completed, and be focusing on the interior spaces?

There seems to be a webcam that will allow you to get an up to date still image on this site. That's pretty sweet.

They seem to be right on schedule. It's actually hard for me to believe that they'll need until 2010 to have them finished, because they've done a ton of work already. I guess they're just being conservative in their planning.

I understand the old Press Box will still be used for the '09 season.

I wonder if they will consider building a "godzillatron" to further enclose the stadium??

It would be pretty sweet to have a huge HD screen.

as long as they don't think it's a cute idea to blast "RAWK" music over the PA. Michigan band or bust!
Unless of course they play this...

Thanks for posting the pictures. I live a few hours away so it's nice to see that things are moving along.

My understanding for the 2010 completion or w/e.. is the suites and everything will be all done exterior wise, but minor changes in the interior. So for all of us itll look done, but inside it wont be. But, the old pressbox will still remain (maybe empty? or maybe still in use bc new pressbox area isnt completed )..
Eitherway the exterior is prob gonna be ocmpleted. Full capacity shudnt be there til 2010 season.
Lol, we shud keep old pressbox with completed suites so we can just blow the full capacicty outta the water. Filling in the old pressbox and new.

I think if you took the old pressbox out it would add more seats but I'm not sure.

Not to mention that the old pressbox actually obstructs the view of the seats immediately to each side of it.
