Is there like one last push to wipe everything down and get it all nice and clean when they're done?
It must be dusty in a lot of areas, right?
IN DUSTY WE TRUSTY! :thumb:

I'm okay with fouling everyone out if we rebound and pass like that.
Is there a replay of that 155 to 155 game? That would be fun to watch. Beats the quadruple over time games I saw against Mich yrs ago in AH and the one against Misery in STL.
Can't tell if serious...

Given a tour of the SFC on Saturday by Warren Hood and some guy named Josh, along with a small UIF group.
Scoreboard is really big. ;-) The 4 corner panels were on the floor--not yet installed. Basically blue metal panels with a large Block-I near the top.
Mostly toured the lounge areas--Legacy Club, Club 53 (oh yeah, Mr 53 was on the tour too) and the Krush. Framing up, but no pictures yet, in the hallway & into the Krush area which will have pictures documenting the history of Krush.
Hall of Fame room is very cool.
HVAC for the SFC cost approx $35M out of the $169 total.
Actually a little under budget and why they had a little extra to pay for the E & W scoreboard replacements.
End of the tour was the bball locker rooms and a showing of the Memorial Stadium renovation video on the HUMONGOUS projection screen in the common area. Impressive. And a nice pep talk from that Josh guy.
Had a chat with Adam Marantz a month or so ago. Complete waste of time.
New photos up. Looking good. Hoping for some more wall graphics, etc in the various rooms (ready room, locker room, lounges) but it really has come a long way.

caption nits:
1.) 5th picture--paneling is outside the common area between locker rooms. You can see the orange & blue painted round wall of one of the locker rooms beyond that.
2.) 12th pic--those are 5 separate interactive screens for fans to look up a variety of historical things.
3.) Should be fairly obvious--the 1st picture is of the inside of the common area between locker rooms.
FYI:
1.) 2nd pic--You can sorta see the scoreboard corner pieces--lying flat on cart (mostly under pink bubble wrap) in the lower left of pic. One seems to be lying on the floor by the lower right corner of the scoreboard.
2.) 6th pic--will have player name-plates above each locker, eventually, in that empty space between the ceiling & the lockers.
3.) 9th pic--can see framing for Krush pix in upper left.
