    The O.K. "Buddy" Davis Pressbox (former Demolition Thread)

    I am really excited about the new Press Box! Any word on when the demolition starts on the existing one? Any ideas if they will provide photos or a live feed?

    They need to film the demolition process and provide it to ESPN for the Conference Championship game so it can be discussed why we are not at our home field.

    Demo was said to be starting yesterday. Seems like we'd have seen something if it did.

    Asbestos removal first which I'm told will take two weeks

    Figure they were encapsulating everything this week

    I would think they are removing it before the wrecking ball is used to tear it down as it seems that any level of encapsulating would be breached when a 500 lbs. ball hits it.

    Won't be a ball, it will be mega scissors doing the task. It will be encapsulated and removed prior to the actual tear down.

    Basically baggied and disposed of at the nearest certified landfill who handles such debris

    I would imagine it will be a few days to get all the furniture, electronics (video board equipment, audio, ect..) and things like that out before they start the demo.

    Probably won't be that exciting, they won't blow it up. I imagine they'll have some sort of machine with a high reach arm picking away at it. Going to be interesting how they work around the grandstand.

    With Facebook live, I imagine someone will broadcast it.

    They'll have to be pretty careful with it, not just go after it with a wrecking ball like they did to Nielson and Caruthers dorms. That wasn't exciting either, but it sure was satisfying seeing those two monstrosities coming dowm

    Carruthers and Nielsen were history? I lived there. It didn't seem historical at the time.
