Ok, that's pretty cool! Looking forward to them updating that as construction goes along. Thanks for posting!

Mark Townsend, Tech grad, IS good. He started his aerial video/photography business with a remote helicopter and now does drones. Very talented. Very creative.

Not a big change, I noticed that they made an aesthetic change to the brick facade on the left stair column. They reverse the brick/concrete look.

I wonder why the switched the brick as well?

I hope that was on purpose.

Probably because they wanted to give you something to question.

The Press Box does go all the way to the 10 yard line.

The photo deck on the lowest level is almost the exact size of the club level at Tulsa's Chapman Stadium. If demand warrants, I could easily see a portion of it someday being converted into a club with the first three or four rows below it in the existing stadium being converted to a private area with chairbacks. Tulsa was very successful with that approach, converting roughly 300 seats.

Dwayne, Dawgpix, and I discussed this possibility when the project was first announced, but I can now see how it really is built into the design. Our fanbase would have a choice between covered seating in the DAC or outdoor seating as part of a press box club. Again, if demand ever warrants that type of expansion.

We took down the two center light poles, I wonder if we are still looking at mounting lights on the top lip of the pressbox (as per the rendering) or placing them on poles again.
