We had to wait an extra week for the latest edition of Nippert Stadium Hardhat Wednesday, but it did not disappoint. Only three months until opening night.
Several notes:
- The walkways and bridges to Sheakley Lawn on the East Concourse are progressing nicely. In my opinion, they look a little small, but I suppose that they won’t have as much traffic as a traditional concourse, since there will be no lines for concessions or restrooms actually forming on them.
- New restrooms and concessions on both the upper and lower East Concourse are making progress.
- Let there be seats! The stadium underwent a stunning change, as seats are now in on the 300/Scholarship Club Level of Nippert’s West Side Pavilion.
- Cabinetry, drywall, and electrical work continues in the suites and press areas on the West Side Pavilion.
- LED Ribbon Boards were alluded to in some of the conceptual drawings of the stadium, but this is the first time that I recall hearing actual confirmation that they will be installed – and they will be on both sides of the stadium.
- My season tickets are finalized. Are yours? Call 877-CATS-TIX or click here for more info.
