Tom Gelehrter and Bob Martin are braving the cold and winds today atop UC’s ever growing new press box to provide an update on the Nippert Stadium renovations.
Stray Observations
- Being outside working in a -5 degree windchill probably calls for workman’s comp.
- The good news is most construction is within the actual structure, such as permanent walls and electronics, which should help the workers stay somewhat out of the cold.
- The 500-level, with the president and athletic director’s, is getting pre-cast concrete over the next few weeks, finalizing the structures that will hold actual seats for fans.
- Light poles and the concessions are going into the East concourse.
- What to expect between now and their next update? Glass moving into the area to be placed on the exterior of the press box along with individual room framing.
