Fayetteville stadium north end closure.

[PigPusher]

Anyone have any pics of the north end closure progress? Aerial would be really great.

Wishing our average (again) team much success tomorrow. Some of it is going to be like watching a horror movie when we were kids. You know arm across the eye as don't want to see. Well!!!!!

Just drove by 45min ago. Still tons of work to be done. All the support beams still exposed. I think it's going to look really nice when done.

Actually, it won't be closed.  They went full retard and left a giant damn hole in it that isn't truly functional and, aesthetically, is as attractive as rancid horseshit.  Have I mentioned that I hate that stupid hole?

Isn't that yet another Jeff Long fiasco, like removing Slobberin Hog?

Not as bad as this one...

I like the hole. Can watch the game from our tailgate spot. 😊

Someone may have already stated this but the Arkansas website released a new drone fly through video yesterday

Now to make all seats individual chairs like Gillette Stadium.

In it's current angle, width, and pitch, you'd have to make them for some really short people......

Yeah, I recognize we'd have to lose quite a few seats, but with the declining numbers of attendees nationwide I'm not so sure the smaller-but-nicer concept isn't the way to go.

I hate that hole! WTH wants to go to a game and stand 3.5 hrs? IDIOTIC IDEA and it looks awkward like they ran out of $$$

There's room to take out seats as far as width, but you'd have to stand in your seat to let anyone move down the aisle. As compared to the outdoor club seats, you're about 4-5" short in room between the rows.

Well that IS an engineering conundrum for sure.

Is Fayetteville High expanding their stadium?

Dude.  This is a safe space.  You can tell us how you really feel.

that mixed with erector set west side is ugly combo. That ariel shot shows the weird shape of the south side, too. Seems to me the south side should have extended farther south and been "thicker" with much more square footage, and the west side is obvious, too. Razorback road should route thru the broyles-matthews lots around the stadium and the west side should be re-built with a much bigger area for concourses with a nice courtyard leading to a grand entrance area on the stadium's most viewed side; that would be awesome. South End-zone should have been a bit taller and not include that gaping hole. It's nice but could be one of the best in the nation.

at least we could address that with a whole west side re-build

About the only that ever gets done is with Mike Irwin's tunnel, Razorback Rd is state hwy 45, you know the state isn't going to pay for the road relocation.

You know, a tunnel is actually a great idea.  I hadn't seen him suggest that.

Keeping the hole was a brilliant decision.  You people are ignort.

He has. He suggested lowering Razorback Road 15 feet on the west side of the stadium and building a tunnel.

The south side couldn't go out any further without demolishing Barnhill. I'm sure it will come down someday but 2000 wasn't that time.

In about '70-71 I sat on that hill and said, I hope you can look out across those hills forever. I think it was the first year of razorbuds. It needed to be filled in, I was so wrong.

People want to dump WMS because it is ugly despite its rich tradition.  I know people traditionally view from there but it is ugly as Hell.  Fill the damn hole!

Is it hard finding something to bitch about in every thread?

[Locutus_of_Boar]

They are making progress.  For next week's game they will modify the sign on the construction area fence to read:

"Coming 2018:  New Management!"

[jgphillips3]

These days?  No...not really.  It's a lot harder to find anything to compliment.  I hate the damn hole, I'll always hate the damn hole.  In a thread about closing in the end that we are not in fact closing, that's pretty much on point.

I was positive about Cole in my thread about him if that gives you the warm fuzzies. 😉

It is designed so it can be closed in later, if they need the space.

It's going to be closed in the lower level down to the field.

You could give some people a new Jaguar & they'd gripe about the color of the floor mats.

Not my fault they pick such fugly colors for the floor mats in the new jags.

All three have worked along time and I believe it will this time also.

Thanks guys for the response to my request on the "North End Zone" sic (Fayetteville Campus--heh)

I want to make one comment related to the open area. As an architectural building designer that opening sure looks like it has a stated purpose. It would be not unlike an open fan plaza for casual seating supported with booth fed food and drink purchases. The area looks to be totally (or nearly so) cut off from the main concession areas. Don't think there is concession underneath being that it is built on a slope. They didn't excavate did they" As such the need for such a function would be solved there. We will find out the truth of the matter for sure.

Yep, less than two years away.

I thought it might a cool place to have a beer garden and a couple of food trucks but I'm not sure how that would look on TV.

Another cool idea would be to put Frank's statue there.  We could also build a statue of DMAC.  I'm not sure if there is an unwritten law that a player has to have a heisman to get a statue but if any of our players deserve a statue it's DMAC.  We can also put a giant version of the Burlsworth trophy as a statue/monument to Brandon.



They might put TUSK up there during games as well.

Will be interesting to see what they do moving forward.

[PigPusher]

No, no, no. Lanny plaza with the obligatory Lanny holding the Hogville flag high and proud. Yes sir Lanny plaza. WoooooPig!!!!!

[Cinco de Hogo]

Hole! Who's talking about d____holes!  Holes are for digging out of!

[PigPusher]

Now I was born in Arkansas so don't think the following thought is elitist. That gap sure looks like the old Arkansas laughable image of a missing tooth.  Only an out-of-stater would do a thing like that without even knowing it. Long you had better shorten up there boy.
