Looks like they added "COMING 2018" to the Barrier.

That's right, you don't want to be the man to replace the man.  You want to be the man to replace Rory Segrest.

I think it's the same distance as the seats in the south endzone.

Maybe from the tops of the scoreboards... It would be cool if they shot them off from both end zones this year. Hope we see lots of fireworks discharged on Saturday.

Yeah I think all the University sees with those construction beams is ad $$$$$$$. I'm surprised at how few they have up there.

Appears it is working just fine. I'm sure they were tweaking something with the contrast or making minor adjustments.

There is 1 square of it still not working. Right in the C of TCU. Been that way all day.

So it looks like it malfunctioned between 12:38 and 12:48 today. It went to being fuzzy and unformatted. They have apparently cut the power to the panel and are probably now fixing it. Doesn't seem to be of any concern.

By placing the signage, it motions one to not pay attention to the asymmetric hulk under construction in the background.😉

Don't look now, but another big load of steel is arriving today.  Expect a lot of progress between now and New Mexico State.

I know no one wants to talk about this anymore since we got embarrassed by TCU, we're saddled with a huge buyout, we ran out of water, NWA has ruined football, and the sky, generally speaking, is falling.  But this 'new stadium' will be there long after Bielema, his successor, and all of us complainers are long gone.  Who's to say that those who come after us will no enjoy it, or that we might not someday field a team that can win in it.  Meanwhile, watching it take shape may be more fun than watching football.

That red is awesome! I wish they could turn out the lights on the opposing team on third down and hit the red! Lol

I am beginning to think this expansion, is for part of it to be named after jeff long.

Not realistic for it to be named after long. He is not from Arkansas, never played at Arkansas, has only been employed at Arkansas a short time and right now is probably not in such good graces with the fan base.

yeah hearing boos both times the kicker came out is probably not a good thing.

I hear there is a change order in for the endzones... they are going with the CFL design. Feel it will benefit the program

How did the fans know?  Aren't we the dumbest people on earth?  To be sure they were booing the decision not the player.  At least not until he missed them.

So which is worse, the fans booing or what BB said?

I have faith and say that the fans were booing the decision.  There was also a time where the stadium booed when we punted the ball.  It was more displeasure in the ineptness of our offense then with a certain player.

Correct, and if you listened to the PC, Bielema said that he was calling missing the FG juvenile, not Hedlund.  As he's stated, he's been Cole's biggest supporter, he kept trotting him out there for the past two years, haha.

Swung by last night to take a better look at it. Alot of inside work has been done since the TCU game.

Yep. Now that the frame is up, there won't be too much more progress that's clearly visible until they start working on getting it "in the dry".

With the towers beginning to take shape on the corners and some of the work that's been done in the past couple of weeks, this thing is starting to look pretty cool.  I'm curious whether any of those who didn't like the design have changed their minds since it's getting easier to envision the finished product and since the animated mock up was released.  Assuming that's pretty accurate, that clarified a lot of features that I was unsure about with all the different, more two dimensional renderings.

Pillars for general admission area/ plaza starting to come up:

They are definitely working hard... it's just going to be hard to see any obvious advancement until they start putting up the facade/ windows, etc.

Coming down I-49 the other day and at about the Weddington exit if you look east you can see the two cranes sticking up over the mountain top.  Just struck me as funny that just over that hill is a whole University that is completely hidden.  Now going north is another story.
