You and me both!Thanks. I bought three seats on the top row under the new east side suites. Just wondered if the sun ever got to that row. I think I am going to have it made in the shade.

Little sheet rock here and there, and this thing is good as open!!TCU is saying by October 25 it will be ready. LOL

I will volunteer to go ahead and ask the completely uninformed question. Is it possible they can go 24 seven on this project and still be done in time? Or is that materially unfeasible or financially un-doable?
Justin, I figured the top row was the safest for being in the shade. After a season of seeing just how many of the rows stay in the shade I might try to get a little closer to mid field. I’m on like the 10 yard line now.You picked well, uncle! We’re about 6 rows from the top in 234 JJ, hoping we get some of that shade too
Your statement sadly seems an indictment of modern construction in so many cases these days. "just throw it up and over charge". It at least sounds like TCU is trying to build something that will stand the test of time. Hope so.Labor typically represents a huge portion of the budget. Sometimes as much as 65% ..While most construction contractors build make up hours into the expense, it’s generally not more then 6 weeks...A GC has enough problems working to get subs to buy into a project on the level necessary to keep quality high..I can’t imagine the conversations trying to get them all to double their labor requirements, expenses, and deliveries...

What happens to those people who have purchased seats/suites/loge boxes this season? Are they put in temporary seats in the 400 sections?
And the money they paid? Is that parlayed into next season? Or was that part of the gamble of completion?
I think they are only going to charge the season ticket portion for the games available, but also offer people an opportunity to buy tickets to the stadium club and other areas of the stadium for the first three home games if they so choose.
In other words, if they get the east side open in time for the UT game, TCU Athletics will charge the east siders for home games 4,5,6. Concurrently for the first three home games, I was told they will offer people an option to be in the Stadium Club, which is the club area under the basketball arena, for hospitality for that game. You can't predict weather in Texas, but last fall was wet and windy. TCU will make sure it is first-class before they open it as they always do.
There is also a capital portion to the East Side. It can be paid all in full last year or over five years. TCU will get that portion of the money in 2019 regardless.
Gary can handle the first three home games just with the talent he has on this team, but he is going to want that home field advantage noise for the UT game.
Thanks a lot.... Not all of us live in the Promised Land. If it isn't too much to ask, it would be great if you posted those same angles of pictures here every couple of weeks.
Really excited for the impact of this project.
