Stadium Work has Begun!

[HToady]

I usually run a couple of mornings a week on campus. This morning i decided to take my camera to get some "before" pictures. I plan to take pictures to document the stadium progression.

There were already construction crews in the upper deck removing bleachers (near the top) and setting up scaffolding around the base of the press box. Plus a big crane in the southwest corner.

I'll post my pics when I can get my wife to show me how

Removing bleachers near the top? Umm, we have one more game that will probably be sold out. We may need those.

Seriously.... what tha?

 

[Houston Frog]

Seriously.... what tha?

It's part of their plan to make the west-siders stand up during the game

 

[TopFrog]

It will still be sold out ... just with fewer seats.

 

[HFrog1999]

I'm sad. I don't like change. I like Amon Carter the way it is. Don't be surprised if you see me chained to the upper deck later today.

 

[Big Frog II]

I don't believe too many seats will be removed for the scaffolding. Those people can be placed in the student section.

 

[fdub]

awesome.

Based on last year after the Utah game, being undefeated, the last game against UNM drew about 41,000, which is good. I think SDSU will be about the same if we beat Utah since the Aztecs will bring or draw a small fan base. Maybe I'm wrong, but probably 42K.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:



They can probably remove the stadium lights on that side.. since our next game is a day game

SDSU could be 7-2 and ranked when they come to the Carter. I would expect a larger crowd than the New Mexico game.

Those picture updates would be appreciated.

So are they going to blow up Amon Carter?!?! Like they did Texas Stadium.

I want to see it if they do!

Maybe he already has pictures, but isn't going to share. :tongue:

Yeah, New Mexico was one of the worst teams in CFB history last year (and I believe it was over Thanksgiving weekend). If we are undefeated against a pretty good SDSU team for the final game, I would expect a considerably larger sellout crowd (not to mention, it will be the last game ever in ACS as we know it)

If we beat Utah, the SDSU game will sell out. I'm almost certain of that. Last home game in what could be an historic season and the last game ever in the old ACS . . . .

I would be very surprised if 44-45k didn't show up for that.

 

[Power of Purple]

Get rid of the upper deck. This is all for the best. Amon Carter is in disrepair.

My thoughts exactly. Really hoping SDSU can win their next two and get into the rankings for our game.

This could be the start of a sell-out streak. We get one for SDSU, then every game next season. After that we go back up to 40,000, which we could draw pretty regularly. Let it begin!

Wouldn't it be the 2nd game in a row? AF was a sellout
