Anyone have any photos of the start of the construction?

Right....the stadium is not staying this way.....they've got to remove the bleachers to put the SEBO in that same location. The SEBO is going to make our stadium "look" a 100 times better, not to mention all the things the facility will actually provide as well.

Also, thanks Metz for posting the photo.
GO BG!!!

Not a whole lot going on. Just missing seats :D
Thanks...

Not much, but at least moving forward...projects normally start slow though, but I hope they get moving, so there is at least some kind of a structure up for any TV games that BG might have.

Even though it won't be finished, if BG can get a TV appearance while at home, it would be a great recruiting tool, because I am sure they would do a report on the construction.

The BG-Toledo game is set to be on ESPN 2 later this year, so maybe, MAYBE, something will be up by the end of November to look at. Either way, I'm sure that they'll have something to say about it to the nation.

I would think that having a SAC on the stadium will change the perception people have of the Doyt for the better. We'll just have to deal with the north end being open for a year.
Yeah you are right, it will all be worth it in the end. It would not bother me so much if the seats on the South end were still there.

I kind of miss them. But in all honesty, the south end bleachers weren't anything to spectacular compared to the north end. In fact, in terms of the big picture I believe all of the endzone bleachers were only intended as temporary structures that were to later be replace by more permanent seating and/or the SAC.

I'd rather have seats in the end zone as well...and there will be when the SAC is done. Will be nice to see that North end enclosed.
