I do have a couple of "Needs work" since the happiness of getting a closer look is over:
- A TON of landscaping needs done around the Sebo. There are still large mounds of dirt and weeds everywhere. We got a first class facility, let's just make sure the surroundings match.
- The water proofing done on the East stands makes that side look light years better than the West stands. Can we get both stands done so they match?
- Sebo still isn't "done." I saw electrical work being done on the inside and there's a lot of work that needs done on the outside.
- Didn't see any signs of a new fence like what was in the original work order. Maybe it'll come at a later time?
- I couldn't tell what kind of goal posts are going to be installed. It looks like they may possibly be the "hinged" type that can be put down/removed easily.
- There's some very dangerous area in the stands in regards to concrete damage. This needs fixed ASAP so that we don't have someone gets hurt.
Sebo and the field are a great start to a mass renovation. We just need another phase to improve the actual stands/concessions areas.
Definitely...the place looks great but there is still work that needs done. I keep thinking back to 2000 and how different the place looks today.
I am too jacked for these next 48 days to pass by....GO BG>

I wasn't thinking dirty. I just love how you see to know everything. First with every aspect of sports, then the computer knowledge came out followed by the complete understanding of everything at BGSU and now you're a photographer. Just cracks me up.
I've never pretended to be a computer genius , but I do know a thing or two about photography. I own 2 35mm slr bodies and have been shooting for about 7 years.

Ok? Most people have been taking photos for 7 years. Having 2 SLR bodies says nothing to me...you need lenses to go with those.

Photos look good. Like Grant said, I'm just excited about going to a game in the whole new environment. I was never on board with the new turf, I'd much rather keep grass, but there is still something exciting about change.
Hopefully the product on the field can live up to all the money we're putting into the facility.
Man, looking at that photo, it actually looks more like that section of turf is damaged more than it looks like it is only matted down. It actually looks like chunks of the turf are falling out (it looks like pieces around the side of the mark are sitting in chunks) and that the area of turf is thinned out. If that’s the case, they should absolutely replace this strip of turf. Has anyone seen this section of turf recently? Maybe they have repaired it already. What part of the field is this in?

Hmm...okay I'll bite. I own a Minolta Maxxum stsi body and a Maxxum 5 body. Lenses are Minolta 28-80mm, a 19-35mm and a 70-300mm. I also own a Bogen tripod. Their buddy, you happy?
Oh yeah, and a photo of the Toledo skyline at sunset I took was featured in the 2005 TMACOG calender.
I think it may be the result of alien fornication. Hey, aliens have to get theirs, too. It could happen.

OR you guys could do this privately... you know... not on a BG sports site in a thread about Doyt photos... or maybe that's just me thinking silly thoughts.

Irregardless, ( ) I think it's time for more recon photos now that we have our sideline done...not to mention the brilliant master plan of letting our opponents walk on gravel!
