They are on schedule as of now. Once the season wraps up and the concrete is all done you will see people work around the clock more. There's a huge penalty if they aren't finished on time.

As a Mississippi State fan, how is it possible not to know what Davis Wade Stadium is? Don't answer that. I suppose anything is possible - including a mod suspecting an account is fake where the user doesn't recognize their own home football stadium.

Actually, MSU has fans all over the world (queue the Korean school kids singing "Hail Dear Old State" that was on YouTube).
I thought it was possible that Deepikarai (or whatever) might be one who had stumbled across this site and wanted information. It is an East Indian name so who would use it except an East Indian?

I also thought it was a too quick "hook" and might have been interesting to ask them why they didn't know, you know, for the sake of international relations and world peas.

They've got 3 months... or about 1/7 of the total work time of the project remaining...

I wouldn't take anything you are "hearing" as gospel from anyone other than Stricklin. The landscaping can be done very, very quickly. It might take months to fully take shape though, much like the hedges in Davis Wade....

If you haven't seen the pictures posted on Monday, you need to check them out. They will be down to punch list items and possibly a few signs - things that won't impact the use of the stadium or the fan experience. 100% - maybe not. But, the great fear of an incomplete project is way off base, and have been for the past 3-4 months.

Are you really insinuating that the shutdown of student ticket sales yesterday was a way to delay selling them in case they needed to move scoreboard club ticketholders into the bowl? Cause if so then that's just kinda wacky...

And you are also making assumptions in an information vacuum. Yes, a couple of dates have been mentioned by Scott publicly - but none of us have any idea if there were change order impacts, or what the actual wording of the contract was, or what the expectation of the athletic department has been. Scott's expectation for completion and ours may be two totally different things. Unless you've got a copy of the contract, it sounds like bitching just to bitch.

not insinuating at all. Asking if it could be related. I don't how many of y'all have ever wagged the dog, but it happens quite often in political environments... and athletics fund raising is one of those environments.

Again though, not suggesting that at all. Just wondering out loud about the timing of it. It would also be a common sense solution to a problem if they are concerned about finishing on time. Why would you kick your donors out of their seats when you could just wait to distribute student tickets? It would actually be one of the only logical solutions if this is a problem. Again... "IF."

Yes, a couple of dates have been mentioned by Scott publicly - but none of us have any idea if there were change order impacts, or what the actual wording of the contract was, or what the expectation of the athletic department has been. Scott's expectation for completion and ours may be two totally different things. Unless you've got a copy of the contract, it sounds like bitching just to bitch.


this is just a ignorant stance to take. The athletic director of our university specifically said that the date of completion and the date we would be given the keys to our new stadium was tomorrow. So either that is true or not.

Some of you guys worry to damn much. If they're late by a few days, they will be penalized in their compensation. So worst case scenario, we have an early contribution to the new Dudy Noble, and still a week+ before game day. Have a drink

The road isn't part of the stadium! But that small section can be paved and striped in under 2 hours max.

forget that, it was supposed to be finished yesterday and it wasn't but I am supposed to believe them when they say "oh but we will be done next week" . Ill believe it when I see it.. It will be usable no doubt but it will not be 100 percent complete.

Where did I say that the entire construction crew would be dedicated to the road? I highly doubt that all the workers will be working on the road. They also probably bring in a road crew for that type of work though I'm not sure about that.

Again, I never said that it would be completely finished. I've always been on the side that it will be serviceable come August 30. Should they have finished completely? Yes, but I'm not going to moan and complain about it. That's the University's job... Not mine

I'm just screwing around man. I'd be absolutely floored if they can't host fans in every seat, but I don't anticipate it being a 100% done project. Haven't for a while and heard this week that it's likely to still require work after kickoff.

It's all good. I've had a feeling since I got to Starkville in July that it wouldn't be done completely in time. I've always felt like it would be serviceable though. They'll get back in there after we play UAB and go on the road for two straight weeks and then have an off week. It should be done by the time we play A&M on Oct. 4.

I made my point that i disagreed, in his mind the endzone saying Hail State instead of Mississippi State creates a better marketing platform vs people identifying with THE NAME OF OUR SCHOOL.
I just really think its overkill when there is a banner that will be any overhead shot that captures the end zone that already says Hail State.
