This link should be stickied at the top of the forum.

Looks like they're cutting the sod off the field ... wasn't sure if they'd do that or not.

[Jack Lambert]

They could and should sell the shit out of that sod. Be pretty cool to have some of it as your front lawn.

Link is broken.

[BrickCityDawgs]

Yea this place I got the link from yesterday has been taken down. Not sure why. Hope they put it back up.

[Mjoelner34]

Just read on another board that someone called about the cameras and was told that Jesco had stopped letting people see the pictures.

If they're not back up by this weekend, I'll go snap a few pics Sunday and put on here.

Awesome idea. I wouldn't hate seeing this become an official Dudy Noble construction thread. We all obviously have a huge interest in this work, and a single place to post thoughts/ideas/discussions/photos/plans would help us all out.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

On twitter, you can search for ICM_LLC and they are posting some pictures every once in a while. You'll have to put up with some crap they are doing at OM also.

Gotta wonder why they took the construction camera down. Having it available seems to be pretty much standard practice these days. When the north endzone was being done, I seem to recall that they took the camera down for a while, allegedly because of an embarrassing water line break or something of the sort.

[CadaverDawg]

Didn't realize the scoreboard was on such a higher elevation.

[state66]

Quick question. Looking at the renderings and it doesnt go into any detail of the player and coaches areas. I am assuming the players locker room is going to be completely redone as well. Any info on the player/coaches only amenities that are apart of renovation? I am hoping we are creating one of the best facilities for our athletes as we are for our fans.

Just one quick picture I took this afternoon:

Some people hate Dorman Hall. Some hate the Hunter Henry Center. Me? I've always thought the sky boxes at Dudy Noble were the most hideous things on campus and to me, them being gone in their current form is going to be the most aesthetically pleasing thing about the new stadium.

Thanks Scooba!

[BrunswickDawg]

The have moved a ton of gravel in for the outfield - way more than I have ever seen on a field. Have they secretly decided to switch to field turf or is the new wave in drainage plans for grass fields?

[msbulldog]

Sounds like the makings of a french drain to me.

[mstatefan91]

Question that people may or may not have an answer to: are we still on track to be able to play all of our home games at The Dude this year or has the rain delayed progress?

[Bass Chaser]

Last I saw on Twitter field would be ready for fall ball October 9th. Now I don't know what that means for the stands.

What is going next to visitor dugout?

[Mjoelner34]

What is going next to visitor dugout?

Extending the chair-back seating down to the field. They're also going to do that all the way around past the home dugout although I'm not sure what it'll look like for that club level behind home plate.

[Bass Chaser]

Thanks from the camera angle it looks like the stands come out farther than the dugout.

[Mjoelner34]

They do.

From what I have read next season was planned to be a limited home schedule.

[Dawgpile]

I've loved following the construction cams, but I have one issue...

2892

It's blocked a full view of the plaza construction, and now the first of the steelwork. I'd go Harvey Updike on it if I could.

[ScoobaDawg]

They are starting to put up the frame for the extension of the lower deck, the main walkway and the second level down the 1st base line...
Frame for batters eye going up... Setting the edge of the grass from the field turf.

[TStationDawg]

Anyone have any info/idea as to what the huge random pole currently standing in the middle of the left field berm is for?

I have no idea what you are calling the LF berm... We have no LF berm... you mean 3rd base Berm that's not built yet? I see no pole...
If you are talking about dead center field that's the batters eye... Other than that I have no idea where you are looking...

My bad. Obviously meant RF berm.

[BrunswickDawg]

If I were to venture a guess - it is a support pole for safety netting that will cover the seating area. That is something that is going to become a requirement in the near future and we are thinking one step ahead of the lawsuit posse (just like with the LFL).

[ScoobaDawg]

My bad. Obviously meant RF berm.

Now that you point it out... good catch... no clue.. really hope it's not for a net... who knows..
What I keep trying to figure out is the hole in the berm wall on the back... That whole thing should be filled in and be one big berm I thought... odd

[Dawgpile]

The first treads are going on the new risers this morning!

That would be absolutely horrible. And there is no way that is going to be a requirement in the near future either. There are dozens of stadiums across the country with berm seating down the foul lines and none of them have that. Nor do any stadiums that have actual seating in those areas.

My guess is that it is a temporary utility pole for evening work in that area.

[Dawgpile]

Because of the way the seating juts out from behind the dugouts, I expected the protection from netting for those folks.

I didn't think it would extend into the berms. Surely it doesn't...just an anchor point?

[ScoobaDawg]

BAHAHAAH WHO CUT DOWN THE TREEE?????? The tree is down that was blocking the camera...

those pics don't do it justice. It's going be AWESOME when it's done. Just look at the one side on the cam and how high it is compared to Hump with what we had before. The fact its going to be uniform all the way around the backstop is going to look awesome.

Looks like they are testing out the sprinkler system this morning. Sod on the way soon maybe?

Remember that drawing of the stadium that was put out for companies for bidding purposes? Everyone was pretty upset b/c it was significantly smaller than the original?

Today it looks like they have come closer to the "Death Star" with the stadium scaffolding than that "smaller" drawing depicted. Looks closer to the original in proportion, I think.

Some interesting notes from that article...


"After the full project is finished in 2019, there will be 13,000 seats but total capacity will surpass the capacity before the renovations."
First time I have seen a number of completed seats I believe.



For the 2018 season, the area from foul pole to foul pole with the Left Field Lounge will be completed, and in 2019 there will be premium suites overlooking the field called the Left Field Lofts.
Fedric said the athletics department is deciding how they are going to lease the lofts, but they are overnight suites that can be rented out.
"It's going to be a very unique characteristic of the ball park," Fedric said. "The first phase will feature 12 units, and then there's a planned second phase toward the left field foul goal that can have either 12 or 16 depending on demand."


I didn't realize the lofts were going to happen so soon. Awesome.


As for the Left Field Lounge, there will be individually-framed composite decks with power, storage and better views. Grilling will still be allowed in the Left Field Lounge.

Storage? Last I knew the fire department said their could be no storage unless the university installed sprinklers in the storage...Interesting if true.

[BrunswickDawg]

Storage? Last I knew the fire department said their could be no storage unless the university installed sprinklers in the storage...Interesting if true.

Maybe they will allow grills to stay on site but not have to be put in storage at the end of the game? That would alleviate the need for the sprinklers.

[TStationDawg]

So, do we know the date of the first home game to be played in new Dude next year, yet?

I am addicted to these cameras now! I can't wait to see to see third base side start taking shape! Looks like that may be a while though.

[Offshore Dawg]

I went to Swan lake to look at Gene's October 1st video. on the right field entrance "death star" the number of columns seems like the original plans that were released in color which showed 7 brick divisions in the circle of concrete entrance. The black and white plans that were shown as the bid plans, only had 4 brick divisions. What do y'all think.

No.... just no...What are you talking about... ?
It lines up exactly as the bid picture....

The area you are talking about in right folder. you can clearly tell the difference for several reasons.
1) The SIZE of the RF circle entrance is SMALLER.
2) You now have a lot smaller pathway entering the grandstand

And further.. I'm lost at what you are seeing at saying 4 columns or 7 columns in the ring. (we REALLLLY should use this as a ring of honor with something out there... come on.. COMMON SENSE which is one of the rasons i hated the smaller version)

Furthermore. the grandstand is what it is, it will be bigger and have more seating obviously and allow more standing room. I saw somewhere a number of 15k VIEWABLE seats the other day and that was exciting news.
The biggest difference in version is viewing angles since we didn't keep the more aggressive lines down the lines. And we lost a section or two that would have been built on each end. so its shorter.

Chill dude, I just said it looks like the original, not that it was the first plan. I have read your post for a long time on this and I know you are pissed about a lot of things that are not being done. Also it looks like foundation work is being done on the Lofts. Feel free to correct me on that observation also. He He !!

[Offshore Dawg]

Scooba, what I was mentioning is the brick pavers used at the entrance in that right field circle separating the concrete that you WALK on. The original plan had 7 lines of brick pavers that matched up to the columns. What we understood as the bid plans showed 4 lines of brick pavers. My <17>ing observation was it look like there were more than 4 columns meaning it may be closer to the original design which is what I hope they did.

Geez. Calm down. Ok I see on the plans what you are talking about but they haven't started construction of the walkways that I can see. Have watched Genes video several times and see no signs of the brick pavers at the entrance you are talking about. So I'm interested in what you are seeing at what second mark?


Same with foundation for the lefts? Gene is filming from behind the 1st base grandstand construction you can't see behind the Left field lounge (which they haven't started the wood structure part like in RF yet) The wood you see behind the concrete in LF at 1:07 is the 2nd level of the lofts with the wood bracing for the concrete being poured. You can see on the live cam shot today that's been removed.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qswcl_5Qpw0

[TXDawg]

What ticks me off the most about the scaled down (bid) design is that you're going to have an extremely small walkway between the "circular entryway" and the grandstand. That's going to create one heck of a bottleneck trying to move that many people through what appears to be a 20-foot wide opening to the grandstands.

That, plus, the smaller circle entryway looks like crap.

Some of that space in the original was non-view-able space. So I understand shrinking it. But not that small as you point out. If they had doubled the walkway over to the end (width) of the grandstand instead of midway, the walkway would be twice as depth and still have view-able angles. The land is shown as green space so it's not being used and it couldn't have been that more expensive. Oh well.

[Offshore Dawg]

Scooba, the number of brick pavers is equal to the number of columns on the entrance side as they radiate out from each one. I was not able to count the number of columns on the entrance side, so I don't know the numbers of pavers, to see if it equals those in the original drawing

[preachermatt83]

Wow!! We are building the greatest stadium in college baseball and ppl are complaining. Unbelievable

Thanks I see what you are talking about... and it's exactly per the bid pic. there are a total of 10 columns. in the original design there were 13.

[ScoobaDawg]

Wow!! We are building the greatest stadium in college baseball and ppl are complaining. Unbelievable

No worries.. I'll admit I've spent A LARGE amount of time watching this project and dreaming about details over the past 10 years of what we could have. the original blew me away for so many reasons.. especially wanting to remove the whole stadium and fix the sight line and angle issue.

And I'll admit. It's still going to be an amazing stadium (reserving best in country till I see what they do with the outside design.. aesthetics do count) but I do still have my issues with it compared to the original design.

I'm interested to see something else.. concerning the pathway from RF to the grandstand now that i noticed it. will that pathway be built on top of fill dirt or be structurally raised to the level above the berms and lower level seating.
If it's backfill that's more space we could have used for something else especially if that pathway was twice as wide. Oh well.


Well the major parts are up for the first half..and the field is down.. so the cam feed is kinda boring now haha

We definitely are

[TStationDawg]

Say what you want. Is what is being built the same as the first plans unveiled? No. Neither was Davis Wade reno (most reno's aren't whether commercial or residential). But its close. AND.. What IS being built is going to be 1. A dramatic upgrade 2. GOING TO BE AWESOME. #1 in the country will be in the eye of the beholder but this will put us in the conversation. I believe our fans will take it over the top. When packed, the fans are going to feel right on TOP of the visiting team. With cowbells in hand, its going to be super intimidating place to play baseball! I, for one, LOVE what I am seeing coming together! Especially the continuous concourse around outfield. It's always "technically" been there, but I think it being visible now, will add just another dimension to our atmosphere. I am also interested to see what upgrades we make to the locker room/player amenities as obviously, this will have a bigger impact than anything on what we put on the field! Just my .02.

[TStationDawg]

A lot of action behind home plate grandstand today! Can any of you turf guys explain what they are doing to the outfield today?

Not a turf guy - but it looks like the top dressed the field with sand. It helps spur growth.

Bases are out... Group of people are walking the outfield looking at the grass. The covering of the suite level and the roof are starting to go on.

Did I read somewhere the players could get on the field today?? surely I'm wrong about that..

[dawgwhisperer]

Practice started today and the players are on the field.

looks like we robbed the palmeiro center walls to make the CF wall! Killing 2 birds with one stone?****

Was the picture of the rolled up sod, New sod or old sod, and they just relayed the old sod? Or is it new sod they brought in.

Foul poles are in - there is almost 0 foul territory in the new Dude. That's going to be interesting.

[TStationDawg]

Alot going on in last 72 hours. Concrete going in grandstand; LF wall poured; Looks 3rd base side stands about to begin. I'm so pumped for the new Dude. Going to be awesome!

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

the individual spaces in the left field lounge and boy, some of those spaces look pretty small. Odd shaped as well. Not to mention the steps in some of them. looking at 2-3 workers standing in a space makes it look like you wouldn't be able to get but 6-8 people in some of the spaces. Add in chairs, grill and coolers, etc. and I'm not so sure about how these are going to be accepted. Hope it works out.

Not to mention the steps in some of them. looking at 2-3 workers standing in a space makes it look like you wouldn't be able to get but 6-8 people in some of the spaces. Add in chairs, grill and coolers, etc. and I'm not so sure about how these are going to be accepted. Hope it works out.

I've been saying that. We had one of the smaller rigs and could seat 24 and always welcomed people out. Now we'll barely have room for us 4 that pay for the spot plus our immediate family.

Outfield cam has now shifted to show construction of the first loft building. The main entrance camera has been frozen for a few days and has not updated.

[Pit Bull]

Looks like only the top 3 floors of the loft will be able to see the field. Kind of a waste of space if you ask me. Probably use the first 2 floors for storage of junk.

[Pit Bull]

Alot going on in last 72 hours. Concrete going in grandstand; LF wall poured; Looks 3rd base side stands about to begin. I'm so pumped for the new Dude. Going to be awesome!

First level is covered parking. Don't know how they will handle 2nd level - maybe mechanical rooms to keep the rooftop clear for cool stuff?

ETA - looking more closely, the first and second "levels" are open with no floor separating them (they have already started pouring the floors above). So it looks like they understood that they didn't need to waste money on finished spaces until they got above the back of the Lounge. Good architects think of shit like that....

[Skydawg1]

Not seeing an elevator shaft...usually they put that in first. Stairs only?

The lounge was open this year and the grills were pretty much where they always have been as far as I could tell from TV. There isn't any trucks or red neck construction any longer so that tiered deck and stands is it.

The stadium looks great!

Ok- so I'm confused on the statue foundations. What's with the concrete borders around the brick pedestals?

[ScoobaDawg]

Construction fence is down. Getting close.

Not sure about the concrete. looking for an image to compare.

only thing I can think of is the statues are going behind the bricks and the bricks are there only for sitting & "pic taking" purposes, but we'll see.....

You can also select the pitching mound and get a nice 360 view. I can't wait to make it down for a game.

Small detail but wish they would have added a couple of ribbon boards like at Davis Wade along the first and third base facade of the second level. Makes it even more Big League-feel than it already is.

As an Ole Miss fan, I would love to see pics of your stadium. I have to say that it is a truly impressive place. I have the same kind of gripes about our official website. If you go on there looking for the latest facility pics, they simply don't exist. VHS pics are pre-reno and so are most of the Swayze pics.

Anyway, I look forward to a really good baseball season. Best of luck to you all.

Actually, I think the link shows current pictures. Last night, it was a night view, and today it's a daylight view with rain. And the construction of the lofts seems about where you would expect.

That's just the gray background that will hold them looks like.. I assume they are lights. At least I hope so.

Still can't figure out what the weird shape blocks put down are for. they deleted the old master plan video and uploaded a new one a couple days ago
It shows a solid grey block with the two statues at the front entrance.... which I hate because it funnels you to two sides to enter.. and doesn't allow people to stand in between the statues (which people will just crawl on top of now instead). Look at 1:34 for the front entrance.

I think those look like flower beds for some landscaping. Guessing the sculptures will be facing each other and towards the parking lot. People will want to take pictures from the front of them and they won't be taken from the backside so they are landscaping around the back so that it will look more interesting as you leave the stadium. Will also keep people from climbing on the backside.

It looks like a ball might have to go 450+ feet to reach it. Maybe 475. That would be an epic shot.

I really hope they wouldn't put down concrete... then bricks... only to pour dirt over it... That would be stupid.

[MaroonBelle]

I really hope they wouldn't put down concrete... then bricks... only to pour dirt over it... That would be stupid.

To me that looks like ground/dirt inside the confines of the "bed" not brick. I didn't really look at any images before they built the bases so have nothing to compare it too but might it be possible that there was no concrete poured there originally because they planned some landscaping in that spot? If you look at the depth inside and outside the "bed" it appears that there is a difference and the depth inside is deeper than the bricked area.

Still hate they didn't add ribbon boards along the facade of the upper deck. Subtle touch that takes it up even another notch. Also, helps some of those in the outfield not have to turn all the way around to see the scoreboard.

After looking at the video Gene posted, I'm not sure that front flange of the upper deck is wide enough. But I'm not a real engineer to know. Plus depending on what the height is between the two levels they might not want to impede the sight line from the area where you can stand and watch.
