New Stadium Expansion Pictures - 11/29/2009

The recovery from the flu and pnuemonia has really knocked me on my rear and has limited my trips out to the stadium.

I was able to get out today and get a round of shots before the Thanksgiving weekend.

A few noticable changes have taken place since the last time I was out.

The stone Double-T's are now on the columns on the northwest corner. The railings and staircases have now been painted black and red.

The most interesting change is on the norrtheast corner. They are putting up a brick wall that extends away from the northeast corner about a third of the way down of the new corner. I was not able to get a clear shot of it, but I pointed it out on the pictures below.

In a non-stadium update, the razing of the Hastings building across from the stadium is well underway.

Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

New Stadium Expansion Pictures - 11/12/2009

I have not had a chance to get pictures from campus or the stadium the last two weeks because I have been dealing with the flu and pneumonia.

Today was my first day back at work this month and I took this group during lunch today.

They are continuing to add more steel to the top of the east side building.

More Pictures Coming Soon

I've been dealing with the flu and pneumonia for the couple of weeks and have not had the chance to get out and take new pictures lately.

I'm returning to work tomorrow and hope to have some new shots by this weekend or early next week.

Stadium Panoramic - Gameday Attendance Record Version

I cannot claim credit for this one.

My oldest son is a senior at Tech this year and took the shot during pre-game of Saturday night's game. He took the shots with a Nikon D60 and edited the panoramic in Photoshop.

The view is from section 22 or 23 of the stadium.

Raiderville and other New TTU Campus Pictures - 10/23/2009

Raiderville has been moved to a new location this football season due to the construction of the east side building at Jones AT&T Stadium.

Raiderville is now located near the southwest corner of the old men's gym and old Southwest Conference Circle. This is a grass area and has a large number of trees to provide shade for the students.

There were only a handful of students on hand when I took these shots at lunch today.
