Andy's right, you spent multiple pages lecturing us all about how UR should've taken out the track, gotta take out the track, I'm the man I know, just do it, no other concerns, if you were men you'd do it, you're weak etc., etc., etc.
Then, when your weak ass gets called out on EWU: IT'S ALL UP TO EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. To not understand the hypocrisy in your posts (and the sarcasm in mine), makes me wonder if your parents should let you use the computer.

EDIT: Seriously man, let me know if you have some sort of mental issue, because I really don't want to pick on somebody like that.

You know a poster is nuts when a JMU fan is defending the actions of UR. :lol: Well said, MC

Pic 11 really gives the first chance to see the stands with some perspective. Definitely bigger than they looked in the other pictures.

Its looking like a really really nice place. The brick work really fits the Richmond campus.

How many rows of seating is this place going to have? At times it looks like maybe just 5-10 rows.

I think its going to have two sections of rows that are at different heights. The angle of some of the pics really skews the actual size.

There are actually a couple "newer" galleries posted today..

So click on the view other galleries link. There are galleries posted today 2/24/10. I think all the snow Richmond received in the last month or so might have slowed down construction some. But, it looks great so far. I can't wait to see it once the decks for the seats have been installed, it will really give a better feel as to how the stadium will look.

These renderings give a better idea of the number of rows..

In plan at least, the depth of the stands looks pretty similar to the Robins Center Basketball arena. Here is an image to get an idea of how many rows that is (30 or so).

Good timing I guess. They must have added them in the last hour.

Its hard to visualize without the steel in place to support the actual bleacher seating.

The new pics that Bostonspider posted include some of the steel and it makes a huge difference, to me at least.

I think I see what you're saying. I think its actually centered on the bleachers, but the wall that surrounds the track is different on either side of the bleachers with a ramp on one side and a full wall on the other. That may be what gives it the look of being off center.

They actually appear to be putting pictures up as we speak, so maybe there will be shots that are more clear.

I think it will be centered. Looking at this slightly older image, the press box seems centered. I think that there is more metal, and less concrete to the right side because of the existing admissions complex that the stadium is bumping up against. They are definitely extending the wall of the stands in front of the admissions building, shielding it from the field.
