hoorta Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 http://www.earthcam.net/projects/turner/firstenergystadium/?cam=cam2 Yeah, I've been following the progress- but they had better get it in gear, less than a month till the first preseason game. The other board isn't even up yet, and there's stands that have to be put up too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The patio underneath will be an awesome party place when they are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other board isn't even up yet, and there's stands that have to be put up too. I think they are in good shape unless there is some electrical glitch with the scoreboards. The board went up in a week, so the other shouldn't take much longer. Seats can probably be installed in 2-3 days tops, and that wouldn't have any real weather requirements.

miktoxic Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 well at least they have turner const. doing the job. they are top notch in their field. i used to install and edit tape for a comm. photographer who was sub-contracted by turner to view const. progress. they were permanently place time-lapse cams which were fed to separate svhs decks inside const. boxes. instead of the all the project managers from all across the country coming in to look first hand at what was going on they could all view time lapse footage of a 2 week period to see what progress was being made. got out of that gig just as digital was taking over. amazing at how far the tech has gone to be able to view this as a fan.

The Gipper Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 maybe because it's dark and no one is there? I must have missed something. It was light out what I saw.

I thought they were pretty cool looking. Those are 10Xs the size of the old ones. What do you want? The Jerry Screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miktoxic Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 i have the same ratio viewing aspect of sitting on the 50 looking at the jerry screen.....it's in my man cave and it's not affected by weather or drunken dolts that i don't know.

LOL use the < & > arrows at the bottom of the pic. As an AV (audio visual) buff- what you're currently seeing is a bunch of RGB red-green-blue, black\white testing going on. And "size" matters to a point. Once you reach a certain size, you have to break it down into smaller sizes. (Around 20) I'm guessing from the earthcam.

The Gipper Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Well, the one thing I do notice is that this scoreboard is tending an awful lot to look like the State of Tennessee. It is more or less a parallelagram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is more or less a parallelogram. LOL, now that you mention it- it does. Jimmy's idea? BTW, the new stands in the East end zone started going up today. PS unless I'm seriously mistaken, some folks are now going to have obstructed views in the West end zone. hope they give them a discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoeticG Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 One side is completely up and the other has now started to go up, just the bottom row of screens has been put up but it looks as if BOTH screens will have the one side angled slightly. I didn't remember seeing them like that in the mock ups, is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't remember seeing them like that in the mock ups, is that correct? I remember seeing the angles and wondered why they would do that? Anything will be much better than what was there. I'm looking forward to the new patios and restaurants being installed under and behind the new boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoorta Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 West scoreboard now fully functional- go to 13:00 today (7-31). Still a lot of work to be done one the East end- concrete to be poured for the stands to the left of the scoreboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through all the pictures from yesterday when they were trying to fix the left side of the board. It was cool watching the transition of everything they were going through. Eventually they got the full American flag waving on it. The screen looks great, btw. Seems like an awesome addition to the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballpeen Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Looks like that second board could be done today or early tomorrow. Most of the seats are being installed,,,shaping up. Once the second score board is calibrated, it looks mostly to be putting up advertising signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah- probably a week to finish installation and calibration, advertizing will go up in a matter of days. I'm looking forward to the new restaurants being constructed behind the boards, I don't know if that was in this phase or next seasons phase. I like getting into the stadium early to avoid the long lines at the turnstiles As to the long lines- part of the plan (next year's I believe)- is to put in more entrances to alleviate the just before kickoff crush. The SW entrance is particularly bad. & Yeah, I'm wondering about that too. If you look at the "finished" pictures, there's supposed to be stands to the left of the East Scoreboard. The structural steel is in place- but they'd have to set up supports to pour cement, a multi day project- and then it would take weeks to cure enough to put a few hundred seats on top of it. Though it looks like they have some stuff ready to go underneath it.We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The just put them in on the metal supports....think concrete barricades on the highway, and even if they do pour, the quick cure concretes these days are ready to go in a day or two. It is on time. If it wasn't, you'd see some 3rd shift action. As for the concessions...I think that is a part of next years project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuwoohio Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 The east endzone board is now showing images, and being put through it's paces. The smaller square board is up, and the small rectangular screen is still not up. Looks to be proceeding niecly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miktoxic Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 pretty soon those screens will be showing highlights of running backs running wild, qbs going crazy, receivers floating in air... and then for our away fans their WRs getting pumMelled, QB getting smashed and RB getting fake grass in his teeth.

Oh yes the early part of the season brings out the best of the scantily clad I can't wait. I just picked up two more seats for the opener today for my daughter and her friend. She has been begging me to let her use my season tickets, I figured I'd just buy her a set instead of giving up mine. And yes she and her friend will be scantily clad for all of you that would like to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
