The FIU Athletics website has not updated yet the pictures of the construction of our new football stadium. Anyone been by there? Can you give us a report...or better yet...some pictures of the progress? When I was there earlier this month, it was amazing how fast they were building that thing and coming up VERY NICE!!
Anyone?

I park next to it every day and it looks like it is going to be nice. I saw them taking down the scoreboard. It looks like they are starting to build the club level. It looks like the club level is going to be outlined in blue. They are building it very quickly. Just last month the stadium looked like a skeleton, just metal beams. now there are bleachers and seats and the club level. at this rate the stadium should be 1/2 completed by christmas break.

From what I have seen, stuff at FIU goes up very quickly, so I am not surprised. I can't wait to see it finished.

I read somewhere that they were two weeks ahead of schedule. I think the fact that the hurricane season has been quiet has helped with that.

Not bad. Miri is correct though in saying that stuff gets built quickly at FIU. The school of law, graduate school of business, everything seems to get completed without delay. FF,II,UU...FIU!!!

Thanks yipee!! Please, keep them coming, from those of you that can!
Although it is hard to see much, it seems that most of the bleacher "seating" is pretty much installed, except for the eastern-most portion of the South Side bleachers. Interesting that the suites portions can already be kind of "pictured" there.
That structure is gonna look terrific. I see the "old" scoreboard has been removed from its old location.....

Thanks for the visual, yippee. Any image is better than none. Without even your cameraphone picture all I have to go on is my imagination.....which can tend to run wild.
