I walked past today. The scoreboard is down and they are now doing pilings on the east side stands, so it looks like the east side of stadium is going to go up before the west side will. The seats are also blue!! And the club seats at the upper levels of the south stands have seatbacks. All in all, the stadium looks freaking amazing, it's so inspiring!
...and talking about inspiring, have you guys walked around the new Graduate Business Buildings? Holy nuts, they are so nice, all wooden furniture, top of the line, plasma screens, foutains and everything, everything looks stunning. GO FIU!!!

Kevin...I'm sure you mean east side (east endzone) first, and then the west endzone area where they are going to tear down the "old" fieldhouse. From what I understand, they will go in that order....They should be (or already done that) in the process of moving all the weight room stuff to the Pharmed Arena, where they used to have the racquetball courts in an interim basis, while they build the new facility...I hear it will be awesome!
Any pictures? New, updated renderings?

Walked by the stadium yesterday. The east stands have officially started going up and you can now see the "curve" from the south stands to the east stands. In the next week I suppose the east stands will begin to go up and later connect to the south ones.
The west stands looked like they were working on plumbing and foundation. The suites have the roof on them and I think the floors. I don't think any significant construction has begun on the Panther Club underneath the south stands but I'm not sure. Overall, the stadium is going up really fast and it's looking really great, everyone's excited about it! Go panthers!!
