No more visible construction going on at the champion center. From what I can tell, its all about the graphics and finishing touches now inside.
The IPF however is entering finishing stages and it looks fantastic.
1) Kalwall panels going up on the south side, and I believe already installed on the east side.
2) Roof tiles going on
3) finishing south face, believe louvers are going in on the corners due to the mechanical equipment being housed in those areas
4) big terra cotta colored sheet on the roof is the base/backdrop for the solar panels. Going to be massive.
5) stone work appears to be done.
It's not that I'm small, you just have a long snapper!?
From the photo, the field doesn't look as wide as regulation. Also, I have a hard time visualizing a punt not hitting the steel. Is that an optical illusion kind of thing? And don't take this as criticism. I know that after only seeing photos and web cams of it and then actually seeing it in person, the photos just don't do it justice. That facility is so totally full of awesome! Can't wait to see the track. And, come to think of it, what is the length of the track? Is it a full 400 or is it more like a 300 meter track? I think the Air Force track is, like, 300 meters or 320 meters.

I figured. It took probably 80 stairs to get 20 feet below which would be 60 feet. A full size 8' pine tree looked like a twig on top too.
Ha! I'm pretty sure it is 85 ft.
From a physics forum:
"Yesterday I took a tour of the new Dallas Cowboy stadium and it is an engineering marvel. Above the field is a mammoth 4 sided scoreboard/screen, the bottom of which is 90 feet off the playing field. (Its length extends from 20 yard line to 20 yard line) There is debate as to whether that is too low and may be hit by punts. I’ve read that the average hang time for an NFL punt is 4.6 seconds. To calculate the height I used the following reasoning, does this seem sound? Discounting aerodynamics, a punted football will follow a parabolic arc, with exactly half it’s time traveling upwards, and the other half downward. That’s 2.3 seconds going up and 2.3 seconds going down. Using the formula y= (0.5)(32.2 ft/s sq)(time squared). I calculate the average height based on average hang time is 85.2 feet. A hang time of 4.73 seconds and above translates to 90 feet and higher height. Does this seem correct? I am ignoring velocity/trajectory in the x direction, and only working in the vertical
based on time of flight."Reference https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/punted-football.325024/
you are right, I remembered it was 5 ft shy of jerryworlds scoreboard, I just off on the heightHa! I'm pretty sure it is 85 ft.

So, can you punt one that high bcs?

This place is going to be so badass when they get the graphics on the wall.
Are we growing synthetic turf? Badass! Suck it, Aggies!

I hope that isn't manure.
Its sand.
Sand goes down first than the rubber pellets. Its all about weighing down the turf so it doesn't shift on the floor.
<clears throat> ..I..ahh..think he may have been...never mind.
How do you think the turf stays so green? Sheesh
Couple days old, but RG gives an overview of the IPF.
