Red Bull Arena Construction Thread, Part VI - Almost There...Stay on Target...Stay on Target...

via @redbullsreader

it really gives you a better perspective of how green the grass is. ahhhh healthy fresh cut grass...

 

What ? No Field turf?

 

OMG that looks awesome. Real grass!

 

I'm too happy to smack you for that comment sir. Kidding of course.

NO MORE GOD DAMNED FIELD TURF OR ASTRO TURF OR ANY OF THAT FAKE STUFF! REAL GRASS FOR A REAL FOOTBALL STADIUM!!!!!!!

 

At present pace, done by EOD Friday.

 

Yea... and when are they gonna put down the gridiron lines?

 

Beautiful grass and look at all the sections with seats now.

 

Also, if you look at the exterior cam, it looks like the furthest panel on the...not-part-of-the-circle section has been unrolled.

This is beautiful. I cannot wait.

 

Yup. Looks like they have all the "burritos" up there ready to go.

 

sprinklers are on now.......

 

First pieces of field laid at Red Bulls Arena

I can't wait to see it all finished. Congrats to you guys for having the nicest stadium in the league. With all the crap that you all have had to endure over the years, this stadium is much deserved.

 

I ride the Midtown Direct to and from work everyday, and I've watched this stadium rise over the last few months from a metal skeleton to a smooth gray structure that is breathtaking in its elegance and simplicity. I can't wait for it to be finished.

I know this has already been brought up but that roof isn't very transluscent. I'm concerned about light for the perimeter of the pitch. Transluscent roofs normally create this type of shadow.

 

Can we stop obsessing about the bloody roof? I think when they built the place they took all of this into consideration. They also have a very similar stadium in Europe on which to base their assessment.

 

It is a legit question compared to many others.

 

On RBNY's Facebook page they say they have now sold out all three of the midfield sections in the "lower bowl".



107 and 128 must be close to full as well.

I can't tell you how excited I am for you guys. This is clearly the best stadium in the US. I cannot wait to see games there as a visitor.

 

Wow! They'll be finished today, I'm sure.

 

Certainly looks like it.

 

wow it looks great. till this day i still cant believe we finally have our own stadium haha. ever since i was 9 when i first started watching the metrostars back in 1997, i've been hearing about a potential stadium going up for the club. 11 years later, its incredible to finally see this thing go up. i hope the fans fill the stadium every game. this stadium makes my even more proud to be a long time metrostars/red bulls fan, even though we suck haha

 

Looks like they are one truckload of sod short. Should be completed tomorrow. The seat installation guy needs to get a move on.
