    They don't intend to have it open for the beginning of the league's season.

    I'm dreading the home schedule next season. It'll be great to be in a new stadium, but the home games are really going to be stacked up during the summer and fall.

    Looking at the three pictures you posted, it does not look like the sun dial moved at all. Or is this one of those "what's different" tests that I use to see in the magazines at my dentist's office as a kid?

    The sun dial has moved, nothing else.

    That's because the Crew wanted to be known as the hardest working team in MLS, or at least that's they tried to sell

    She either doesn't really know or she lied.

    New BS is being weird with copying images and storing them on BS versus looking at image URLs. That's why they all appear the same now.

    It's all automated, non-union robots and self-driving cranes - saves on worker comp liabilities and equal opportunity lawsuits.

    Or the construction firm has hired vampires, they can work all thru the night, and don't show up in pictures, so no video evidence of worker mistreatment

    I think we should start a pool on what date the cement pipes that look like tires (in the foreground) are removed from the site...

    I'll start with May 17

    What is interesting is that the pictures @sitruc has posted are not still shots per se but the current pic on the Oxblue feed. In other words, when the pic changes on the site, it too changes on the pictures that sitruc has posted. There is an Add Media button at the top of the page. Is it possible to post the link as part of this thread?

    Actually we can thank the DCU FO for actually being able to get this done in a quick time period, I mean if we had a great FO, our stadium would take 2-2.5 years to build since it would be AWESOME, instead we have metal bleachers painted red so shouldn't take more than a year :)

    Good, probably making sure it's safe and the workers are properly trained before starting instead of just going in and looking busy hurting themselves causing problems for later in the process :)
    Always better to hire union guys for most of this type of construction work.

    I have zero problem with that timeline, I like Lot 8 :D

    You're cute, I'm sending over a big union construction guy to educate you the old fashion way :cool:

    In all seriousness, let's not get anyone hurt building this thing.
    We've waited 15+ years, we can wait a bit more . . .
