Official Stadium Thread Part IV: Going for the Vertical Rumble

some of my best friends are sounders fans...

 

My father's a Sounders fan.

 

I am not.

 

As I read through this thread I don't see a projected finish date. Do any of you guys know if they are really planning on having this completed for the entire 2010 season? Looking at the construction images that seems like a very lofty goal.

 

They plan on having it finished, but they've also mentioned having the first few games away in the event that it isn't totally ready.

 

So far, the word is that it's on schedule. The underground work is done, the walls are rising, and they don't have a problem getting construction workers with time available right now, so it could very well happen. Building sites tend to look like nothing for a long time, then shoot up quickly once the infrastructure is in place.

 

From their Facebook page updated earlier today.

 

Here are some more.

 

When does the steel start going up?

 

After my wife comes back from her night out drinking. Talk about your 'vertical rumble'.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

Thatwas the idea in naming the thread...

 

unfoturnately Pa snow sotrms are very unpredictable.
We can have anything from nothing to the one in I think it was 96'.
So hopefully we have a light winter this year to finish the stadium in time.

 

Could Philly be the first MLS team to play their first 15 on the road, and all the remaining games at home?

 

I can never see that happening to any team...

 

We came close in Chicago we played our first 9 games on the road in 2006.

Woah !!! When did all of this happen ??

 

the stadiums lookin good

 

I'd love to see some steel soon. A webcam would be nice too.

 

Wen yu wuzzint lukin'!

 

Anyone know how often Google Maps updates their satellite images? Right now, the stadium site is still blank and the Comcast Center is still under construction, so I'm guessing our area's map is a few years behind, at least.

 

Google Earth maybe up to date. I dont use it but I know people update it very frequently.

 

I fail....Im sure we could petition to get it updated though if we really wanted to.

Maybe if we all bought cheap webcams and mailed them to the front office they'd get the hint...
