SHAC Construction Updates

[NDSUstudent]

Why has it been forever since NDSU has had a video update. At the beginning of the project they had one once a month; despite them being somewhat boring with concrete and pipe installation and stuff like that. Now that it is near completion, there would be a lot more to show. Unless this is a whole secret reveal like the FD video boards. Either way, can't wait to get in there for a game.

At this point it probably make sense just to have one big final unavailing video to show off the finished product.

My thoughts exactly...half hour video minimum.

Still think the video board could be hung a little higher.

It does appear to be a little lower than usual...hmmm maybe they're working on some kind of home court advantage....lol!

I'm a bit surprised they put seats behind the posts again. If they really needed those extra seats to sell, they should have closed in the corners a bit more or extended the other 3 sides up a bit higher.

My thoughts exactly. Just don't understand how the column issue was not discussed and addressed as part of the design. To put seats behind them makes me wonder where else the layout is flawed.

The thing is they did nothing to that area except take out the old seats and add in nice new ones. It is a ton better than leaving the old seats in there and that was a distinct possibility up until the last 6 months. There really is nothing that could have been added in the area behind the posts without removing posts and taking out large portions of the upper concrete structure that was reused. It would have been 7 figures just to not have seats behind a post that 99% of the time are not sold anyway. As it is now 95% of the seats are very usable.

How about just don't put seats behind the pillars and frame in the area? Could have made up for any lost seats and then some by cutting back less in the corners of the pullout seat area. This isn't very complicated and should have been covered in Architecture 101.
