Jack Trice Construction

TheHelgo · 10-31-2007, 08:25 AM

So, is this officially set to begin on November 11th? I seem to recall JP saying construction would begin "the day after the final home football game".

I am curious - does anyone know if they will have webcams in place for crazy CF'ers to monitor the construction progress?

They had the web cames for the indoor practice facility so I imagine they will for this as well.

The University puts web cams up for all construction projects on campus.

Is anyone else curious why they havent set a start date for phase II? I dont think its going to happen after the 08 season most likely after 09 or 10

Whats phase I again?

TheHelgo · 10-31-2007, 08:47 AM

Phase 1 wasn't even announed until last Spring was it?

On monday Nov 12, we start the Asbestos Abatement on 5 Concession Stands on the Boxes on the east side of the stadium.

I don't think Phase II has a date set... just approval to move forward once we have the funding.

Note the 2nd half of that sentance... that will determine when phase II goes through probally - that or our attendance numbers, which is closely linked to raising the funding (Since the entire project is being funded by ticket sales and private donations)

EDIT
Cost of Phase II still hasn't even been determined so...

That'll better explain things...

New suites, new windows on old suites, new restrooms and consessions on west side and wider concourse on west side, new club section on east side.

East side concourse expansion and RRs and consessions on east side are included in the phase II work, along with the bowling in of the south endzone.

Looks like prices have to go up for south end bowling. No single game sales for nebraska fans next year?

cytech · 10-31-2007, 09:14 AM

I think the timeline is for Hilton Phase 1 to begin before Jack Trice Phase 2 does. So I imagine it will be 2010 or so before phase 2 Jack trice happens, unless the 50k per game average hastens the bowling of the end zone.

Yeah I seem to recall a $14 million price tag when Gene Smith brought it up back in 1999 or so.

If you won the lottery would you donate a portion of your winning to these projects? If the answer is yes how much?

I'm guessing the lottery is the only way my fellow CF'ers could donate a substantial (1mil +) sum.

If you are not a member of the NCC, every $100 a year adds up in the long haul.

Just think there are approximately 200,000 living alumni. If half of those people dontate $100/year, that would be $10,000,000/year in funds for the athletic department.

Since we do not have a Boone Pickens, it is going to take a lot more of us individually to get our friends and relatives to joine the NCC even if it is only $100/year.

I imagine thats the only way most of us could donate a substantial sum...

How funny would that be? They give you an award between quarters thanking you for your generous donation...

"_____ _____ won the lottery and recieved a ****ton of money. He gave us a little piece of the pie, so please join Athletic Director Jamie Pollard in thanking _____ _____ for his generous sharing of his lottery money"
