it would be cool if they added the arch look from pictures 7, 8, and 10 instead of just the steel beams.

Pretty Cool how its transformed

 

[TravisHenryCBlockedMe]

Yeah very cool. Too bad we couldnt preserve the outside columns.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Are the columns still there and just hidden from view by the ramps and beams?

Yes and no. The structure is under the beams but they aren't columns. Just appear to be by the design of the building.

Yeah, but the new 'brick' look will be pretty cool looking...

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Yep OWH I think it's going look so much nicer.

I'm glad they are doing the renovations. For as great as the spectacle is inside, the stadium is not very aesthetically pleasing from the outside and resembles a dungeon in some places.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Anyone got a link to what the renovations should look like when complete?

Weird to look at the picture from the mid-sixties and think that my father LIVED in the stadium during that time. They used it as a freshman dorm back then.

i find myself more facsinated (sp?) with the history of the stadium than i do with the history of the team.

although, are there books out about Tennessee football history? recomendations?

 

[volsgal03]

that is so cool, we do have a great stadium dont we.

 

[Crakaveli]

yeah but it needed upgrading. i dont know what the final product will look like bust those exposed beams need to be made more appealing.

I bought a copy of that for my dad for Christmas, it's very cool. I may have to get one for myself also.
