From another thread a student got the following information.

Items already completed include sod around the ampitheatre, trees, lights, etc.

1. Wednesday, they will put up the Shields Watkins Field Sign below the Neyland Stadium Sign.
2. They will also put up a lit power T above the Neyland Stadium sign.
3. The pedestal looking think in front of the ampitheatre is a light tower. According to the construction man, there will be a 16 foot orb or globe on top of it with a bright light in the middle. It is not a radio tower. I know it sounds crazy, but that is what he said.
4. The curved walls by the pedestal are only to cover the large transformers for the light tower. The call in show will be broadcast from the concrete steps on the opposite side of the light tower in front of the ampitheatre.
5. The entrance will still be used as a bus stop both during games and throughout the school year.
6. Flags will be hung from the gate 21 entrance presumably for championship years.
7. Eventually there will be similar (but not as large) plazas on all four corners of the stadium. This will begin two years from now at gate 10 (the ramp will be taken away and elevators put in).

I can't wait to get some daily updated pics of all this work yet to be done!

The second picture there is doctored. The left side should have a parking lot where the trees are. Still looks great though.

Not true, in one of the daylight pics you can see the trees in front of the Neyland Stadium signs. I think you are correct that there is a parking lot in the area, but there are trees as well. This is truly what you'll see if you approach from that direction. Nice isn't it?

Nope, on that corner, it's a lot with no trees and no stone wall.

Looks like whoever took it just flipped the other side of the street. Looks great, tho.
