Have they done anything to Owens or the track yet? I thought the building was coming down the Monday after the SBC Championship game.

No. They pushed that back to mid/late February

Maybe it’s the same people doing road work in Charlotte. They’ll tear down Owens after the finish the Hawthorn Bridge.

Hope they didn't hire the same crew that widened 321. What'd that take, 11 years?

Longer I'd say...they were already working on it when I was in school in 2003 and they just finished it

Last update I got was giant tree was cut down in front of ticket booth and light poles have been removed. That was about 10 days ago.

[mike87]

it'd take Boone 10 days to get over cutting a tree.

[Rekdiver]

Definitely on mountain time

They started shutting down 321 to blast in 2006. Kids these days won't remember the cannonball run down 321 trying to beat the blasting schedule then turning around because you missed it by 5 minutes.

Luckily, I was gone by then. I really miss the drive up on the old 321, I felt like a rally car driver. I don’t miss getting stuck behind a semi prior to blowing rock though. I remember when there was a rock slide in 2002 and 321 was shut down, that was a pain.

Lost two months or 20+% of the off-season...

Yep. I was a freshman in 2002. I remember taking 221 to Marion, 40 to Asheville, 26 to Tuxedo, and 153 to Clemson to go visit my sister at school.

I can remember having to drive through "the valley" from Morganton during one of the washouts. Came out in downtown Blowing Rock. Globe Road, some of it was dirt. Only did that route once.

[mikeyosef]

Can someone in Boone post any construction related pictures???? I'm dying to see something; I'd even settle for the stump of the aforementioned giant pine that was cut down.

[yosef13]

Almost two months since our last home game, and a tree has been cut down. They better get moving. We have some big games coming up in Boone and need to have this construction behind us.

[mike87]

I think cutting the tree is the extent of it. All the rest was smokescreen to get that dang tree cut down.

[NoLongerLurking]

Doors and windows have been removed for implosion of the old field house.

[T-Dog]

The electrical has been taken out of Owens. It's deserted and looks like a building about to be destroyed. All the lampposts near it are gone. But it doesn't look any different, for now.
