That is not complete coincidence. The administration is listening.

This admin has been VERY good about listening to the fans, and then actually following through to make the changes we all want. I'm extremely excited about the overall direction of our AD right now. I hear there are more changes on the way too!

Best post ever, black is back! Also noticed that the temp bleachers looked different. They seem bigger as well but I cannot confirm.

Visited KBS today and I can confirm that the bleachers are higher, wider, and sturdier. They aren't the green ones we have seen in years past.

How many butts do you estimate can fit in those temps?

I read somewhere that capacity in the temp bleachers would be 2,500.

Unless we beat show well at UTk, beat ODU and Miami I hope we only rented them for a month because ticket sales to all games not Miami appear down.

Pretty disappointing for a fanbase that believes it needs a 30k seat stadium.

Anyway back to the good news about the endzone, just keep it simple with the design and one color for the letters.

Looks like we will have APPALACHIAN in one and MOUNTAINEERS in the other end zone. :D

I was able to get out to KBS to see what's going on tonight. I got this shot of the stadium. You can see the full scale of the temporary stands in the end zone with this. Notice that they stretch the entire length of the endzone and have an additional layer on the top this year. Secondly, you can't tell very well in this photo, but they are starting to paint the edges of both endzones with a darker color. I'm not sure if this is just something so they can easily pull the turf up or what, but thought it would be worth mentioning.

That is a stunning picture!

I think the new stands look much better than the previous ones as well.

This black around the end zones is the "crumb" rubber that has been sweep from the turf of the end zones.

This is awesome. The black was so much better. Really hoping for the old school APPALACHIAN/MOUNTAINEERS verbiage.

Black end zones, the temp bleachers and, cover the track with turf. That would be great IMO- until we can do more permanent stuff.

Nice pics all of you, love it. Boy those new bleachers just about take Owens out of the shot altogether.
