The placement of them seems too random and deep to be sprinklers. My guess is theyâre pipes they drove last fall looking for bedrock.
The webcam has finally arrived!!!
Gosh thatâs a pretty good camera.
LOL, click Time Lapse
Who knows how to make an animated .gif? We will need one of daily updates on the day itâs finished.
First person to set up a tailgate in one of the spaces on camera, and then post it here wins.
There are websites that will do it⌠did it once before. Just google it.

Haha also my thinking as to why it wouldnât be sprinklers.
Damn this webcam is fucking baller. I donât even feel like I need to go down there and see it anymore lol. I zoomed in and looked at everything I wanted.
Messing with those webcams gill linked has me spoiled tho. I keep wanting to turn this one haha. Nonetheless only thing that could really make the cam better is more refreshes.
Now we have two âstadium constructionâ webcams.
Looks like theyâve dug out right next to what remains of the parking lot.
Question for you âconstruction guysâ. How long will all this âgroundworkâ take. In other words, when can we expect to see the stadium itself start to rise from the ground? September, October, November⌠??? ?
They still havenât dug out the bowl yet. They lay sewer and water pipe first. Remember, weâre putting in the âinternalâ infrastructure for a 40,000 seat stadium. Iâd say till end of summer before construction of the football center begins in earnest.
Excellent observations - The main bones and innards of the stadium must support 40,000 people.
OT: Iâve been goink to the construction cam for some really nice sunrise and sunset pics - Godâs country is beautiful.

It runs from Feb '08 to Sept. '09. I tried to get a feel of the timeline by the changing seasons, but itâs pretty hard to tell. From the snow at 3:38, thatâs probably around Feb '09
âGroundworkâ tends to drag. Our groundwork will likely be different from theirs, though. For one thing, I doubt youâll see any pile driving equipment given our shallow bedrock. Which is a good thing, actually.
Once you see the framework rise from the ground, the speed seems to really pick up. Anyone who has ever driven past a construction site on a regular basis can vouch for that. Note the speed of Akronâs construction once it âstarts to rise out of the groundâ, especially when you think of all the s*** thatâs going on.
