Official Stadium Construction Thread šŸŸ

Thanks for sharing. Interesting. I think our cam is awesome. It has a perfect perspective, great resolution, and the time lapse feature looks like it will be state-of-the-art. I’m mesmerized and can’t wait til there’s more to watch. What is the rate or pace of shots taken per minute/hour/day for the time lapse?

Yes, the pace picks up significantly once the ground work is done. Plus, weather here will be more conducive to construction than that in Akron. Any plans to sell bricks with names and such on the walk like are outside the SAC?

I hope so! Seeing my brick at Halton is always fun.

The camera typically takes 1 shot every 10 minutes, although at points it has varied.

However, I believe the time lapse will only be 1 pic per day.

So, I just had to click on ā€œTA Lovingā€ in the upper-left of that site :stuck_out_tongue: and it sent me to http://www.newkenan.com/ which is a pretty cool site on what’s going on with the construction, videos, opportunities to make pledges, renderings, etc… compared to the near media blackout we have on our stadium. Would be nice if they built out charlotte49erfootball.com to include this sort of information. Heck, there isn’t even a link to the webcam from our site.

I prefer watching their time lapse photos in reverse

There is on charlotte49ers.com though. Are they even maintaining the 49erfootball.com website?

Kenan stadium on game day - Smurf Turd

Looks like they’re already starting to dig out some of the bowl near the fieldhouse location!!

i noticed this too :slight_smile:

It’s hard to believe at times that this is really happening. At other times, it’s very real for me. Having seen our school and the surrounding area evolve since the early '70s, this is an awesome time to be a NINER, and getting to literally watch our football stadium and program rise out of the ground is like icing on a big green cake for me. ;D

Not sure I get how this will work…

Field level will be some twenty feet below ground level, correct?

How much further will they have to dig, and will the level of the parking lot be brought down to match the level at entry, or will they replace the dirt that they’ve already dug out around the parking lot?

My understanding is that the top of the bowl seating will be at the new level of the current field. I’d imagine that they’ll either gently slope the land from the EPIC side parking lot toward the stadium or put in stairs. Earlier displays showed the bowl bottom being 15 feet below the top of the bowl.

The playing surface will be 25 feet below the concourse. (Source: At time 10:18 of 2/9/11 Charlotte football town hall meeting, UNC Charlotte Football Town Hall Meeting - 2/9/2011 - Full Version)

That should make for better viewing.

Well,I didn’t set up a tailgate or anything but I swung by and had my picture taken this weekend. Check Saturday at 1:00 and see if you can find me.

As a refresher, I have collected most of the renderings that have come out and put them in one place for everyone’s reference. This way we can check in time to time to get bearings on the site.
