Thanks to 49erfootballnow and anyone else for the pics. They are appreciated.
I live near the U and Iām probably more jacked up for this, as an engineer and football crazy fool so its a labor of love. Please make sure you all tell Rodgers Builders to get that damn webcam up!
Ill be on campus all summer so I keep snapping a few pics as summer moves alongā¦but clearly 49erfootballnow does a much better job than me lol
Wish my damn quote feature would work again. :
Anyway:

Charlotte 49ers on Facebook sez:
A webcam is set to be up the week of June 20. We will keep fans updated if that changes.
Three weeks too late. To be expected I suppose.

LOL, yeah I know. Well I am crazy enough to want to see that.
thanks for the picturesā¦
As everyone at the Groundbreaking Ceremony knows Irwin Belk is paying for another Richard Hallier statue for our football stadium (probably some for the offsetting female sports will get statues too). Most of his on campus statues look like college kids, but the baseball one is kind of different with its handlebar mustache making it look like a 1970ās 30 something baseball player and all. Wonder if our football player will get the 70ās football look too?

a badass norm down in a 3 point stance looking like heās going to rip someones head off, would be a cool statue too.
Easy photo op for opposing fans to make it look like heās taking it in the @$$. Canāt support this!!
Judging from Hallierās other statues Iām thinking it will either be a quarterback about to throw the ball or a reciever reaching up to grab the ball. My only question is will it have a handlebar mustache and fro?
Youād prefer dreads hanging down to his ass, just to make it look ācontemporaryā? :)) What ever they make him look like, in 10 years it will look ādatedā, but guess what, thatās the beauty of statues. They reflect ātraditionā, something a lot of us here vocally yearn for at this school, but the reality is you canāt establish tradition if itās constantly āconfrontedā or questioned by folks concerned or embarrassed by anything they consider āold schoolā, at best, or totally antiquated, at worst.
I have another spiel about ātraditionā in another thread that is along these same lines. But I do believe in change, but the reality is, too much change, and/or too fast change negates the concept of tradition. We canāt have it both ways.
I took these this afternoon with my phone. On the way out I had to put the car up on the curb and into the grass to make way for one of the largest construction vehicles I have ever seen!
Thanks to all you guys posting these pix! I drove by the school entrance on 29 last week TWICE, but did not have time to drop by.
Looks like they dug a trench through the upper field at the level of the lower field.
