Thanks for the pics ! I think handing the keys over to it by June is wishful thinking but would rather have it done right. Looks like the west side is being primed for painting.

This week on the Eastern MT Swing for Leon and the coaches they said July is now the anticipated date. Currently the concrete for the track is going in followed by the surfacing of that. They figure 3 weeks for all of those steps to be completed then the netting and interior finishing to follow. They did state that the roof delay because of weather has pushed everything back, which was assumed on here as well. Even so, it'll be ready for the teams as they begin summer workouts.

Good timing to hopefully be able to keep some folks out of the smoke this summer/fall.

And the heat. It usually doesn't get super-hot until July.

Logo time! Photo courtesy of MSU Toddler. Looks like the North side soffit and fascia is done and some additional concrete work too.

I'm glad that the logo is an actual sign and not just a wrap.

Versus the rendering.

The Bobcats logo looks like it’ll be lit up. There are five electrical wires hanging out around the top of it.

Like most things, it looks much better in person than in photos. The Cat head logo in photos in reality is smaller than the depiction, but when you see it in person it looks much bigger. Has me wondering of depictions are intentionally done that way. Kind of like seeing things from different angles.

The logo inside also pops when you see it in person. The Holland EZ is like that, too, at least it is for me. I always am slightly surprised at how big it looks in person vs TV/pics.

A lot of the inside photos have made building look small and had me trying to figure out where a track will fit. Then yesterday there is one with a man on the field. It puts the size in perspective.

I’ve written this before. If you put the indoor on the field in Bobcat stadium with one end starting starting up against the Sonny Holland endzone, it would extend halfway through the upper floor of the BAC with a width extending into the grandstands. The building would be slightly taller than the scoreboard.

It would be cool if someone with drone pics shot directly above the indoor and above the stadium could do a little photoshop work and put the indoor and stadium pics together to show what you're talking about.
