The QBC Room looks great! Hopefully, the rest of the second floor is done also. We just peeked inside through the door on the Katy Street side during our walk…lots of work still left on the first floor. At least near that entrance and the weight room. Maybe the locker room on the other side is done since they moved lockers in a month or more ago.
Some of the lights are on at night and you can see into the second story rooms on the BAC cam. The entire upper floor rooms on the South side look to be finished, except for furniture. There were even some cleaning ladies in there the other night.

Last I heard is that the Sept. 13 meeting is at the Stadium Club. Maybe that will change, but that is what was sent out a week or so ago.

Anyone know what the "M" labeled cargo containers are for?

Those are the cabanas that used to sit between the block houses that you can rent as basically field level suites.

Yup, been in that area for years.

So is the Cat logo going to be up by kickoff!? Its getting down to the wire and that looks to be the last substantial piece missing from the field side.

Looks like they're setting up for the run-out now. Looks like the team will be coming out from under the scoreboard (I think I've read that somewhere on here too), I'm just hoping the rodeo team can still be a part of the run-out. I think it's one of the best team entrances in college football.

I wholeheartedly agree. The rodeo entrance is so perfect for MSU. Fingers crossed it stays!

That's what I've been waiting for to finish up this construction video project. I have a feeling the logo won't be up there in time since there is only two and a half days to go.

I wonder if there would be room for them to ride out from both corners of the endzone with the players running out from under the goal post. Less of a loop around the field and more two diagonal lines that meet around the 25 and ride to the opposite endzone and then back along the sideline.


Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!

There's a Coors sign outside the facility with a Cat logo on the right side. It looks like a lighted sign. Could be going where we expect the Cat head logo to go. A possibility anyway.

You might be right, but I'd imagine it wouldn't take a sign company more than a couple hours to put up a cat head. Obviously it might not be ready to put up yet, but they could get it up in plenty of time if it's ready to go.

I think that's a Coors Light booth, like a stand where you'd get a beer if you were in one of the cabanas.

Oh, I agree,.....if the sign was ready to go. The siding in the section has been done for months, the concrete and paving work is completed, and the roof looks to be done now. They are washing windows and doing all the game prep. If the sign was ready, I would think it would have been put up a while ago. No big deal if the sign isn't ready, but I hope it will be up in time. I'm really just excited the building is almost complete. I can't wait to tour the building in October. I've been monitoring this project for so long now that I almost feel like it's my own house.

Definitely! Our kids got one of the trophies back this year and lets see if our Dr. Cruzado can undo what her predecessor did and get the National College Rodeo Finals back home where it belongs!

I absolutely love that entrance!

I see an orange tarp on top of the building not far from where the Bobcat logo is rumored to be going. Perhaps it will be used as a veil?
