Could be, although that's been there quite a while. I've been wondering what that's for--not like this crew to leave something lying around for no reason. Maybe the foreman is watching the building progress from somewhere other than the webcam we're watching.

Is this the same tarp? I can't tell colors very well. If it is the same tarp, then it's been sitting up there since July.kennethnoisewater wrote: ↑Wed Sep 08, 2021 2:03 pmCould be, although that's been there quite a while.

Re: Bobcat Athletic Complex...Construction
I couldn't say if it's the same tarp as you show above but in a picture you posted on Aug 31 when they put up the poles for the net behind goal post there is an orange tarp on the roof in the same spot as it is today. I highly doubt it has anything to do with the anticipated cat logo sign.

Oh well. It would be an ugly veil anyway.

Unfortunately, the camera has been moved once again so we'll never know.

Maybe they are doing something that's going to be a surprise?

I'm not saying that's what they're doing, because I have no idea. But I'd be messing with us if I were them

I believe that red tarp on the roof is actually the obligatory oil soaked rag left behind at construction sites that will eventually combust and burn the whole place down!

Stopped by tonight and most all of the construction equipment and job trailers are gone.
Quite a few windows taped over for interior work though

That empty spot really needs a cat head, or giant M at a minimum, to give the field-facing side some character.
Looking forward to seeing it in person on Saturday!

Re: Bobcat Athletic Complex...Construction
My recollection is that a new board is in the works. I believe that a deal was being negotiated with Learfield to assume much of the cost, but Covid and the construction of the BAC delayed any improvements until next season. Can someone with more accurate info comment? I am just going off of memory.

Re: Bobcat Athletic Complex...Construction
I was going to post my final BAC construction video (283 construction days) tomorrow. The camera is being shut off tomorrow afternoon.
Anyway, I'm going to hold off posting the video until I can get a shot of the building with the Bobcat emblem installed. I wish I knew when that was going to happen. I just can't in good conscience consider the construction complete without that emblem.

Just walked by and they have a crane out installing a sign over the ticket office. They also put a Bozeman Deaconess sign up on the upper corner facing the field. This gives me hope they have the Bobcat Logo with them and will be putting it up tonight!

Who needs a Bobcat logo when you've got a corporate sponsor sign?
