Been a while guys, but since the terrace level (the long curved vertical portions) has been started and there was some talk about it I thought I'd bike down and snap a few good pics. :9:

For reference, you can find the progression of my updates and all the pics on here (all the way back to the days when they were simply doing the corners and we had no idea what was going on):

Onward!


We take a ride up the ramps and see the stage where bands perform pregame...

We turn around to face the Dome :worthy: New banners and you get a glimpse of the new siding on the plaze level...

Now what we've all been waiting for, the work being done on the terrace level! (these are all taken from the conjoining bridge to the Arena)

Little farther around...

Good contrast between the new siding and the old greying siding... imagine what it'll look like when the vertical siding looks like that!

So there ya go. :9: That's insulation by the way in case it's hard to tell for some people... not the siding.
 
They hired Gary Gibbs to do the work. The dome will fall apart just like his coverages!
 
Freakin' A!! That is gonna be bad to the bone! Would be awesome if it were done in time for playoffs. Thank you so much PH!! GEAUX SAINTS!! Through Thick and Thin
 
Do you have a link to an artist's rendering of the final product? Searched around and couldn't find one.
