Stadium Updates

[OMT]

Just like the uniform updates, please let me know of any updates we need to do to the stadiums in the game.

We are aware of what is a generic stadium, but if you know of renovations that have happened in real life to that stadium in the last few years, let me know.

Here is what I have so far. Can I get this sticky?

Stadium updates
Illinois – Major renovations
NC State - Remove hedges along the walls; match the wall color to the dark grey used on north and south endzone walls; add stone tunnel entrance at the main tunnel
Cal – Remove 4 tarps around the stadium and put fans there.

The OU logo is backwards on of the jumbo trons....it says UO, instead of OU.

In regards to the bowl stadiums which maybe in your point about generic stadiums. ANYTHING dome related will be better than playing outside in the AlamoDome

Michigan has gigantic steel structures at the tops of the stadium now, but the renovation won't be complete until the summer of 2010, so I suppose there's no reason to deal with that.

You are going to at least put all authentic stadiums in the game for next year, right?

Renovations to Tulsa's Chapman stadium should be done this year.

To add to Arkansas' list. Not only will the bleachers in front of the building need to be removed, but the entire facade of that building was changed to glass two years ago. Ther's also a sign above that entrance that reads "Frank Broyles Field." I couldn't find a good picture, but found this YouTube video that shows the facade and the new sign.


Also, the banners that hang around the wall that separates the stands from the field will be changing since the athletic department is switching their website from hogwired.com to arkansasrazorbacks.com. Also heard we're getting the logo at midfield.

If I think of anything more, I'll let you know.

nc state actually has 2 more video screens in the corners above the endzone with the new fieldhouse...



see the two red squares (they have the logo on them in this picture), they are actually jumbotrons as well...ncsu is only one of few schools to have 3 jumbotron screens
