Future Campus Framework Discussion

[0.2 YNdeeR]

Anyone notice the steel recently erected at the (Northeast) corner of the Dome? Was on campus a few weeks ago - it looks like an extension of the Barnes center, but I don't see it in the PDF or the (interactive) campus map.

Edit: It was pictured in posts #201 and 203 ... had I read back a little further. Sorry guys.

Is this what you're referring to?

Yes. Thank you. I might have my cardinal points mixed up, but that's it. Miron Victory Court - nice!

Very interesting link. I was just going to ask if they're planning to cut into the Dome? But the link answers the question (Yes). Two new entrances to the Dome and expansion of the East concourses, awesome! Replacing the air-supported roof, i.e., not having air lock restrictions, opens up a host of possibilities.

PS - A related link (also by Ostrowksi, in August of '23) answers some questions about Wi-Fi. JMA's work was apparently done last year. The delay was attributed to carriers installing their own equipment.

There will also be direct access to the lower level between the two new restrooms on the eastern end of the lower level. Currently, they have tables set up there for mingling before and during games.

It’s not really a WiFi network that they are talking about. It’s a neutral host DAS (distributed antenna system). This is a solution that provides enhanced in-building coverage for carriers networks (LTE/5G).

JMA built the DAS but likely charged the carriers to plug into it. There is often times material cost to the carriers to connect to a neutral host DAS. I would assume negotiations are what delayed it coming online in time for the season.

The other option is for carriers to build out their own in-building solutions, which come at a cost. JMA being a player in this space, and owning the naming rights to the Dome, probably removed that option from the table.

I thought the plan was to do both? Improve the 5g type network which uses the cell phone system and improve the wifi network as well which would enhance the Edu roam or whatever they want to turn on in the Dome?

Saw that. Figured April Fools joke.

That's your new GIF everytime we get a commit.

Too bad that’s not true

Did somebody just walk across the brand new cement before it was dry?

So are they going to open Gate P up or keep it the same as it is?

gate p opens up to the troughs

It isn’t gate P by accident…..

It’ll be changed.

Shouldn’t the train be labeled the Express?

Haven’t read exactly what the upgrades involve. This video isn’t super clear on what they have done.

Looks like new dugouts, a new outdoor batting cage with a turf surface, and a new outfield fence. Also maybe a new fence in front of the new dugouts.

New platform for a TV camera behind CF?

They linger on the scoreboard, which doesn’t look very high end but perhaps is also new?

Overall nice upgrades.

will they cut into the wall and open that up? Otherwise it will just feel like a big event space outside the dome as opposed to expanding and opening up that end.

I thought maybe they bought a new turf spreader that handles a better load?
