I didn't really look at the details of the building, but it looks like the enclosed wall extends all the way to the far corner. I wish I would have looked at the East side. I was in a hurry to get up to Helena and just stopped off in Bozeman to take some quick pics.Joe Bobcat wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2024 11:11 amIs that side wall the only one that is up and is it up all the way to the far corner?
They're definitely going to need some help from the weather to get that enclosed before winter.
I'm looking forward to seeing it at the game this weekend.

If you go the ‘Random Stuff’ subject line there is a video of the stadium providing some views of the indoor facility.Joe Bobcat wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2024 7:50 pmIt's all good and I appreciate any picture and comment that you and others provide on the progress.AFCAT wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2024 7:35 pmI didn't really look at the details of the building, but it looks like the enclosed wall extends all the way to the far corner.

Re: Indoor facility
Yeah I had watched that video but thanks to you I went back and watched it again with an eye toward seeing the indoor from other angles. A couple of times you can see that when the video was shot the east wall siding was not up.RICO CAT wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2024 8:58 pmIf you go the ‘Random Stuff’ subject line there is a video of the stadium providing some views of the indoor facility.Joe Bobcat wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2024 7:50 pmIt's all good and I appreciate any picture and comment that you and others provide on the progress.AFCAT wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2024 7:35 pmI didn't really look at the details of the building, but it looks like the enclosed wall extends all the way to the far corner.

Those egrizzies are going to be some disappointed we have solid walls. They were so hopeful it would be just canvas like a wall tent.

Re: Indoor facility
This is a screen grab from that video the Cats posted yesterday. I'm just amazed at the absolute size of this thing. If the end of the indoor was sitting on the first row of seats in the Sonny Holland endzone, the other end would be halfway through the upper floors of the BAC. The width would obviously cover the entire football field and well into the stands. Just crazy to think about. I can't wait to see the building completed.

MSU has been using the dome over by the tennis courts this week. Maybe someone already posted that.
MSU - 16 team National Champions (most recent 2024); 57 individual National Champions (most recent 2023).

Re: Indoor facility
Is there still snow on the ground in Bozeman, or has it all melted off?
Eric Curry STILL makes me sad.

Re: Indoor facility
Looks like most has melted. I use the KBZK Bozeman Weather Cam to check current weather conditions for ‘Bozeman Stadium’ and the airport. Should be in the low to mid 50’s for the game.

Re: Indoor facility
Huh? I don’t understand what this means. Comparison to what? What was photoshopped?

Re: Indoor facility
If you want to get an idea of how big the facility will be inside I think South Dakota State is the better comparison, since they've got the same setup MSU is building with the 300-meter track around a 100-yard field.

Re: Indoor facility
To me the only thing this has that MSU doesn't is a 100 yard field. It doesn't appear to be any taller, nor does it have much for track, maybe track has their own facility.
