Never say never

No tip needed for the beer holder.

Thanks for scouting out the progress. Looks like they are building concrete forms. Are they adding leg room to compensate for the deeper seats, taking out a row? Glad to see the progress but hard to understand exactly the point of the forms from that photo.

The distance from the railing in the back to the front wall will not change, however, there will be fewer rows. So, they have to rework the concrete tiers for each row of seats. So, the do it one of two ways, tear out the old concrete and redo it, or pour the new tiers over the old ones. How many rows were they removing?

It appears on these rows, they are extending the depth of the rows by eliminating leg room on first row (wide area at bottom become leg room for that first row). At some point, they will have to remove some rows depending on how many "new" rows there are. My area of expertise.

I will probably end up selling my seat backs that I bought a few years ago.

I mean the actual seat backs I carried into the liberty bowl that attached to the bench. No use for them now that I have built-in seat backs.

If I could sit through porter games, I can sit through any game.

I've never cared for the portable seat backs.

Hell, I mostly only sit during the half anyway.
