The big supporting arch started going up today on the west side roof. No pics yet, but looked like about 1/3rd of it was up today when I walked by.

But where will they put the Alpine Way when they put it back?

So the endzones for football will be part grass part turf (previously they were going to be 100% fake) and each endzone is going to be 3 yards short of "regulation" length.
Not a grid iron football fan so I don't know how much that slight lack of endzone depth will impact the game and the experience for the fans of the sport.

In photo 13, is that the material that's going stretch throughout the entire roof. Would of loved something white and not simple metal, looks little cheap for my liking

I'm pretty sure the roof will have translucent ETFE panels. You can see them on the new 3D seat viewer on the TFC site.

Roof looks fantastic. Anyone else bothered by how asymmetrical the east and west stands are though? Really makes for a strange look.

was the same last year....I am sure it was accidental but it (for me) harkens back to my youth going to british football grounds where there were 4 separate and distinct "stands" and each one (typically) was a different size....so, I like it....but I get what your saying.
