Wonder why they didn't do the Bathrooms with Garnet Roofs...heat or not..lacking color completely. Bit of a fail there. Outside of color it looks great.
I guess the color will come from the trees.

I was just looking at some drawings, and they show garnet roofs...I would imagine they will not stay that grayish color, which looks like its a neutral color ready for paint. don't quote me on that, but I would be very suprised if thats not just a primer color or something. The drawings also show those screens below the gamecocks as garnet, not gray. So I am assuming everything you see in the picture thats gray will be garnet.
edit: I was wrong, they will remain gray. However I think there are possibly some garnet gamecock weathervanes going on top of the buildings.

I'm sure this has been asked before but are they planning on replacing the University of South Carolina below the scoreboard with an updated version?

The Floyd building really needs to go, that is going to end up being a costly accomodation in the end, I think.

Looks fantastic. Really improving the look and feel of the entire game experience.
I can't wait for next year's update which will include both our SEC and NC Championships :D

You should be able to change the size using the zoom options on the bottom right corner of explorer.

Isn't going to happen as long as he is still alive donating money.

You can really get a feel on how cool the Gamecock Walk will be in that area from those pictures. They really are doing a first class job. Now all we need to do is remove the ugly ads from the ramps and the murals on the inside of the stadium. They went on the cheap on those things and they look horrible.

Once the " garnet" oaks mature I'm sure it will be very garnet over there. Plus, these are not eye level views so the roofs, should they stay grey, prolly won't seem so harsh

The trees will supply the color at the Farmers Market site.

All these facility upgrades & ginormous video board and there's complaining about the color of the roof on those two buildings? There really is no end to what people will find to nitpick about.
