Gragg can sit on a lawn chair and film from his phone, I doubt he has much to do all day anyway.......
I think he is around and would assume his contract was four years, which would be up in the summer. If NU signed him to a longer contract they are fools. Methinks sometime in the summer he quietly exists.
That is a precast concrete step riser. Typically made off-site and trucked in. Same as putting together a Lego set. At the end they will infill spaces with concrete and caulk the joints.
It's been about a month so here are a few pictures from today.

The steel is quickly being hung. I was out of town for a week and it feels like they doubled the size of the structure while I was gone. I stopped by Anderson Hall today and noticed how close the stadium will come to WRA (pic #1).

As always, thanks for sharing. The juxtaposition to WRA is the only negative I can see thus far. It totally eliminates the entrance view to WRA (such a classic look). No way around it though, and I’ll gladly take the view of our new state-of-the-art stadium. NU-SDSU in 2026 can’t come fast enough for me.
CSC, turning into quite the architect. With some license from the client and a budget, the architects could have turned the WRA entrance area into a "statement" but that wasn't the plan apparently. Wouldn't have been a full view of the entrance facade, of course, but might have been fun. No matter.
What would’ve been amazing is a glassed in connection between the two that preserves the WR facade and would open up to a new common entrance facade. That could possibly have maintained the upper concourse connection to the WR club lounge or whatever that was (I go to use it exactly once).
Smartest thing they did was to put half the structure underground, so it won't look like that.
If they think making it look like a spaceship landed on the ground, tell them that has already been done.
