That's No Moon Posted July 15 Posted July 15 9 minutes ago, Mike in Horseheads said: I would hope the seats were purchased long b4 April of this year The contract was probably signed but tariffs are paid when the items actually enter the country. They certainly aren't just sitting around in storage somewhere waiting to be installed. If they were made overseas and haven't been delivered yet the tariff hasn't been paid yet. If it's a raw materials issue and they are made in the USA any supplier worth their salt will write clauses into the contract to cover such changes that are beyond their control. Quote

I wonder the age of the average poster on here because message boards started before social media took off. I always kind of look at is "what does he have to gain?" In this case, nothing. There's always serial liars though so who knows. Quote

SoCal Deek Posted July 16 Posted July 16 3 minutes ago, Doc Brown said: I'm sure the seats will be fine. Better than metal benches. No worries. My response is that believe it or not the seats are one of the least expensive elements of the new stadium. And the ‘tariff impacted’ cost of the actual plastic bucket is far less than the cost of the local labor to install them. Quote

GottaRun Posted July 16 Posted July 16 Any chance some of the parking for the new stadium lots will open up this year? Have they been paved & painted or are they a mess from the construction? Quote
Wacka Posted July 16 Posted July 16 Nope. The new parking is going to be where the current stadium is. They will loose a little more for the staging area for the demolition before all is done. Quote

SoCal Deek Posted July 17 Posted July 17 Just saw a fly around video of the perforated metal panels going up on the exterior facade. Looks like they’re making really good progress. They go up fast! Anybody got any photos they can share? 1 Quote
UConn James Posted July 17 Posted July 17 Short video of it on the BB FB page. Says there’s 22,000 of these panels. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19dog9Y7Mq/?mibextid=wwXIfr 1 Quote
