March 2027? Given the current conditions it seems doable, but aggressive and with a lot of built-in assumptions. Or is the plan to be able play games with only the city's portion complete and limited seating? Assume there's no publicly available construction schedule?

I'm somewhat fascinated by the fact that this is being called a "renovation."
it's like how the west end was renovated.
Was there anything worth saving that wasn’t saved?
But think of the children!I found this aerial shot on facebook.

Crazy to see. Didn’t think it would really happen. So many memories here, I played football, participated and attended track events, watched thanksgiving high school games. It will be interesting to see how this will turn out.I found this aerial shot on facebook.

In terms of the politics, perhaps not surprising... but still, is this not absurdly late in the game? The City has already been hosting contractor fairs ... this thing is going to happen, folks, absent something completely shocking and unexpected.

It physically isn't possible to not do the renovation at this point, because most of the stadium is no longer there. When I biked by on Thursday, all that was left was about a third of the facade, propped up in much the way the old Filenes wall was propped up while awaiting Millennium Tower to happen. The orange highlight is all that remains of the original stadium. Is that what the NAACP wants to preserve?
