When they get your money for the "premium seating" Andy Noel is going to say, "Nice doing business with you, chum.....p"

The photos are nice. I was having a hard time visualizing "remodeled  Lynah" from the descriptions posted here. Last time I was in Lynah was for the Red/White scrimmage in 1999. I do like the walkway that connects section A with section O. The tubas might like it too.

From the photos it looks like most of the inside work is done. I guess the big question is: "Will the remaining exterior work be at a point, in ~ 4 weeks, that the Fire Marshall and other safety czars feel that is safe enough to let 3800+ fans in the building?"

In an attempt to be a "Pollyanna", I am optimistic that somebody will have an extra ticket for the Hahvahd weekend for someone who hasn't been to Lynah in almost 7 years :-). I am also hoping that I find this ticket sooner rather than later so that I only have to pay an exorbitant airline fare and not an "extremely exorbitant" one  ;-).

From the looks of it and the captions, the new portions of the building are still not complete, including the locker rooms.

So the tunnel has steps?  How will that work in skates?  Isn't that just asking for disaster?  And hows Teets going to open the door for the team now?

While not convienent, you can walk up steps in skates without too much trouble.  I'd expect that a guy who's grown up in skates would have a lot less trouble with it than I ever did.

Now, the next triple overtime playoff game in Lynah may tell a different tale...

As long as the structural work is done, can't they make do with a few benches ;-)? Many of us did when we played Intramural or pick-up hockey at Lynah and had to get ready in the hallway by the men's and ladies room in the corner by section O. I'm sure the guys won't mind waiting a few weeks for carpeting if it means home games at Lynah rather than Elmira.

That can't be the final mesh that covers the west end gallery. I'm sure the photgrapher snapped the picture just as a workman passed in front of the camera carrying wire mesh reinforcing material for one of the concrete pours.

All thing considered I'm pretty happy with what I see. The rink still looks like Lynah all in all. The bridge is odd, but doesn't seem to fundamentally change the feel of the rink. I think the most jarring thing will probably be the lobby - a barn like Lynah doesn't need no stinking lobby!

Considering that students are inside for PE classes I'm annoyed that I ddin't try to go inside when I was on campus 10 days ago.

Agreed on all counts.  It's also nice to see that the ridiculous plastic butt-printed seats in C have been taken up.  I'm very hopeful that this allows more seats per row in that section, which in turn will mean Anne's and my seats will still exist to the left of the vomitorium.  Otherwise, we've hovering in mid-air.  ::uhoh::

Are they not done with premium seating yet, or does premium mean "a few boards piled on top of each other"?  And where on the new bridge is the premium seating supposed to fit?

Read my mind and beat me by ~5 minutes.

Could it be that the "plastic butt-printed seats" that were the "premium seating" in Section C will just be re-located? ;-)

Sorry to tell you but the plasitic butt seats are still there, but can any one tell what rows and seats are missing.
