The new Stanford Stadium is almost complete. The opening game is scheduled for September 16 when Stanford faces navy at 7 PM. It is amazing that they could tear down the old stadium (80 years old) and build an entirely new one in just a few short months. Trucks and equipment were waiting beside the stadium before the last game on November 26, 2005, ready to start work immediately after the game was over. It has been nonstop ever since, with construction continuing 6 days a week in two, 8-shifts per day. As of this writing, the landscaping is not complete, but the stadium, what I have seen of it, looks great. Fans will be closer to the playing field and the environment and the dynamic will be different from before.
