Just a note - I didn't take those - they came from a forummer at Urban Toronto named G.L.17
best thread ever.
these are always appreciated. Thanks Lads.

This thing is gonna look HUGE! Bit of a shame about losing the view of downtown, though.
Did the USA , of all countries, just fix soccer? - C. Ronaldo, May 27th commenting on the FBI-led investigations into fraud and corruption throughout FIFA.
Every time I see these pictures I just keep thinking about how nice it will be a year later with a roof on top.
When were these taken?
Can the original poster update their post with new additions?
I'm happy not having to scroll through 10 pages of jabber. was thinking of making one of these yesterday.
A conspicuous lack of branding by whoever the contractor is... can anyone confirm if it's PCL as was widely suspected?
It is.Originally Posted by WestStandGeoff
None of the second section concrete was up on Friday when I drove by, so this is pretty recent. Maybe earlier today? They must working through the weekends.
In order to get this done on time they probably are working weekends. I know theyre working past sunset on weeknights as well. Seen them still working with stadium lights on past sunset.
once the roof goes in you're going to reallllly notice the stadium from the gardiner.
Yeah, I had a run there on Wednesday and the lights were all on.
My set of 3 were from minutes before I posted today. As hot and fresh as it can be in minus 20 weather.
i have a friend thats working for the concrete guys they are running 24 hour crew shifts just so that they can be finished in time for the opener

Good to hear. Sounds like MLSE is willing to pay the overtime to get it done on time.
At thf they didnt work through the nights because its in a resedential area and residents complained. I doubt infrastructure ontario was going to shell out the overtime anyways.

Yup, can also confirm they're working 24 hours a day, except Sundays.
Wow, awful weather to be working especially 24x6 -- we've been way below the daily average temperatures for a while now.
Since I paid little attention to the earlier thread with the phase plans of the renovation, I assume the west side is being raised as well? It's totally being dwarfed by the east stand going by these pics.
Nope. The west side will remain untouched and thus the east will be taller. The stadium won't be symmetrical at either end with the south being entirely different than the north as well. Once the roof is up, I doubt you'll notice much.
Any chance we can keep this thread to only pictures and move the discussion over to the other thread? Can a mod move all non pic posts to the other thread?
I don't see the harm in discussing the actual construction progress in here - I agree keep the Argos and other stuff in the other thread
Fresh from last night around 9pm - I saw a good few workers still on site
A mod just started this "pics only" thread yesterday. If you guys want only pics - don't post the "jabber"
As far as I'm concerned the people have spoken. I'll do my part not to contribute to the jabber past this info post.
Good Luck!

If the original poster can update fresh pics at the top. I see no reason to not discuss the actual construction in this thread. The last one was hijacked with argos talk unrelated to the construction.
Does anyone think the renders look odd with the south end roof being much higher? I think a second stand above the south end would be needed to fill it out.
CONSTRUCTION QUESTION: Is the uppper concourse for the south end in the plans for this season...?
If so, it doesn't even look like it's been started - not that I know ANYTHING about construction at all...
Carts...
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
The South construction is Phase 2 or 3. Not this season.

It is supposed to be done in this phase

The concourse is part of Phase 1. They demolished the south west steps.
I asked this question in the old thread. Ivy indicated the work on the south concourse would start soon.
Correct
Something that shocked me. Phase 1 includes the new scoreboard/TV. I guess thats a last minute installation though.
Also, just realized this. Another 10,000 seats is great and all but the GO underpass to Liberty is going to be HELL! Has the club or city ever discussed a relief tunnel or bridge?
