A look at the new Davis Wade Stadium north endzone a week before the 2014 season

Thanks to the MSU Bulldog Club, we've had over 1,000 photos to chronicle the progress of the new north endzone at Davis Wade Stadium from 2012 until this weekend. Let's take a look at things one week before the start of the 2014 season.

  • A look at the new Gridiron Club at field level in the north endzone. This is going to be great
  • The all-new Hail State Eats stations look ready to go. I can almost smell the nachos
  • The map of Mississippi in the entry plaza is done and looks great. Teach your kids geography before the game!
  • I love the banners. Look kids! We did beat LSU that one time!
  • The entryway into the new State Club Level. Ron Burgundy would be proud of all that wood
  • Another look from inside the State Club Level. If you have an extra ticket in here, give me a shout.
  • Each Loge seating area holds 4, 6 or 8 State fans and will feature its own TV and probably a direct line into Mullen's headset (UNCONFIRMED)
  • A look at where the even bigger ballers will be sitting in the new skyboxes. Very, very sharp look to these
  • Another look out onto the playing surface from the new State Level suites
  • What's a new skybox area without a swanky lounge? Well done
  • Now we move upstairs to the Scoreboard Club level area, which I almost bought tickets for and didn't and now I'm seriously kicking myself.
  • More from the Scoreboard Club. More regret for me.
  • The entry into the Scoreboard Club
  • Okay, so this may be the best seat in the house. This is the open air access provided to Scoreboard Club members. Awesome! Just imagine watching MSU-Auburn in a tight game late from here. Doesn't get any better
  • Here's a look at one of two new field-level suites. I had no clue these were even in the plans
  • New field level suites, Gridiron Club, and on up. Man, has this endzone changed.
  • Isn't she beautiful? Thank you Scott and company for making this happen

We're just under two hours and seven days now from the start of the 2014 Mississippi State football season, and the construction efforts at Davis Wade seem to be rounding into form. AD Scott Stricklin as well as dozens of other school officials and lucky fans have tweeted and shared tons of pictures over the last week that seem to indicate that the final touches are being put on what will undoubtedly be a gamechanging addition to Davis Wade Stadium come August 30th. I think we also need to tip our cap to the MSU Bulldog Club for their efforts in sharing photos of the construction throughout the process: from start to finish. It's really cool to go back to the beginning of their archives and see how far the stadium -- and more specifially, the north endzone -- has come over the course of two seasons. We're hours away from being inside of one week of realizing and experiencing the new Davis Wade, and this set of pictures should only get you more excited.

Hail State

BONUS: This shot provided by Scott of the new lighted northwest entrance gate was too great not to share. Very nice!
