Default Illinois Memorial Stadium Replica

These got pulled from the other site, but here are some pictures of my replica of the Illini's Memorial Stadium. I was worried that the top rails may interfere with set up and game play, but in reality they are a pretty good arm rest for my son and I, and prevent too much bumping of the board.

I did some playing with my camera and photo software, so I managed to get side by sides of my replica compared to the real thing.

The scoreboard uses painted wood tiles to update the score and quarter, kind of like the old style used at places like Fenway.

Default I love the Hard Work

I can really appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail. Keep doing what you do.

I went to Champaign and snuck in the stadium Kinda did a "Rudy". I looked around the stadium and there's no doubt, you got the backdrop right. I love it fellow stadium builder. Keep that realism in your game.

Thumbs up Stadiums RULE!

Thanks for sharing these photos. Your stadium looks great!!!

I know it must be very satisfying to play in something you made with your own hands. As RR and others have put so well, Stadiums really bring an added dimension to the electric football experience. I have been inspired...

Thanks Again. Steven M.

That stadium looks nice... very nice work. But tell why this was pulled from the other site? Your stadium has a new Miggle 620 sitting in the middle of it?
