Memorial Stadium's new look a hit - with one small exception

The plywood walls inside the elevator in Memorial Stadium's Great West Hall sported a countdown to this season's first home game day scribbled above the sliding door – the final number crossed out with an "X".

Someone had written "Git her done" on an adjacent wall – a scrawled reminder of the $120.9 million renovation project.

As the elevator moved between floors Saturday – hauling boxed lunches, beef tips, and fans – dozens of visitors roamed the new hallways of the west side, soaking in the sights.
