PChamp119 96 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Hey y'all, I am wanting to build a scale model of Jordan - Hare, but I need dimensions of the stadium. I e-mailed the director of facilities at Auburn, but he never got back to me. Does anyone know where I can find any information? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streyeder 0 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Well...there's always a yardstick... Are the small replicas to scale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevy0082 0 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 That sounds like it would be a cool project. How big are you looking to build it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTim 3,534 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Is it JH East or JH W E S T ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PChamp119 96 Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 I contacted FOY and they gave me the Director of Facilities contact information. I was first thinking of legos, but I'm not sure. I am wanting to go to Hobbytown USA and see what they got to offer. I want to build approximetly 2ftx2ft - somewhere in that range. Might have to make it bigger depending on what I make it out of. Legos may require 3x3 or so - any ideas on what to make it out of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss 0 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 It's real simple (I'm an engineer). Find an aerial photograph of JH. Remember that the football field is 300 feet from goal line to goal line. Find the white lines on the photograph. Convert and extrapolate to come up with an appropriate scale. If you are smart enough to build a scale model, you are smart enough to understand what I just said (every bit of it is true). If not, go to Anders...they sell scaled models for $30-$40. Pass it off as yours...noone will know the difference. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugz 0 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Just a comment about Foy knowing everything. They can tell you how many bricks are in the Concourse but not how long the whole thing is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcau 0 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Foy used to know everything...now they are real slack. Even after graduation, I still have some friends that call there when they have questions that no one can answer. You could always attend camp war eagle this summer, those counselors seem to know everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How high the lower deck is compared to the upper deck. I was thinking of using some mathematics with shadows and angles, I'll do so if I'm desperate.

Maybe call up Housel and see if he can give you a personal tour or something. He's very approachable. (My friends just set up a meeting with him one day just to talk and he accepted.)

Erik81 0 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 I am in architecture (4th year) and a thesis studio made one last semester as part of a larger project. Go to the architecture (Dudley) library-they have blueprints in there of Jordan-Hare. All I do all day is make models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PChamp119 96 Posted February 5, 2005 Author Share Posted February 5, 2005 I got ahold of the college of architecture and they sent me to facilities. Architecture has floor plans, but that's it. Facilities had the actual blue prints, but the guy kept telling me how tough it is and that the blue prints are in like hundreds of different documents - dating back to the 1930's or so. Basically they don't have anything on the current stadium - so I'm assuming they just have whatever they added on as time progressed. I'd still look at them, but the guy said looking at the blue prints because they are stored away "is not like checking out a book." So maybe I'll just estimate my own dimensions. It doesn't need to be perfect. But thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
