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

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.
