Fans at Saturday's Oklahoma State spring game got to see an improved defense and an improved stadium. Renovations on Boone Pickens Stadium aren't complete, but construction progress now makes it easier to picture what the completed project will look like.

All of the cement is complete in the west end zone, but the seating is not yet installed except for the first seven rows or so. Fans were able to sit in those bottom rows for the spring game.

An OSU spokesman said the project remains on schedule for the seating to be complete for OSU's home opener this fall. The suites, offices, locker rooms and exterior are scheduled to be complete in time for OSU's 2009 season opener.
