Nice! And it's already changed a lot. They're putting up steel today on the indoor batting/hitting facility. Won't be long and they'll be finished with the big crane.

Looking at the bird's eye, we need wider side walks and corners around our athletic venue. Also with the white lot built, we need a designated walk way and maybe some caution lights.

This for sure. Just like at the student crossings on campus.

They're hanging the roof purlins on the hitting/pitching building today.

There's been some concern about the seating capacity on the stadium. One thing that can be done if we need to expand is to put seating beyond the left field fence. The road that runs beside the student housing beyond left field ends at a stairway. There's plenty of room to add a significant amount of seating by replacing the road with a sidewalk.

That is Hogdawg's future beer garden/party deck area.

That road behind leftfield cant be removed. That is a fire lane for the dorms.

Ooops! That might be important.

There still might be room for seating, if it doesn't impact the fire lane. but clearly not as much as I'd thought.

We could get more real-estate if we tear down some of those dorms. :D

I wasn't able to get a picture but they are starting to get ready to brick the large retaining wall. Cinder blacks were being placed at the bottom and pallets of red brick are sitting out ready to go.

Didn't know it would be bricked. That ought to look good.

They started bricking part of the softball grandstand today too.

Putting the roof decking on the baseball admin building today.
