For the second time the live feed I've bookmarked say it is no longer available. Last time I was able to find a replacement link but not this time. Anyone got a working link to the construction feed?

It looks to be offline. It doesn't appear on the Louisiana Tech Athletic - Youtube page.
New link. I think they stop the feeds on weekends.

Pouring grandstand concrete with a boom truck, hanging steel, moving equipment mats & loaded trains passing. Big day at the baseball field.
Looks like Baseball and Softball is going with FieldTurf (from the below tweet) and not the previous company GeoSurfaces. Hope they keep the alternating lawn stripe look.LATECH Baseball & Softball will Compete on FieldTurf in 2021

“Throughout the process of selecting who would provide our surface, we felt confident that @FieldTurf
would deliver a state-of-the-art product. This is just one aspect that makes this complex the premier one in @ConferenceUSA.” @mariawinn @LATechSB

"After careful consideration, officials decided the NEW FieldTurf DoublePlay and TripleThreat Series would be the ideal choice for J.C. Love Field at Pat Patterson Park (Baseball) and Lady Techster Softball Complex (Softball)."
"FieldTurf’s NEW DoublePlay Series is gaining rapid popularity amongst collegiate baseball programs showcased by installations at the University of Tennessee, Rutgers University and recently the University of Southern Mississippi. FieldTurf has long been a trusted name is baseball with installations at Oregon State, Oregon, Texas, Texas Tech, Washington and over 1000 more."

Pretty sure we were dealing with Field Turf pre our current AD. They replaced the first football surface that was faulty. After taking care of us on that, they never even got to bid on the third Football surface or the baseball and softball surfaces.
The recent football field is FieldTurf (FieldTurf Revolution) part of the DAC opening.

Construction related, Harper Hall coming down.
Are they gonna blow it?
Most likely not. I imagine they will take it down with demolition excavators or high reach arms like they did with Caruthers/Neilson.
According to this demo company's website, "Implosion is used in less than 1% of demolition projects".
