I want a finished baseball stadium
I wish I had pictures of the old plexiglass dividers...
the ones with large holes in them from foul balls.

Capt. Dan - no disrespect, but as a fellow construction manager, it is not looking good for the park to be done. I know that you can cover a lot of ground (especially working shifts), but this weather is not gonna help you out. Hard to get masonry production in the cold and wet. Good luck.
NOOOOOO. I want a finished park too!

There WILL be baseball Feb. 17th. at Bluebell Park.

Will there be fans inside the ballpark?
fans could make it kind of chilly that time of year...i say we use space heaters instead...or you know, just suck it up.
i will be there feb 17 with or without a bleacher to beat my ring on.

Fans might make it more tolerable in the summer, though.
Well, I'm not a construction guy, but I fully expect the stadium and field to be fully functional by February 17, though not "done".
It will be similar to the death star in Return of the Jedi. At first appearance, it will look incomplete, non-functioning. Then, the game will start and you will say "that thing's operational!"

Looks awesome!
The main question should be if they are going to flip the third switch on opening day?
Not the 3rd switch!
I keep envisioning the opening to the 6 million dollar man....
We can rebuild it....

FEBRUARY NEEDS TO HURRY THE HELL UP!!!!
THE TREE IS GONE???!!!
I wanted them to keep it.

The exterior looks pretty bad ass black like that!
Many new trees coming.
But I liked the one on top of the building. Keeping it up there would be just so ridiculous and cool. Everyone would ask, "Why is there a tree on the top of your stadium?" And we would just shrug and say, "It's always been there."

Oh. then we are done.
Looked like the crane to put up the light poles arrived this afternoon.

I think you're forgetting lights and seats!
Tar paper definitely under-appreciated as an exterior look.
can we get some more updated pics please?

Too bad neither Lockheed Martin
nor Northrop Grumman
were the primary donors for the renovations.
I've been in DeQuincy, LA these past two days and my dad and I are driving back right now. I have a Red Cross first aid/cpr class tomorrow so I don't know if I'll be able to go by while the sun is out. My guess is they have been doing more interior work. On the outside they are bricking the 3rd base side which you can view on the Olsen Cam on aggieathletics baseball page. They have probably done more work on the outside walls of the suites/press box.
Capt Dan do you think you could send me the Skanska weekly update that has interior pictures?
If someone goes by tomorrow for the mens basketball game take some pictures. On the first page there are websites posted that you can use to upload the pictures.

the real question is why would you go to the mens basketball game?
Why would you give a thumbs down to the prospect of someone attending the men's basketball game?
Hmmm let me think, maybe because the men's team sucks this year. I would rather watch the Olsen construction cam than watch that. Btho Illinois Chicago!
Who cares what you'd rather do? Why thumbs down somebody else's decision to support the basketball team during a rough season?

That's actually a water proofing material applied like a thick paint.
