Must be putting in a little OT prep for next weeks sodding, ramps pour and sidewalk pourr in front of the Jake!:)
That’s what I was thinking. There are still two guys running all over the place with buckets of topsoil, and another grading right in front of the Jake.

We may just see all that brown ground turn green next week!

I’m gonna make a WAG that we have a better idea of what the “Family Plaza” is going to look like now. View attachment 85962
I checked at 5:28 PM on a Saturday, and they were still going. I think they just knocked off at 5:30. That suggests to me everything they were working on needed to be ready to go for something to be done first thing on Monday.

Might also suggest it was just a good day to smooth out dirt?

The entire west side from the practice fields to the old stadium fenceline will look totally different as well with all of the trees gone and parking going in.

They are getting ready to pour the west concourse today. They have two bucket wagons and put up plastic to protect the retaining walls/cover the fresh concrete (and did some of final grading/rolling of the gravel).

Oh, PLEASE pan over to show both hillsides today.... Today is going to be a visually transformational one with the green sod going in.
I sent an e-mail, but no guarantee someone will read it before they’re done.

Also, just remembering that the irrigation still needs to go in everywhere else before they sod it. I seem to recall they started trenching the East hillside after they got the concourse walkway poured.
