They are mowing the NE hillside this morning and working on the area between the walkway and the sod on that hillside (same as what we can more easily see on the webcam for the NW hillside and has been questioned within this forum on previous posts). Interesting to point out that they are using a push mower (assuming it is also self propelled).
Would you want to be the sucker who puts a rider on that slope where it's a pretty good bet the sod isn't all deeply rooted?

Is this the 1st time the NE hillside is being mowed?

I love the Trice stripes at the foot of each locker (below the padded seat).

Flowered, to make them happy and friendly . . . .
Paint it up like a toddler room in a daycare center. Throw a couple exploded diapers up in the ceiling tiles for good measure, lol.

No idea what it is but they are working on the field.
I think they are putting down some sand like substance on the field. I'm not exactly sure what that does but I have seen other Athletic Fields have that done to them as well.

It appears that way but then at the north end they dump something into the tractor and go for a couple more passes.

They poured the pad at the top of the ramp. I imagine they'll pour the ramp tomorrow now. It looks like they waited because they just backed the truck right up the ramp.

Not sure if there is a definitive answer on this, but will there be the Jack Trice Stripe sculpture on the north end of the new entryway plaza? I hope so! I saw it on some renderings, but not others.

The path that runs from the SPC along the west side of the stadium was poured. The new path is where the trees used to be. Assuming the old walkway will be eliminated next year for practice field expansion but not sure.
