Steel
Work Continues: Crews
continue with the second pass of steel. Steel and concrete risers seem to
completely circle the entire job site. Along the northeast portion of the
ball park, workers are erecting steel to support upper level seating.
Massive tarps and blankets are now hanging over areas along the northern
portion of the third baseline. Underneath the blankets, blowers are
constantly emitting hot air to help cure concrete, and to continue to heat
the steel to 50 degrees. |

Interior
Work Underway:
Some service areas of the ball park are clearly beginning to take shape.
Crews are finishing up mock-ups of what will eventually form some of the
suites. These mock-ups
consist of actual finishes of what will be the prototypical suite. |
