STADIUM: Construction Updates

[UA_MA_2000]

The Office of Facilities Management finally put up a new progress report on May 1, with a few new pictures from that time.

 

"The Multi-Purpose facility continues to move towards a September compoletion date with the main press structure exterior metal panel system in place, interior partitions underway, erection of the Concourse Level walls where spectator support facilities will be located, ... Additional site work around the facility will begin once the construction field offices relocates closer to the soon-to-be renovated Track & Field venue.

 

The Recreation Field Turf is available for University use. The sports lighting system at that location is undergoing final wiring and testing in the next few weeks.

 

The renovations to the Track & Field venue ... includes a new nine-lane track surface, reconditioning of the natural turf infield for field events, and a installation of a hammer throw facility south of the existing softball field.

 

The last set of pictures added include a view from Stuyvesant (Dutch) tower http://www.albany.ed...eticfields.html

and from Press Level

 

According to Facilities Management the new track will be available for recreational use when teams aren't using it. That's great news for the runners among us!!

They seem to be concentrating on the visitor bleachers. Is that concrete? Any guesses on the final outcome?

The big mystery. It looks like they poured footers for something - could be for the fence or for the bleachers themselves.

 

My guess is something that looks like this, whcih is 2500 seats.

It also looks like they have started work on the scoreboard in the South endzone. That will be awesome to watch go up.

Openings - I suspect that those will be windows that can be opened by the people in those suites and they'll go in last and be mounted from the inside. That a pure guess though.

 

The rest of the windows cannot be opened.

Awning style windows will go in those locations.

Are the flagpoles going to be above the players' entrance ramp? Looks like some forms are there, though they could also be for some kind of gate, or the Great Dane statues

 

I saw today that some of the handrails have been installed in the lower level
