One of the trailers in the south end zone was also removed this morning...good thing, because I found them to be eyesores at this point.

I think this is the first time I've seen the jumbotron on

It looks like they are removing the temporary chainlink fence from around the northern perimeter today.

Here is a link to what is likely the last album I will post before the stadium opens:

Notes on the photos:

1) Unplanted trees near the facilities building. For landscaping near the stadium?

2) New handicapped parking spaces in the SEFCU parking lot, with new sidewalks.

3) A view towards the southern end zone, as viewed from the SEFCU parking lot.

4) Exterior light poles and fixtures to be installed.

5) The rear of the stadium, with light poles installed on the walkway.

6) Sodded area of the northwest corner.

7) Sodded area of the northeast corner.

8) On the eastern side of the stadium, looking between the berm and the (hopefully) temporary bleachers.

9) View from the eastern side, towards Indian quad.

10) View of the southern endzone from the eastern side.

11) View of the main grandstand from the southeast corner.

12) View of the grandstand through the supports of the scoreboard.

13) The back of the scoreboard.

14) View of the south of the grandstand, with the impressions left from the two recently removed trailers.

15) View of the ramp (steep!!!) from the southern side of the complex.

16) View of the temporary bleachers and the flagpoles.

17) A shot of the walkway on the eastern side.

 

FYI: I noticed about eight killdeer while walking (one had previously nested on the football turf), and the area was marshy in places.

Also of note is that the replacement stairs to the southwest entrance have not been started yet, but construction continues in that area (installation of lighting, and paving.)
