Week Of December 1, 2008

DECEMBER 1, 2008

Like a flip of the switch, the start of December has brought the white stuff and some serious coldness to Geneva. Here at the ballpark, I took a walk around this morning and was curious to see what was new. For one, there were what seemed to be deer tracks on the path between the first base lawn and right field deck. Perhaps some local wildlife were curious to get a sneak peek at how different Elfstrom Stadium looks these days.

For the record, there are less than 130 days until the start of baseball again. That first pitch of the 2009 season sure seemed like a long time away when I was standing in the visitor's dugout this morning, thanks to a balmy temperature reading of 25 degrees. For the last couple of weeks, the construction crew has been insulated from the nastier conditions, thanks to a temporary barrier that extends along the concourse.

The covered concourse now extends to the third base side with the installation of some large-frame steel. Carpeting and tile have been added to the administrative offices. From the concourse area behind the press box, I walked through the new entrance that will connect the concourse to the atrium area.
