Week Of February 9, 2009

FEBRUARY 9, 2009

A mild warm-up has engulfed Elfstrom Stadium and all I can say is...it's about time! With temperatures in the 50's, construction crews have certainly enjoyed the welcome change in temperature and watching the snow helplessly melt away from the ballpark, including the new roof. As pitchers and catchers report for spring training in a matter of days, Cougars baseball seems closer than ever since the final out was recorded at Elfstrom Stadium last September.

This morning, interior work continued on the luxury suite level as air units and fans were moved by a crane to the upper level. Similar to last fall during the installation of glass windows for the atrium/lobby area, using the crane requires the coordination and communication of the crane operator, workers at ground level, and additional workers up above who receive and install the equipment.

Elsewhere around the ballpark, new tiling was recently installed in the luxury suite level bathrooms. Drywall has been placed into the atrium/lobby area, which connects the new administrative building to the ballpark.

Enjoy this week's photo gallery -- officially our 20th construction update since last fall! Next week, we'll plan on taking photos outside of Elfstrom Stadium from various spots within a quarter-mile of the ballpark. Many fans have told us how great the stadium looks from the intersection of Rt. 38 and Kirk Road. We'll take the camera there next week for you.
