FEBRUARY 23, 2009

What's tougher -- hitting a curveball or installing a drop ceiling at Elfstrom Stadium? Before this morning, I would have said "curveball" 10 times out of 10. Now, I'm not so sure.

In talking with Mark, who was busy placing the framework for the drop ceiling on the upper deck level, he reassured me that walking on stilts is just part of the job. The spring-activated advantage makes his job easier and can add up to four feet in height when installing ceilings and sound wiring. Imagine how much longer it would take if you were to use a ladder, constantly climbing up and down when moving from spot to spot! The stilts cut that time down substantially. To Mark and the rest of the construction crew at the ballpark, I'm tipping my (construction) hat to you.

Sliding glass windows are currently going in on the first base side of the upper deck level. The windows will provide that "open-air" feel for suite holders and I must say, are pretty cool. Check out the photos below. It also looks like the roof is nearing its final stages along the third base side, as workers continue to lay down long strips of green roofing pieces.
