If you check out the swamp scape cam after all the rain today...the field looks like the surface of the moon covered with a bunch of impact craters.

Several have mentioned July.

Looks like July 16th is the deadline and not football season.

Lots of limestone stockpiled in the parking lot next to the athletic office. All of the geotextile and drain pipe is gone (apparently installed). Looks like things have progressed well into placing the under drains and preparing for the limestone base.

Looks like they trenched tunnels and placed electrical conduits for the 40/25 second play clocks under the field instead of along the (ugly, black) retaining wall. I guess that is because of the concrete apron that will surround the perimeter. Hopefully, that will allow them to do something decent with concrete wall...such as a brick facade like the baseball field.

I hope you are right, I've been wanting that for years.
