Fielding the NEW Swamp

Just what people want to know. Maybe the information needs to be issued a little at a time. Keep the MOB happy.

Black with two sponsors in each end zone and UL logo's.

_ I could have sworn that was the reason for getting the turf, drainage would not be a problem. At least they have almost three months to get it right before the first game in LATE September. _

looks like about two cupfuls..doesn't look like a problem to me..

Yep, done. A little bit of clean up to do around the parking lot next to the Athletic offices. There, are a few rolls of padding left too. I guess they will pick it up some times this coming week. All the construction equipment is gone.

All of the hedges around the practice fields have been removed. The soil removed from the stadium field has been graded on one of the pratice fields and is nicely crowned. All they need is a good stand of grass and it will be fine.

I noticed the ground cover shaped like UL with the Flur des lis on the north slope has been severly cut back. I would suspect in an effort to produce new growth for the football season.

I would guess they may not want to start anything else at the stadium until after the DCI show on 7/16.

The severe cutting could go another 4 or 5 feet underground to retard
any growth before football season.

That would create a nice little sound deadening cubby hole to launch the traditional UL cannon from.

I gathered from a separate posting that clean-up of the stadium would commence shortly after the project is completed. So, is this project completed? Does anyone have any final pictures that they can post? The UL athletic website has 98 pictures posted, but they are not up to final completion of the project. Isn't there a marching band function going on at the stadium in the next week or so? If so, will they start cleaning the stadium before or after the event?

I can't answer your questions directly. I do know the 7 on 7 passing tournament held last week used the stadium field. Scott Farmer is supposed to be on with Jay on Thursday afternoon at 4. Maybe he can address the status of the stadium cleanup at that time.

In the spirit of the RCAF, we could start a "hedge" fund. Because I'm
defintely selling the looks of those shrubs short.
