[HelmutVII]

Yes they are placing footing concrete now to the right if the camera. They should wreck forms tomorrow and start backfilling. They shpuld continue to work along the first base side.

Pouring concrete and stacking steel.

You sure about that?

I'm pretty sure I remember reading that a business had donated the money to build new dugouts. Maybe it's not part of the current Tigue project?

Confirmed. No dugouts in this round. Dugouts need to be moved back but that cannot be done with the current bleacher setup so new dugouts happen when the bleachers get replaced......anybody got an extra couple of mil hanging around?

Is it just me, are there is no one working today. Looks like no movement.

They are erecting steel to camera left. Can't tell if they are working to camera right although I suspect they are. Once the steel is placed in front of the camera the view will be even more obscured.

Is the first base side footing finish and waiting for Monday to pull forms and backfill to be ready to pour the slab by next weekend?s It will be time to relocate the camera.

The camera was turned somewhat to the left (3rd base) side. It's dark, but you can see the full clubhouse now and very little on the right side where they are still doing concrete work.

This is from Oct. 7. Projected "move-in" date looks to be at the end of April.

Frenchie I had the same issue when we were discussing the budget a few months back but I finally figured out what was going on. This is construction only and does not include Furnishing, Fixtures & Equipment (FF&E). While that still seems like a lot of money for FF&E it depends on exactly what got put in the FF&E budget. TV's, concessions equipment, and everything to outfit the suites and press box is part of that budget. However it could extend all the way to the actual stadium seats. Bottom line is that is the difference between the 12m I was being told and the 16m others were being told is the FF&E.
