Sorry, I went during lunch. There were a number of guys sitting on tailgates eating lunch, but I was just trying to show the actual stadium construction.

Thanks for taking the time to get the photos.

Based on the picks, there is NO WAY the stadium will be ready for the 2/11 home opener.

You could be right, but from my experience most of the time is always in the foundation. Looks like a few more seats to put in along with a roof, then all of the final touches. If they start getting after it "now", it's a long shot, but we might get lucky

No way they finish, they still have to construct the pressbox

What you see red is along the third base side. The first base side will be the same. The chair back will be in the center section and the box seats on the bottom. The red seats you see is like the Tigue third and first base stands. Bench seats with back rest..........

Got this earlier from Shivaun, The grandstand section shows where chair-backs are located versus bleacher seating like the "Tigue" has on the first and third base lines.

So what I appear to be reading in this thread is that I will not be able to sit in the box seats that I paid $1100.00 for and that I will either have to sit in the outfield for a portion of the season or bring my own lawn chair and put it in the place where my seats are supposed to be.

If I asked for a refund (or at least a discount) if the stadium is not ready for the start of the season, do you think that I stand a shot of getting a check sent to me?

Dang, the dugouts look more than halfway into the outfield. Has it always been like that?

I went by yesterday. I don't think there is anyway they are completed in time for the first game. However I do think they could be functional at that point. Meaning most will have usage of their seats. Press box, landscaping, finishing touches probably not.

Biggest issue will be the weather but it appears all foundation work is finished so any inclimate weather should not create long delays.

When I spoke with the contractor, he implied they will be through, and that all the upper decking is modular and would be in at end of December, I guess none of that as shown up yet. I also spoke to him about baseball's construction and it appears they will want to bid on that but heck, if they don't meet this deadline, they may not have a chance in heck for baseball.
Let's just hope DS Descant doesm't get anymore contracts.
