When will we see something come up from the ground for either the stands or fieldhouse?

Not sure of the timing.  I know they are hoping for good weather so they can keep progressing.   Today they were back moving dirt.  I also noticed new survey markings on the ground for additional footers.

Drove by the field to see the progress in person. You start to see how the layout will be with respect to the drawing. It'll be a huge hit with the soccer and track communities.

Update 2/24/25 - Work progressing on Rough in on Plumbing and adding steps to the facility from the upper parking area.

Frank checking out the above grade progress this spring . . .

This looks like a top flight facility and I'm enjoying watching the progress. Great things are going to happen here when completed, on the pitch and on the track.

Exciting times in the City of Beautiful Homes. 

Update as of 3/5/25 - Rough in of Plumbing mostly completed.  Next is the block foundation to start this week.  Will be about two block high.  After that will be pouring the floor and then building assembly will start.  The steps for the upper parking area to the facility are complete.  This will help the workers that park there to get to the facility easier.

Rough-in of Plumbing - Also notice the wall in the back had the vertical I-Beams painted Gray.

Steps to the facility.

Foundation block delivered and work to start this week.

Update: 3/10/2025 - Foundation almost completed.  They are applying a Lime solution to the field to dry and help the leveling of the field and compact the dirt.  The walkway at the top of the right turn is in progress.

I like it. It has character, a lot of which goes out the window because character costs money.

Saw the field today. It’s a lot easier to get a true idea of how it’ll look in regards to the drawings. It’s going to be a real nice facility for everyone that uses it.
