Default Buck Shaw Stadium construction updates

Since the old thread has moved off the front page I'm starting a new shorter thread with the updates as of today 3/6 on Buck Shaw's transformation.

Looks like they're getting close over in the corner to finishing (Section 107). Also the practice field is down, done and sanded. It appears to be almost ready for use. Also since the last update the main field has been completely flattened and should be sod ready.



The practice field (Stanton Field). Note the sand laid over the artificial turf.



Close up of the Leavey end of the field. All flat and ready to go.



Wide angle on the entire stadium. They're getting close in the 107 corner. Also of note FUAEG appears to have been partially correct. The lower walkway will go through the entire old grand stand. (didn't get a good pic) But the good news for those in 107, it appears it's being build in a way that section 107 is going to be elevated above the walkway when they're done so it doesn't look like they'll be walking in front of you.
