Disch-Falk renovation photos, part 3

It's been a couple of weeks. 'Been too busy to play here. Sorry about that. But, I'm back. And, I've got photos. I stopped by Friday after work to see how things are going. There are very clear signs of progress.

First, more signage:

I rather like the Flintco logo on that first sign.

A shot from the lf corner:

Please note: The wall at the top of the grandstand and the top row of seats have been removed...along with the building that used to house the batting cages along the lf line. Also, see that chain-link fence? The team actually does seem to be practicing on the field. They don't have much foul territory but they're using the field. I'm very curious about whether or not construction halts during practice. 'Seems like it might be kinda dangerous for the construction workers with respect to foul balls if they don't stop working. Things that make you go hmmmm...

A couple of close-ups of how things are looking at the top of the grandstand:

Look closely and you'll see that they've started taking the second row of seats (from the top) out. It looks like they may be planning on taking at least one more out. I guess we will see.

A view of what things look like around the outside of the stadium:

Note they're working on demolishing the bathrooms. Undoubtedly, that is good news!

The view from near the lf corner toward the rf corner:

The bleachers are gone! And, the sky was awfully pretty. Heh.

And, finally...just being artsy:

You can see where they burned through the old welds. And, that's apparently part of Row 29. Was Row 29 the top? Or was it Row 30? I don't remember. My seats are in Row 22 and I can't visualize how far it is to the top at all.

Ah well...that's it for now.
