Disch-Falk renovation photos, part 4

I finally stopped by Disch-Falk late yesterday afternoon. It's been tough for me to get over there before dark over the past couple of weeks. And, then I'm rarely around campus on the weekends. But, I was driving back from Bastrop yesterday and realized that I could swing by and check out the progress. And...wow...there's been progress!

A shot from the lf corner back toward the stands:

Note that all of the lights are gone...even the ones attached to the roof.

A closer look at the lf corner:

It looks like they're gonna angle the new bleachers in and we're gonna lose some foul territory. Note the turf that's been pulled up along that edge. Hmmm...

Another closer look, this time at the stands:

Pretty much all of the orange paint is gone. And, it looks like they're going with green instead of burnt orange on the roof. That's a bit of a surprise to me. The underside of the roof wasn't painted before. I guess using a dark color will make it easier for the guys in the outfield to spot some fly balls, eh?

From just past the lf corner toward cf:

See the light poles? I dunno if they're the old ones that came down or the new ones that'll be going up.

A view from the parking lot west of the stadium:

It looks very very strange without any burnt orange, doesn't it? Wow.

And, finally, a closer view of the roof:

I guess it's more likely those are patches than "cleaned-up" sections on the roof.

Things seem to be coming along at a pretty brisk pace.
