Disch-Falk renovation photos, part 12

I made it over to Disch-Falk Field on Sunday and took some photos. Herewith...

They've started demolishing the dugouts. Here's the 1b dugout:

And, the 3b dugout (sorry I couldn't get a better angle):

You can see that they've removed the netting behind the plate in the above photo.

They've removed the temporary press box:

[No more press box]

They're working away down the right field line:

A shot of the outside of the stadium taken from the parking lot west of the stadium:

And, another outside shot...this one of the southwest corner of the stadium:

Here's how things look on the south side of the stadium:

And, a shot from near the rf corner:

Note the rolled pieces of turf near the chain-link fence to the right of the big mound of dirt.

And, finally, a very unusual sight:

[No buses]

That's a shot of Comal...behind the rf fence. Note how none of the buses that usually hang out along Comal are there. Weird. I'm guessing they had to be moved in order to keep Comal free for construction vehicle traffic. I did not look around to see if they'd been moved somewhere nearby.

I really need to try and make it out there on a weekday when I can get better shots. Maybe in a couple of weeks.
