3/28/09 Harrisburg Senators Stadium Construction

A week from today we should know what players will be assigned to Harrisburg to start the season.

Meanwhile, the construction crews are putting in a lot of hours trying to finish phase 1 of the renovation project.

Saturday wasn't the best day to try to photograph as it was extremely overcast, muddy and there is so much steel in the way it is getting increasingly more difficult to get a good 'shot'. That last part about to much steel being the in way is a good thing.

It's kind of hard to see from this photo but fence is covering right to about deep right center field.

Great pics.

And it looks like ill be at FanFest after all. The trip that I was supposed to make to Wilkes Barre got canceled (going to be going with the Bears Booster Club to Philly instead), so its just a matter of getting home from work, take a quick nap, and not oversleep, and Ill be there :)

There's no way the office building will be complete, but that's not a real issue here. My question is: Will the seating be ready in 2 weeks? There still seems to be a lot left to complete before that area is accessible. Other than that, they've really made the place look different already. Once the seating bowl is fixed we'll really be able to experience a nice atmosphere.

Steudler47: Glad to hear you can make it.

Verb: Let's keep our fingers crossed...LOL.

Chris: Building is not supposed to be functional until the 2010 season. I will try to get more specifics on the seating. You're correct, it will be really nice when completed.
