Maybe they are doing something in the street. There is also a strip blocked off between the stadium and the fraternity house behind it. It runs from the main gate to the little concrete pad where the families tailgate. I assume that is utility work. If that is going to be where the foundation is for the new addition, it is going to make the footprint WAY bigger.It is not in the stadium but outside as they do foundation work. Have looked for that?
It’s just so ugly and bush league looking. I mean my high school team has natural grass and real dirt. My little league fields had it.
There is no reason an SEC baseball program should have fake grass painted brown instead of dirt on their field. None of the SEC power programs use it besides Vandy which famously has basically no AD funds. Hell, I can’t think of a power team in the entire country that uses it besides Texas, but they have the old school dirt cut outs around the bases.
Arkansas, USC, LSU, UF, Miss St, Ole Miss, Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, A&M.. all playing on a real baseball field. Vandy, Kentucky, Missouri… and us… are the only ones using chopped up tire bedding and green and brown plastic .
If tony likes it, more power to him. But its only benefit is drainage. Besides that, it screams were a not taken seriously poverty program.
If a public high school can manage this, so can UT as a top 10 baseball program in the country.
You never know what they'll hit. I once saw a downtown office tower construction job stopped cold because the drillers found some mastodon bones. Stopped construction for a couple years while they dug them all up.Unless I misunderstood, I think drilling for some of the supports for the new boxes should start this week.
(Disclaimer: every drilling job I've ever been around never starts on time).
I suspected physics. You need an anchor for that cantilever roof.Maybe they are doing something in the street.

You also have to account for the concrete curing. Once they pour, the concrete must cure and pass a strength test before they can start any kind of building on it. It's a process that could take 2-3 months depending on the size for the footings.I suspected physics. You need an anchor for that cantilever roof.
