That original astro turf was horrible. The hardest thing to get use to was playing so far back at 2nd base because of the speed of the ball rolling on the turf plus it would take strange hops like a rubber coated hardball on cement. I felt like I was playing shortstop because of how long the throw was. That and spitting seeds on the turf just didn't seem right, lol.
Great pic. I assume they are going to build a canopy over that grandstand as well? n/m as i can see the framework. It was hard to pick up initially as it blended into the sky.
I wonder if they'll ever upgrade the other side of the "horse shoe". I.e., the 1st base line side. Those seats are shit.
Mdid you have anything to do with the airport roof when it went up? My company supplied all the steel for that. We had to knock thru a concrete wall in order to do that job. Later we moved.
Footings are supposed to be on undisturbed earth or compacted ground. Sounds like they either failed to put them in according to code or built it without the benefit of a proper geologic study.
Fought possibly did the install. We procured and bent all the beams first and fabricsted them into the trusses. Fought cant bend steel, they only fab and install. We are in the middle if a HUGe Fought job right now. Our yard is stacked as high as we can go with 12” and 22” od 40-60’ long. They will be picking up a couple trucks a day once we get final approval on dwgs and can proceed.
