[QUOTE="ilphotog, post: 1214605, member: 5372"] Today's visit - Things are moving along nicely. The flooring being put down in the West entrance is almost done, hope in two weeks to get a good clear shot of the area. They have started putting down the flooring around the lower concourse, it will look really sharp when done. A couple of the staircases have had the flooring installed on them as well. Inside the arena they have installed a few of the new lights up on the ring but haven't been turned on yet. In the two new club area's the temporary walls on the lower concourse have been removed, the Legacy Club is getting closer to being finished, the Krush Club still has a ways to go, but they did get new hanging lights installed. On the upper concourse, by the end of this month all of the block work should be done on the new rest rooms and concession stands, then installing all the fixtures. On the outside, they continue work on the roof, I believe they are on their last section. The west circle drive, all of the work materials have been removed from inside of the circle drive (grass area). Its being regraded and fill dirt is being added, then they will be reseeded the area. Also nearly all of those shrubs along the streets around the SFC are being torn out. The locker rooms have been framed and drywall has been installed, these will look really sharp when done. The new trainers room with cold tubs is moving along as well. A little bonus- The old wooden seats at Huff are currently being removed, probably have about 75% unbolted and sent down a wooden slide to the floor, loaded onto carts and placed into a large disposal dumpster.
