December
 The month of November involved quite a bit of work
at the amphitheater/balcony location. Two very large
(36-inches in diameter) columns and a 24-inch column
were poured to just below the balcony beam height. The
amphitheater balcony was poured November 25. This will
allow workers to complete the final wall of the new
addition. On the east side of the building, the walls
are completely topped out and the east slab was poured
November 21. The west side of the building has 95
percent of the walls topped out. The remaining area is
being used for access into the building pad. In a few
weeks this area will be closed off and the remaining
wall area will be topped out as well.
The concession building was laid out and the plumbing
rough-in was completed November 26.
The interior of the existing building is coming along as
well. The door frames are being set in the new walls. In
the coming weeks, workers will begin to hang drywall.
The exterior demolition is almost complete.
Site work continues each day. The two new parking lots
have been brought up to the limerock level, and the
underground utility work is being completed in all
locations.

November
The project is 20 percent complete. Approximately 99
percent of the perimeter foundations and the walls have
started to go up. Workers have poured concrete where the
large footings for the shade columns at the balcony over
the amphitheater will be located. The exterior
demolition work is approximately 90 percent complete and
100 percent complete with the interior. Workers have
started to build the new walls in the existing portion
of the building. Work also has been started on the
mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection
rough-in work in the existing building.
The site work is
continuing. The two new parking areas are being brought
up to grade level and the underground utility work is
being completed in all locations.
