Citi Field Update 3/29/08
By Dan M. | March 29, 2008
Here is this week’s Citi Field update. As always, you can see the latest pictures on the Refugees forum and Webshots.
With only ten days until the Mets home opener, most of the visible changes over the past two weeks have been related to infrastructure work. Work continues at a rapid pace on the new subway entrance/exit as well as the nearby MTA information booth. The parking lot on the Roosevelt Avenue side of Citi Field has been fully repaved.
As for the park itself, installation of the precast facade is now complete with the exception of a small area on the first base side where a construction elevator is attached.
The first supports for the center field scoreboard are now in place. Once the scoreboard supports are complete, Citi Field’s structural steel will be 100% completed.
With the structure almost completely in place, the majority of the work being done is happening inside the ballpark, where the front rows of precast risers for the concourse level seating will soon be put into place. The interior progress can be seen in islandxtreme26’s photos that were linked to the other day.
Also, according to a construction worker who posts on Baseball Fever, preparation work has started for the promenade level (upper deck) seating, and the seats themselves will begin to be installed soon, possibly as early as Thursday.
Make sure to visit the Refugees forum or Webshots for pictures of Citi Field from inside Shea a few hours after the conclusion of the home opener, and check back here soon for the next Citi Field update.
