2. Memorial Stadium & Facilities
  3. 2011 Stadium Renovation

May 2011

Progress through May 21, 2011. Nearly eight inches of rain has fallen in DeWitt during April and May. Things are starting to dry out and progress. The track arcs have been established and the edge of the track is taking shape with the interior drain. This drain will also drain artificial turf should it ever be installed. The visitor side cement pad has been poured for the new section of bleachers. The last few weeks has shown the team room building walls start to move upward and the building is taking shape.
