One of the first steps in
stadium construction was stripping
topsoil and re-grading the area to the north of Lamade Stadium,
then erecting the forms for the walls of the stadium. |
 |
Plumbing and conduit for the new
concession facility can be seen in this photo. |

A stake marks the spot for
second base of the new stadium in this photo. Steel reinforcing bars for
the walls of the stadium can be seen in the background. |
Improvements to Howard J.
Lamade Stadium are part of the construction too. Here, lights illuminate
the new stairways leading to the stadium during a night game in the
District 12 Tournament. |
 |
|
The walls of the new
stadium, as well as those of the
restroom and concession facilities, can be seen in this photo. |
 |
 |
|
In this photo, workers
prepare
concrete forms at Lamade Stadium. Sections 2 and 3 were improved to
provide more legroom. |
Roofs were installed on
the concession and restroom facilities as work progressed on the new
stadium. |
 |
|
The left field wall is
nearly complete. |
 |
 |
|
A crane is used to install
the steel supports for the roof at the new stadium. |
Sod (40,000 square feet)
was installed in one day. |
 |
|
The superstructure for
seating is installed as the roof progresses. |
 |
Workers ease a seat
support into position. |

This panoramic view of the
stadium, with Bald Eagle Mountain
looming in the background, was taken on December 6, 2000. |

|
A fresh coating of snow
covers the new stadium surface. (December 20, 2000) |
 |
Snow is no barrier to
progress on
the new stadium and other facilities. |
 |
 |
|
A roof is installed over
much of the seating in
early January as snow continues to fall. |
|
Workers place seating
planks
in the stands on the first base
side of the new stadium. |
 |
Workers assemble the roof
for the new pavilion that will serve
as a picnic area for both stadiums.
|
 |
|
Some areas beneath Howard
J. Lamade Stadium are being converted from open space to rooms for
news conferences, storage and office space.

This view, from the back
of Lamade
Stadium, shows the new concession
facility in the center,
and the new
stadium in the background.

This photo, taken just
after a snowstorm on March 5, 2001, shows workers
unloading the seats that will be installed in the new stadium.
|
 |
In another photo taken March 5, workers assemble a part of the seating
area behind home plate, even as snow remains piled up in the new
stadium.
|
 |
This is the view from just beyond second base in a photo taken on
March 13, 2001.
