Pretty much up 3rd base although there may be a slight angle I hear due to seating angles. Yes to the end zones assumption as well.

Not trying to be overly critical, but I feel like this is going to look super weird when it is done. Like it will be extremely obvious that a rectangle peg was shoved into a triangle hole.

Maybe I just don't have the vision to see the final product in my mind.
Seating is going to be reconfigured so that it will be a football field with football seating. It will not be a triangle hole.

That is why entire sections of concrete, steel and seats are being removed. We are not just running a football field down 3rd base. And lets not forget what the prize is here. Its the building and its 250k sq feet of office space. Its the amazing outside facade. The renovation of this stadium into a football stadium is a national story which it would not have been if we were just building a 30k seat erector set from scratch.

The one area I would be concerned about is from behind home plate up the first base side. From the plans above the seats will have several different angles relative to the field in that area. It seems like they would have removed a few feet of dirt to allow for a wall to be built straight across the back of that end zone. Maybe the cost and time to do wouldn't allow for it, but it would take away most of the baseball feel that will be left over.

There is a reason heavy equipment is in there 03-wink

i think at least at the field level it will look and feel like a football field by August, Some other stuff may have to wait until Phase 2 and 3.
