It is kind of a tough phrase so I'm just going to call it KF.

Hell, I still call the Capital One Arena in DC the Verizon Center, and before that I called it the MCI Center years after the name change. Not because I'm resistant to change, but because it's so ingrained in my brain haha

Yeah, it's tough at first to acknowledge a new name when you have called it something else for so long. I mean, it had been Foreman Field for 82 years. I think people were looking for a nickname as Kornblau Field at SB Ballard Stadium doesn't exactly flow real well. Maybe we just go back to the suggestion of "The Steve" lol. Kidding aside, I'll try to make an effort to start calling it Kornblau Field.

I think the normal expectation would be to call it SB Ballard Stadium or Ballard Stadium. Tons of stadiums have the field named, but few actually reference it ie. Lane Stadium at Worsham Field or App State's Kidd Brewer Stadium at Wendell H "Dell" Murphy Jr Field... you get the point.

Ha. I was just trying to remember the name of this place yesterday. Pretty random.

Maybe they should approach the guys that started that store to run the memorabilia stands at the new stadium.

I think Ballard Stadium works just fine.

2 cranes now in place, no movement yet though.

Has there been any action this week?

New piece of heavy equipment moving into place on west side.

Looks like the cameras are down again. No updated pictures since the 12th

There are 3 cameras. Only one is out. Preformed concrete pieces being delivered now. Last of footing/foundation concrete being poured on east side now.

First piece of preformed wall now up on west side! progress!!

Wavy did 15 sec talk about it but nothing that we don't already know.

Unfortunately, it looks like the demolition crews forgot to "accidentally" knock down the end zone and scoreboard. Otherwise, good news, and things seem to be on schedule.

Best view of the vertical start is from the southwest camera.

Ted Alexander is doing an update series on the new SB Ballard Stadium called facility Fridays.

Here's the first episode:
