Way past started. The entire area was excavated and replaced this summer. Not sure if the new track surface has been installed though. New seating on west side comes next year. A video board is now in place on the south end.

Yeah, I'm way behind! There is a new surface down--guessing it's foundational, and not the final surface....

They have been working on the track surface the past couple of weeks. Still not finished. Construction on seating on west side has started.

I hope it looks exactly like the ones from the SHAC. Like exactly the same ones take right over but spaced about 6 inches more. Then fix the SHAC.

There has always been a chain link all the way around, but now they've added a colored chain link behind it. Its either dark green or black.
I don't have a problem with it for a non revenue sport but i hope they can make the entrance a little more grand.
The IPF has a black iron fence but its also along one of the most visible stretches

If you are expecting more than aluminum and plastic, you will be disappointed.

For a non revenue sport Im really not though. I want to go there and think this is nicer than Ellig. Im sure it will accomplish that. Besides its much easier to improve an outdoor track facility over time.
After looking at NW Missouri States new football locker room, I would rather we spend money on that
