RED BULL PARK ENTERS NEXT PHASE OF CONSTRUCTION


RBR knows what you are thinking. "This is a April Fool's joke. Things aren't REALLY progressing at the new stadium." BUT NO!! This is no joke. As announced on the official site, the next phase in the construction of Red Bull Park - Built By Makita (more on that tomorrow)- has commenced.

After breaking ground in December 2007, over 2,600 of the 3,200 timber piles that support the stadium foundation have been driven into the ground. The construction is now set to enter the next phase -- construction of the concrete foundations that will serve as the base of the structure. The forming of the concrete foundations was recently started and the placement of concrete in the foundations to begin in the very near future. This construction of the concrete pile caps and grade beams for the foundations will continue through June. After the concrete foundations are completed, the next phase will be the erection of the structural steel frame, which is set to commence this summer.

Will Red Bull Park have natural grass or field turf? I think it will be great to finally see soccer without the football lines late in the season. Also will nice to see natural grass.
