Cessna Stadium - Help Me Out Real Quick

[KC Shox]

Drove past the stadium and saw construction, excavation being done on the south end. Does anyone know what they are doing over there? I can't find any literature on it. Oh, and I know it's not for football - my hopes have not been raised seeing this.

Thanks in advance.

It looked like they are terracing the hill. Putting in rocks to make it look like the outfield hill at eck. But i dont know wjat they are actually doing.

The last game i made it to this season, i noticed just inside the fence the landscape had been eroding. Cinder blocks and bricks as well as dirt had made a big mess.

New look at Cessna — Crews are working on two projects at Cessna Stadium.

The football field is being reseeded with Bermuda grass.

“We’re starting over with our grass,” associate athletic director Brad Pittman said. “We just didn’t have the quality of grass we wanted.”

Pittman said the grass should be ready for high school football. Kapaun Mount Carmel plays homes games at Cessna Stadium.

Drainage problems forced WSU to tear out the retaining wall behind the south end zone (opposite the scoreboard). It will be replaced with a three-tiered setup that should help the drainage from the parking lot and give fans a place to walk and sit during events.

“It should look better and be a little more user-friendly,” Pittman said.

I don't know why they don't just put field turf in.
