Dow Diamond Update

Ballparkdigest.com has a pointer to this story about the progress on the home of the Great.Lakes.Loons.

There is video at the link (the laptop on the anchor desk is a nice touch) with a few quick views of the inside of the stadium.

The lede goes a little something like this...

Two months from Tuesday, they will be saying, "Play ball" in Midland.

The Great Lakes Loons will play their first home game of the minor league baseball season at the Dow Diamond April 13.

With fewer than 60 days to go, how is construction going on the new ballpark?

The answer is very well, considering construction began just 10 months ago for a project that really should have taken two years.

Everywhere you look, somebody's painting something, welding something or hammering at something.


The cost of the project is at $33 million, only $5 million over budget.
