Latest update on Stadium

Yep, long time ago :)
I think they were just clearing land before though

Both…

“What they are doing right now is clearing that land.  They’ve got to put the fence down first.  Then they’ve got to move the turtles into another area.  Then they will clear the forest area and put mulch down so the Owls don’t come back.”

“Were starting that process, and that can take a long time, because the environmentalists have to come in.  We had the same issue with the track.  So, with the turtles, you get delayed a little bit.”

…and the real bright side:

We were named after the Owls and not the Gopher Tortoises.  Let's Go Gopher Tortoises…is just too cumbersome. :D

Let me clarify…

Before we were clearing land and moving turtles, now we have finished that and they are laying dirt down

That is good to hear.  How about financing though?  It is February.  At what point are we going hear about them going to the bond market and getting the money finalized?  What about naming rights?  We are getting close to the Spring when we are supposed to see a stadium going up.

Drop dead date is in June I think, so don't hold your breath for something this month. I would venture to guess they'll take as much time as they can getting things together.
