If you drive by the future site of Allianz Field, you’ll see progress is constantly being made. Shortly after the column signing ceremony, structural steel started going up at the southeast corner of the site and now it’s starting to wrap around to the south. Mortenson Construction reports that in the coming weeks, you’ll be able to see a lot more going north along the east side of the site now that demolition of the building that formerly housed Rainbow Foods is complete.
As the outline of the building begins to take shape, it’s worth noting that the stadium is not just another sports venue, and not even just the premiere soccer-specific stadium in Minnesota, but the newest member of the Allianz family of stadiums.
