Rising up from the east side of Providence Park are steel beams, cement pillars, and various supplies that are part of the construction of the new stadium decks, a multi-million dollar venture that will add thousands of seats to the historic downtown stadium.
For anyone that witnesses the work on a weekly basis, the ebb and flow of progress can be fascinating. Some weeks, one will wonder if any headway has been made at all; other weeks, the construction seems to leap forward practically overnight. It’s expensive, at times inconvenient, and you can’t always see the end result by staring at it on any given week.
