These pictures are moving right to left. As you see in the picture immediately below, the fencing around the pitch is up and complete. The pitches themselves are also complete. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get much closer to the field itself, but a very small amount of the snow has melted and you can see the pitch below.
There are two construction entrances to the facility. Gate A leads to the field itself and the parking lot. Here, you can see the first level of the facility structure through the meshed gate.
Here, you can see the parking lot they have leveled. They have the outline of the parking lot itself, but it looks like most of the space has not been paved yet.
Again, moving right to left, you see the intersection of the facility structure itself with the far side of the pitch. There are tractors working beyond and behind the structure, but I couldn't figure out what they were doing. The entire building is wrapped in white Tyvek, except for the entrance/lobby of the building which is wrapped in light blue Tyvek. Unfortunately, I don't think I have a decent picture of what the front of the building looks like. There was no one working inside the structure while I was here, but there were folks on the roof and it looked like they were doing HVAC work. It will be interesting to see what they put on the Tyvek. I would imagine stone, but they could also do brick or vinyl siding I guess.
Another picture of the facility. Does anyone know why they all have turrets?
You can partially make out the blue Tyvek wrapping in this picture below.
Here is another picture at the far end of the structure. You also see part of the parking lot and the drainage pipes (I think) for the whole facility. Not sure if they are excess or not.
View of the far end of the pitch from Gate A below. To the right, there is a beautiful little league stadium. They would not be able to expand the facility to the right of the picture.
I don't know what this is. I could guess that it is some sort of steam/bath/shower facility. It's a standalone structure and it's right on the pitch. You can see that there looks to be a major ventilation unit on the top of the building. Again, it's wrapped in Tyvek.
Here is another view of this standalone building.
This is a view of the one side of the building and a better view of the pitch.
Here's a full view of the standalone structure.
Wide shot of the facility structure itself. It's a decent size.
Zoom in view of the one end/lobby end of the facility structure. You see the blue Tyvek. Now that I think of it, I wonder if it is blue particle board/dry wall.
These signs are everywhere, along with the signs for the site developer.
Before I left, I noticed a tractor off in the distance moving earth. If they were going to expand the lot, it would be back on that end of the pitch. That's where most of the trucks were parked and where all of the activity was taking place.
My favorite thing? You can't see it here but the signs ask that you stay off the field. It means they are ready.
Here is a zoom in, wide angle shot of the facility structure.
All in, it was exciting. I don't know what needs to be done inside of the building itself, but the outside of the structure looks to be complete, minus the exterior finish. The fields are ready to use. I don't know what the drainage capacity is. In terms of getting there, it's about 25 minutes from White Plains (many of our guys have historically lived around White Plains). From the Tappan Zee, it's about 10 minutes. It's also right on the border with New Jersey.
My video gives a better sense of the project overall.
