Construction on TCF Bank Stadium has been well under way for some time now. There have been many holes dug, holes refilled, and plenty of dirt piles pushed around. It was like a toddler with Tonka Trucks was the project manager. I had a friend openly pine about the immense amount of visible progress at the Twins ballpark site and little more than piles of dirt at the Gopher's stadium site. Well, the end of January marked the beginning of a new phase on the project: the steel frame was about to be erected (heh). Fans like my friend now have visible evidence of the stadiums progress.
Being unemployed, I have plenty of time to obsessively check the webcams around these new ballparks. There's even a webcam near campus that gives close-up, streaming video of all the action. If you still have that Tonka Truck spirit within you from your distant childhood, than you'll get pretty excited watching all of this.
Also, a lengthy video animation was released yesterday giving fans a detailed view of TCF Bank Stadium. I recommend dimming the lights, cranking up the volume, and switching the video to full screen so it feels like you're really face-to-face with Bob, Joel, Tim, Adam, and the random band geek.
