olldflame wrote:They did reduce the grade some but It is still incredibly steep. With even a little moisture on that turf it would likely be too slick for safe use. My personal opinion is they changed the grade more so for preparation to install concrete and seats there down the road. If you look at the berm where it meets concrete on the east and west sides, it is very similar in angle to the current stands. All that would be needed is to pour concrete and construct permanent seats since the dirt work is done.thepostman wrote:Will the berm even be utilized at all since it's said to be so steep?They supposedly corrected that problem.
