A Week in Elizabethtown

I apologize for the lack of posts the past week. I spent the last week in Elizabethtown, KY. This 100+ acre facility is taking shape. Here are a few photos from the baseball/softball fields. There are 12 baseball/softball fields on the site.

First a shot of the infields and a shot of the electric conduit to run pitching machines:

Next, a photo of the drainage that has been installed around the perimeter of the infields.

A couple of photos of the dugouts and the backstops. The dugouts will be finished with chain link around the top and netting between the dugouts.

A final shop of the backstop. On this photo, you can see the beginning on the concrete seating bowl. The field will have 3 rows of seating between the dugouts.

Finally, the grounds shop. A 100+ acre property needs a large grounds shop!

The bulk storage area. This includes covered and uncovered storage.

Look for more from “ETown” in the coming months.
