No photos, but I shall paint the scene with words.

There are (3) Case Foundation rigs on the site of the office building. Two of them are boring and the other one is just a crane, maybe used to lower the caisson liners into the ground. It looks like the perimeter has also received a bit of work but none of the interlocking sheet liners like we typically see, so I'm not sure what that work was for.

There are a good few pieces of large steel W members (I think that is the right term) stacked up along Clark. There was a Prairie Concrete truck when I went by this morning.

On the right and left field sides of the park, caissons have been going in for a while now. There is still a Case rig and another Case movable crane working on the right field side this morning and a backhoe digging and doing stuff on the left field side.

Tons of noises coming from deep under the stands but I couldn't make out what they were doing.
