On deck: Playing field for stadium – The Wash. Times
The new ballpark is coming along with 1,800 to 2,000 seats being installed every week. The bluegrass field is expected to be installed in about 2½ weeks. The contingency fund is drying up though:

The most recent budget report from the D.C. Sports and Entertainment Commission shows the city has spent $428.9 million toward the ballpark project, including about $280 million toward the hard and soft costs of the stadium. Just $2.8 million of the project’s $19.2 million contingency fund remains.

The project is expected to be completed in time for a late March opening.

Also, Nats320 got WMATA on the record about the Navy Yard station expansion.

“Here’s a little more data on the Navy Yard station expansion. We’re expanding the mezzanine to accommodate 15,000 fans per hour instead of the 5,000 per hour it can handle now. We’re doing the mezzanine expansion. The work we are doing is ON SCHEDULE. Meanwhile, Monument Realty is doing work on the entrance to their building. To get to the station, one will need to enter their building. Their work is what is not on schedule.”

While it is nice to know the public part of the project is going well, it really won’t matter why the station is dealyed, will it?
