Much of the overall site has been cleared of trees needed and other elements like the press box, bleachers, and tennis courts.

It was brought to our attention that a population of Sullivant’s milkweed was planted some time ago on the site. Sullivant’s Milkweed is threatened in Minnesota and the DNR closely monitors where planted and native populations exist within the state. The construction crews moved around these plants until ISG's Ecologist, William Stencel, could assist in transplanting the milkweed. They will be kept safe during construction and replanted in the new native prairie that is planned for the west side of the new site.
