In Other News...

We drove by the new stadium last week. On the outside there is still much construction equipment and scaffolding surrounding the project, with its first public event coming in two weeks. It was a weekday around 2:30PM - and traffic was a crowded, stop-and-go, lane-changing mess along 7th Street and 17th Avenue, two main arteries that lead into the park. Turning onto a side-road near the west side of the stadium we faced one of the guarded construction gates; turning left from there we immediately faced a chicken crossing the road.
