Despite a rainy, chilly, windy day, excavators had removed about half of the field by noon.
The standards for the old scoreboard as well as the flag pole were brought down earlier in the day.
One worker bulldozed the old sod and dirt into a pile ...
... where another used a loader to fill up a dump truck. The excess dirt is being hauled just outside the visitors side of the field and dumped on the hillside that leads to the the famed "Pit" practice field.

Another bucketful of dirt is dumped into the truck for removal.
