“From where it is when I first got the job to where it is now is pretty baffling to me,” Woodward said. “I can’t wait to see in another year what it looks like.” About 1,300 workers are at the site daily, building a state-of-the-art, retractable roof ballpark, in the heart of Arlington’s world-class Entertainment District. The first section of the retractable roof is now complete and will be in place by the end of June. Permanent water and power sources are also available now, giving crews the chance to install kitchen equipment, restroom fixtures and air conditioning units. The four-story office building, on the southeast side of the construction site, is now 80 percent complete. HKS is the design architect for the project and Manhattan Construction Company is the construction manager. Work at Globe Life Field is 65 percent complete, with the ballpark set to open in March 2020. 3
