Walls are going up for the new Sport Expo Center

By Barclay Kruse, NSC Chief Communications Officer

It's a big week for construction for our new Sport Expo Center at the NSC. After pouring footings last week, Kraus-Anderson, our contractor, and Fabcon, the manufacturer of the building walls, started tipping up the new walls yesterday. Suddenly, we have a building going up, and it's happening fast!

This new building, projected to open in early June, will host sports training (it'll have short turf on the floor), shows and expos, and during Schwan's USA CUP, it'll be the new home of the PUMA World Store.

Check out how much they've done in just two days!
