CLARKSVILLE—New Governors Stadium is in its final stages of construction.

Friday saw turf finally starting to be laid after drainage issues delayed that aspect. Lettering was being placed high along the stadium's southeast side.

Also this week light standards along the east side were erected and elevated to their proper positioning. Concrete was being poured on the southwest corner of the stadium, where the Hendricks Fox Walk in the Blake Jenkins Plaza will list the names of all the players to ever wear the Governors uniform.

The new dark wood lockers now have chairs—still in their respective boxes—sitting within the lockers confines awaiting their inhabitants.

Air conditioning has been turned in the climate-controlled club level.

The Governors will open the 2014 season at Memphis but New Governors Stadium unveiling will take place 6 p.m., Sept. 13 when APSU hosts Chattanooga.
