Two projects are currently underway on Memorial Field. Photos below show progress on both the east and west sides of the stadium.
 
 East side sink hole work
 
West side bleacher repair/replacement
 
The east side work is a project by State College Borough. They are digging to find both the throat of the sinkhole and also a solid foundation for building a reverse filter and water conveyance system. They  maintained the current water conveyance structure to handle any storms that may arrive until they are ready to rebuild. The new conveyance system is now being built.
 The west side work involves bleacher removal and excavation in preparation for rebuilding the wall and then rebuilding the bleachers.

With the help of Alpha Fire Company we blasted 1,500 gpm of water into the sinkhole for 15 minutes April 18. There was no refusal of water and it appeared to be capable of accepting at least double or triple that rate. Building of the filter (rock installation) will begin soon.
