Construction remains on schedule at the new Major League Soccer stadium on Wednesday, Dec. 16, 2020. Steel beams are in the ground and workers are placing more to create the concourse level that will wrap all the way around the stadium. Crews are also working on a state-of-the-art field drainage system to help keep the field dry for play in all types of weather.
