Build-out for the 2010 Games Underway

Published: 07-06-2010

The build-out for the 2010 Games has officially begun, and trucks carrying temporary seating and other structures dot the Kentucky Horse Park grounds as workers unload materials and prepare to begin construction.

Workers will begin erecting temporary seating today beginning with Stands C and A, which line the left and right sides of the Outdoor Stadium. Both stands are expected take 12-13 days each to complete.
Stand B, the other temporary seating structure at the Outdoor Stadium, will run along the back of the stadium but cannot be built until late July because of other events at the Horse Park. This is the largest of the three stands and will take approximately 20 days to complete.

Later this summer, exhibit tents for the Equine Village will be placed, and in August, work begins in earnest, with media, hospitality, and trade show structures going up, along with the completion of two completely temporary competition venues.
