THUNDER BAY — Activity at Fort William Stadium is about to ramp up as a multi-million dollar renovation reaches its final stages.There were three major projects happening within the stadium: the field turf has been completed on the field, and the new digital scoreboard is up and almost fully connected. For this weekend's games, the lower part of the board is going to be operational. Crews will be connecting the top half next week before high school football starts for the season.
Internet fibre connections have also been installed, which will allow for live streaming of certain events. "It will be an open construction site while still being used by the user groups.

Shott said on Friday.
