If that takes 6-8 months depending on the type of construction used , we are still a good bit away. Makes taking cover from a spectator area still a bit premature i think when there are so many other areas to work on - unless the 900k grant was partly for this and needed to be used.
The upside is that nothing is set in stone on capacity or design and the can be tweaked eg to allow for future expansion.
