EDC Update: Calm Before The Storm

This is the grounds of Camping World Stadium where 2 weeks from today the world will come calling for the 9th edition of Electric Daisy Carnival - Orlando.
In the outfield of what used to be baseball stadium Tinker Field, no construction activity yet for the circuitGROUNDS stage. During 7 of the past 8 editions of EDC-Orlando, this area west of the stadium was home to the kineticFIELD main stage. But this year, the main stage is moving!
The kineticFIELD main stage this year is so huge that it's being moved to a former parking lot area east of the stadium. No stage construction yet but piles of dirt are being brought in to smooth the area.
Also east of the stadium but closer to SR408, this grassy area is also a former parking lot but last year and the year prior was home to the circuitGROUNDS stage.
And apparently those two former parking lots are being combined into one large field to support the thousands who will stand here for the most famous of DJ's playing the main stage. The chain link fences around both lots have been removed and Colyer Street that runs between them has been covered with sand. My guess is the kineticFIELD main stage will be at the south end of the combined field facing north and away from SR408 but we really don't know yet.  What we do know is that up to 250,000 electronic music fans are expected this year!
EDC-Orlando is happening on November 8-9-10.
