Brunton Park is a hive of activity as work aimed at transforming the stadium gathers pace.
A major overhaul of the East Stand is under way while other parts of the ground are being upgraded.
A big programme of work is taking place at Carlisle United's home during the close-season.
It is part of an aim by the club's owners, the Piataks, to significantly upgrade Brunton Park.
The American business family this week said they were investing more than £4.5m to improve facilities.
The East Stand will see new lounges, boardroom facilities and executive boxes, and work on those areas has been visible at Brunton Park in recent days.
The Warwick Road End will also see facilities improved for fans, while a new fan zone is set to be installed there.
The Piataks recently purchased some properties behind the home terrace, allowing them to create space for the planned supporters' area.
The dismantling of a floodlight, between the Warwick and East Stand, also took place last week as United look to upgrade their facilities.
Carlisle are also set to expand their main fan zone on the west side of Brunton Park, with work under way ahead of the installation of a new big screen, which will be in use during next month's European Championships.
United appointed Story Contracting - headed by former Blues owner Fred Story - to carry out the major East Stand work.
Workers from Story and a number of other local companies have been at the ground since the end of the 2023/24 season, with United hoping a transformed Brunton Park will be ready for the start of next season.
The Piataks this week spoke of the significant financial outlay on the plans.
Speaking of a "transformative journey" at Brunton Park, the Piataks said that "central to our plans" is investment of "over £4.5m to bring premier-level hospitality facilities to Brunton Park."
They said four of the new executive boxes on the top level of the East Stand have already been sold "on long-term deals".
Other improvements being carried out under the American family include new LED pitchside advertising boards, refurbishment of the Neil Sports Centre, redeveloped changing rooms in the west side of the ground, a new academy minibus and the purchase of properties which will be improved player residences.
Their Castle Sports Group statement invited anyone who "wants to join us on this journey" to support United in "a manner that best suits your passion".
This, they say, could include buying a season ticket, securing an executive box "or becoming a regional partner or sponsor".
They invite people to contact the club regarding the above, adding: "Together, we can achieve great heights and ensure a bright future for Carlisle United."
The Piataks added that £4m is being earmarked for a new training ground.
