The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

Since we are spitballing ideas, I wish we could have outfield boxes likes Mississippi State, but treehouse style. Obviously we don’t have the demand for that, but it would be cool.

Agree 100% with the dugouts, I never did like the metal tops.

And it is one of the very best features of the park.

I grew up with them, hate them! No value to your property, we can plant other species of trees.

It was designed that way and unless you are the camera guy or roof people you can’t really tell

I wouldn’t, besides them growing bigger and tearing up the deck, it would be covered with needles,sap and red bugs.

Yes, it was, and it's not changing. I'm guessing you probably don't attend anyway so I'm not overly concerned since it seems you're talking about TV viewing.

Green dot for you.

A proper padded outfield wall would look a lot nicer. The current fence with top to bottom ads butted up against each other is tacky as hell

Good call. Replace some of those pine trees with a pine deck! Could the actual trees being taken out be used on the deck?!? (mostly joking about that)

They basically did that on the locker room at Lamson park to allow bathroom access for the outfield bleachers.

Former players have donated but not 100% First time I've heard that.
