--Well it says that is built of Structural steel (whatever that is) and it looks 95% metal from photos with very few bricks----and the press box is behind home plate!!!

Well now (w/o Java being present you ask too much)--but I did the google deal and found photos which confirmed my thoughts---about 3 years ago I got my S-I-L to go to a game there and he was commenting how the construction was the same that he used to put up temporary structures for major golf tourneys----they install and take down and use for another one---but try to find and post!!!

Well Boomer one of two things here....either your SIL is wrong or you are going to be extremely disappointed in the new Tigue since construction will be similar. That is to say steel supports with pre-cast concrete.

----Think I will be disappointed---Don't know a thing about construction but it is the same thing at Tulane as they do at the golf tourneys I have worked with Global Golf!!!

Today structures of this size are never cast in place. Labor costs are too high. You can get a better quality concrete because it is cast in a casting yard. Production can happen quicker because the weather is not a factor. The two new parking garages on campus are this type of construction.

Your SIL is wrong boomer. Nobody puts up that type of structure temporarily but it fits your agenda with trashing Tulane so go for it.

Where's the "Preparation Cam" at Fabaucher Field? I think we should have a split screen view of both fields as they move toward their epic shared roll in Cajuns Baseball history.
