The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

That's the old parking area. I assume no parking will be aloud there. Maybe they are holding back until the area will be converted into the so called square when Cox is a thing of the pass. Let's build the new club house and get the wrecking ball swinging to take down that dump called Cox.....The new golf club house at Oakborne cost $600K, so I would say $1.5m+ should take care of Cox, the square and new club house. Chump change for a few donors in Lafayette. 100K for 15+ big wigs. I'm good for $100.00......:)

The new clubhouse was rumored to be substantially more than that (2X).

Coaches offices, locker room, indoor hitting facility, lounge area, recruit meeting area.......

The original number I seem to remember being mentioned when they talked about the Tigue work was $4M for the new clubhouse with funding coming from outside sources and mostly already committed.

Yes, it looks horrible. One would think if you spend 17 mil for the reno maybe borrow a little more and remove that limestone and pour concrete. Makes you wonder how they think sometimes

Exactly, but it would be nice and easy if they released some explanation about it so we wouldn't speculate.

They may need to add drainage or it would be wasting money because they need to do something else first. Could be a lot of things but everything so far has been done very well. I don't see any reason to assume they would choose to half ___ such a small detail.
