ROOF Color of Indoor Practice Facility

[DaddyCajun]

I thought that vermilion would look great for one or two seasons, then it would go though several stages of orange, and even though I am a paint volunteer, I ain't going to help on that one. I went with the white, vermilion walls would be just dandy.

I built the gameday sponso Vermilion roof is still as Vermilion as ever. Also on the Ticket boothe out front of the Baseball field it is newer yet still Vermilion!

All the Roof tops should be Vermilion, all of the that are metal that is!

I believe if you put up a white roof and then paint it red it will fade, but if you decide on red in the design then the metal will come red from the factory and it wont fade. I also don't think there is a major difference in price between the two metals but like someone already said, the darker roof will produce more heat. If there are fans and vents in the building like there will be if there is no air conditioning than alot of that heat shouldn't reach the field level.

As far as the turf goes. I will gladly give the first hundred dollars and some time to make sure the turf is painted over, not cause I don't like the Saints either.

Those fields get painted and washed/repainted all the time (think superdome for sugar bowl, then turning for this week's playoff game). Doubt there will be any old saints logos on the turf.

I have a background in metal building construction so I guess I'll give my 2 cents. If Southern donated to good stuff, it will have a 30 year waranty and should not fade for many many years. However, in my experience I know for a fact that it will look best with all white and trim in vermillion. I've been around metal buildings my whole life because my dad owns a company that sells building and roofs (Cajun Building Specialties in New Iberia). Nice free plug there haha.

While we are talking about construction projects, what is the status/hold up with the media center on the corner of Congress and Bertrand?

I drive by nearly every day, and haven't seen a lick of work done.

I hope it doesn't have a similar time frame to the Camellia Blvd. project.

I don't know anything about roofing and color fading issues... but I say Vermillion cause it just makes sense.
