Fielding the NEW Swamp

[pman]

Dont know if anyone heard the sports note yesterday but a Cajun Football Coach was talking about the summer camps and said that he was told the the field would be ready on the 7 of July. I see that they have the concrete ring poured around the field. I sure hope they put a sealer or something down on it to keep it from turning black like the stadium. Wouldnt look very nice to have a beautiful new field with a mildew ring around it.

I don't think that is a concrete ring, I think that is gravel for the drainage system. The gravel causes the water to settle without erosion. I thought the entire field will be covered in turf. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know if that would look right to have a concrete ring. Someone, anyone?

a little black paint would make those walls look really good!

The concrete is not poured. They don't even have the forms finish. and no one is doing and work today. I took pictures on June 2. Take a look at them. Post # 138

Ah yes, I see now. I looked at the ULM and McNeese construction pictures also and I didn't realize they do in fact have a concrete ring around the stadium.

Do you realize that it took only 58 days form start to finish at McNeese to complete the job.

They are going to put signage around the walls so they will be totally blocked by UL stuff. Next year, UL is going to brick the wall. No more paint of any color.

Don't you hate it when contractors go so fast that they skip critical steps...

If you are talking about McNesse, I hope they skip some critical steps here. Because it sure look good........it looks like they are working at night because the lights or on every night and I don't see anyone during the day. I went check it out today and no one was on the field. Also yesterday no one.
