The turf is completed. I don't know if they had a finial walk through or not. Saw Scott Forman on the field today. He said that they were suppose to start the pressure washing this week. He said that it would be washed from top to bottom. The plans for the wall is to have two sponsors with their sign on it plus some logo's of UL, etc...The pictures form the stand's look great. On the field is another story. The 7 on 7 crew should have picked up their trash. Hope the maintainance crew do their job. They have a machine to run over the turf to clean off trash and lift the truf. Evidence of drain problems already......

I could have sworn that was the reason for getting the turf, drainage would not be a problem. At least they have almost three months to get it right before the first game in LATE September.

If that was the only inlet that had water and every other inlet was dry then the problem is at the inlet. Probably some debris or something at the inlet. Not a big deal, just remove the grate and clean it out. Been at stuff like this for 32 years trust me on this one.

See you next week I'm in UD2 22 & 23. We will be right at the 50 yard line. I will be sitting 4 rows up from my season ticket seat UD2 Row 1 seat 21. One of the absolute best seats in the house.

Has anybody been to the stadium lately? I stopped by the other night to see the turf but didn't really walk in, did they do any of the mainenance? ie. the C on Cajun Field, get all of the weeds out of the bleachers, paint, etc.? I noticed a few things that need painting such as the black wall around the field, the big red concrete square by the tunnel needs a fresh coat of red. I saw the turf and it looks awesome, i had a few friends (LSUBR fans) that were impressed. But if the stadium doesn't match up to the new turf I'll be a little disappointed. Anybody know anything?

Give them a little time. Be patient. Things don't just happen over night.

The things you mentioned are going to happen, but geez, just be a little patient.

I believe everything is geared towards Fan Day on Aug 10th (?) but we really have until Sept 20th, the date of our first home game.

I don't know. I like my lower level D3 chairbacks just fine.
