Construction Cam APC ( Athletic Performance Complex )

Build a new grandstand that connects the bleachers, nothing wrong with the rest of the park. We don't need more than 4500 seats... 4800 max

If there was enough corporate interest, I would be fine with adding suites above the 1st and 3rd base seats (like they are adding behind home plate) instead of the patio area.

BTW, not sure of this deserved it's own thread, but I thought it was kind of interesting. I have been very curious as to how much is needed for reno's to the tigue and Cajun Field.....I found this from an April 2014 article and thought I might share.
So, if we have the $9 million from the two donors for the Tigue, why haven't they announced it, etc.?

(and here is the article it was posted in....a pretty good read:

Tony spoke about the progress on the Tigue renovation at Diamond Club meeting on 2/10. He said that they have some pledges to the project, but would not specify an amount. He said they are looking between $10M-$15M for what they want. He has been given word that if he is able to raise 50% of the cost, then they can begin proceeding with hiring architects, etc for construction. As of now, they have not met the 50% mark.

I'd be more than fine with that also

Well then let's take to social media and for a group to pledge funds for the Tigue renovation. Out of the box thinking works sometimes, even if it is far fetched and may get rediculed.

So Rob has to go out and raise 50% of the money needed to begin........Sounds like the reason our softball coach left for lsu, coach and raise money.....

They put the matching wind bent up this morning and now it appears they are shut down. I really don't like that. They should have been finished with that yesterday and they fought with it this morning. Something must not be right.

I am construction illiterate. What is the "matching wind bent up"?

[HelmutVII]

It is the tall rectangular steel section to the upper right of the building. It is near the IPF. I should have said they put up the matching wind bent. That should have taken them two hours at most and they fiddled with it for about a day and a half.

Thanks for the clarification.
