Review of The Tigue

[pwdonaldson]

Added in updates: second entrance down the first baseline, included a note in the "extras" section about the cooking club, and a quick note in the atmosphere section about potential stadium upgrades.

If anyone is interested in following along, I'm planning to review each DI baseball stadium in Louisiana by the end of May. You can keep track here: http://www.stadiumjourney.com/news/0...venues-in-2015

Request for Proposal (rfp) have been sent to design firms so there is progress and their is money pledged. At this stage we will need to align the RFP's with the money and that will determine when this thing can get some traction.

Just a clarification on the money, I was at that meeting as well. There is a difference between pledges or commitments and actual funds on hand. I know a couple of people said the money has been raised, but those are indeed pledges and not actual funds on hand at this time.

No argument with that. Some money is in hand but I still think we have a ways to go. I've heard figures from 9 mil to 15 mil with 10 mil being the target. I believe that is why we have sent out the RFP's. We are close enough that we need to get a hard number to go back to potential investors with.

Thanks for the info.
Also, since the plans call for suites, won't they help with revenue? I was always told that they were revenue positive.

Yes but I have no idea how much the suites contribute to the funding. We are closer than we have been but still have a ways to go. Just my opinion but I doubt we are in a position to break ground this year. Hope I'm wrong and I'm not complaining because my pockets aren't deep enough to make a difference.

Surveyors are out at the Tigue today for whatever that is worth.

These have already been returned and the winning contractor should be selected soon

WoooHooo! best news I've heard all day...all week, as a matter of fact.
I'm just going to take you at your word and enjoy it for a while.

Let me clarify to be totally accurate: the deadline for the contractors to return the proposals was last week.

That's just adding onto Cajun90 and CajunT's posts above. No dirt (turf) being moved but they are moving along in the process
