Lights go up at the 'Tigue'

Not sure the old ones will be down before the season

The outfield ones are already down and they were taking down the bleacher lights this week. To which ones are you referring?

I think they are already down.

As mentioned, they are coming down. But what you are saying is what Robe had said a few months ago. Basically, they were originally planning to keep them up for the first few weeks of the season as a safeguard in case there were issues, but it looks like that has changed.

I live in BR, thought I had heard Robe at Diamond club meeting say they were staying up, glad that changed.

from some of the pictures it looks like the outfield lights were already switched out. The poles look the same as the new ones.

They were the first ones swapped. I'm pretty sure they had to take down a few trees to allow the new lights to function properly.

I'm pretty sure they are new light poles as well as lights in the outfield. The old ones were black (or rusted) I think and the new ones look to be galvanized. Only reason I'm pretty sure is because I drove by around dusk a week ago and the light poles caught my eye instantly

All poles are new and outfield was completed a week or 2 ago

Dammmnm!! They took out a tree? I am so heartbroken.

Were there goofballs picketing the tree removal?

And now the new ones along the first baseline are up, and the old ones are down. They are now working on getting the new ones up along the third baseline. I would assume that they will then take down the last of the old ones once the new ones are up.

The concrete structure supporting the ones behind the grandstand/bleachers are massive.

It's been years since I played on Cajun Courts, but from what I could remember moving the lights to Cullota would be very helpful. Not sure if they have been updated since then, but I played in a state tournament there in 2000.
