The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

In other words you are saying that the opening will have aluminum to cover the opening below the seats hoping that it will be sealed form rain falling through the cracks.

Something like that. See Cajun90's post below from page 15

Agreed but I think that is different. It was my understanding that the main concessions area would be at the top of the grandstands and would be designed so that when you are up there you still had a clear view to the field. With all that said I haven't seen anything since the conception drawings so not sure on final product.

Think I have narrowed down one thing though. The stadium area will be a hybrid system. The runners (what you walk on) will be pre-cast concrete. The risers (vertical between the runners) will be aluminum. This will give you the feel of concrete but with reduced weight because of the aluminum risers. Appears to be a nice system.

Off topic a bit... Anybody have a link to join the diamond club. Searched online, but came up empty

Search for a thread titled Diamond Club 2017.

Some pics from this afternoon. In the one of the grandstand I especially liked the look of the cantilevered balconies of the suites.

Getting a late start today unless they are on the 1st base side or inside the stadium.

Couple of new photos. There is a permanent video camera on the center field camera stand which makes me wonder is there wasn't some way to use it like the ones behind the new grandstand.

Don't know how this will look but here goes.

Looks like grandstand wont be connected to bleachers. There is a gap and they are on different slopes.

Not supposed to be connected. Built for future renovations and updates to bleachers

[CajunEXPRESS]

That's what I recall

The main structures won't be connected, but my understanding is they were supposed to connect the lower and upper walkways.

Everything I've seen is that you will be able to walk to the top of the bleachers and it connects to the grandstand there. So you can get to the club level or suites that way

The bottom walkway was supposed to connect the same way although there was going to be a step up or down as they bleachers were built at separate heights.
