The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

[HelmutVII]

I feel like they've dug up or worked on those pipes in front of the close camera 4 or 5 times over the last few months

There is more than one thing going on there.

Nice to see red bricks. The next week should be great for laying.

Eric Crozier on 103.7 right now.

A report: All I heard was how great 103.7 is and a whole lot of commercials. Oh yea, the Russo park was ahead of schedule.

I was told the bid came in at $60k. Robe suggested charging $5,000 instead of $3,000 for the wall sponsors to cover the cost. Not sure how that went over.

3k for a wall sponsor????? That's it?? Holy moly. Should be 10k for a spot on that wall. That is really cheap for that kind of advertisement.

Placing concrete on the third base concourse this morning.

When I passed yesterday I was surprised at how high the concrete form was over the ground level outside the stadium. I'm guessing they'll be doing plenty of concrete with ramps for accessibility?

Yeah that was something I hadn't noticed on the rendering until it was mentioned here. Looking back on it though, you can see the ramp on the 3B side and what looks like steps on the 1B side.

Also noticed a lot of the aluminum risers are installed on that side from your pic. You can kind of tell in the cam as there's less and less light passing through now.

While there will no doubt be some ramps etc. keep in mind that this isn't finished elevation. A lot of dirt work to do but that will be one of the last things to happen.

Cant listen...please post updates and relay info if possible. Thanks

It will be up on the 103.7 web site later today i'm sure. He did say they have started installing seats and it will take about 2 weeks. Also expect rest rooms finished, no press box and temporary concessions. It will be Spartan but usable. Suites next year.

There is a ramp to the right of the entrance shown in the photo above.

So I'm guessing steps straight to the entry with the ramp merging from the side? I couldn't tell if the first base side entry was going to look the same or if it had the same elevation.

$10,000 if the university gets production equipment and the games are televised. Good luck finding 30 companies willing to paid that without tv time.
