The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

As I said before, finish the dam thing then play in it...IMO!

Imagine if it was the week of Christmas right now and they would be where they are now....like it was supposed to be.

No kidding. So much more would be ready for March 3

I'm confused a bit about that comment as well. Coach Robichaux said last week that the entire project would be completed sometime in May and they would get the keys. But maybe the suites will not be used until next season even if we host a regional?

I agree. I took that to mean for post season the complete facility would be available.

I agree with not having the boxes finished and the issues with the ineptitude of the former AD, I just saying why does it feel like we always half-_____ things around UL? You would have to agree to that? Finish things........! Where would they play, many have suggested other fields (not the best but playable).

Why don't you call in and ask Bab during the 11 AM hour show on 1420? Or just post the question in here: https://forumeus.com/...ner-quot-w-Bab

I'm sure he can explain why they're doing what they are doing

I know you probably aren't aware of the details but I can assure you the "options" were going to be way worse for athletes, fans, and budget.

We would either be at Fabacher with too many problems to even count or we would have been skipping all around the state for "home" games. McNeese one weekend, Hammond the next, then maybe New Orleans.......

I really don't understand your stance. 100% of the grandstand, bleacher and patio seats will be available, the restrooms will be available, and we were using temporary concessions around the old Tigue already. There are about 100 people effected by the suites. A luxury that didn't even exist up until this point.

Hey we got a new AD out the deal .. cant be too ____ed

[Frenchie35]

Suites next year? Why would they not continue work on the suites during the season and have them ready for post season? Why wait until next year? Surely they will continue to work on the press box and concessions during the season until complete.

I agree here. Should have electricians, plumbers, wall and floor people on the forth floor working to get that ready right now. They may have, but don't hear anything about it other than next year. That section is revenue. Should be ready for post season 2017, not 2018

Nobody said they were stopping work. It's just that it won't be completed 100% until later in the season. The suites will be the last thing finished that the public will use. They won't be availavle for a full season until next year.

There will be seats, there will be rest rooms and there will be temporary concessions. Everything else is going to happen later on the season. It may not be 100 percent until post season.

Even with just the rest rooms finished it will probably be better than the old stadium. Never been to the old stadium but from what i can tell the rest rooms were a dump.

Considering the fact that I routinely used the Port-o-lets under the bleachers and only stepped foot in the old restrooms about 2 or 3 times a season, yes they were a complete dump. For men, we don't need anything other than the Port-o-lets to be happy... I could see the women complaining though if they don't have completed restrooms haha.
