The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

[Cajun90]

1. The bleachers down the lines will eventually be replaced and aligned at the same angle as the new stadium. No time table for that to happen right now.
2. The existing clubhouse will eventually be replaced with a new one at a different location. No definitive timeline as of now but sooner than later. Hopefully very soon.

I know the home dugout has always been on the third base line, but pro ballparks are typically on the first base side. I wonder, if the new clubhouse is built where the current hitting cages are located alongside Reinhardt Drive, would they consider switching dugouts. You could access the first base dugout area from the new clubhouse area and use the old clubhouse for visiting teams. Just imagineering.

2 Questions:

1. the gap between the pre-existing and new bleachers - will the old be replaced to match the new ones? (See pic)
2. How are they going to remove the office on the 3rd base line to match with the new walls of the stadium? In the rendings, the office is not there.

The office is on the renderings. It's just not fully detailed out.

They would switch dugouts. Old clubhouse will be gone.

They would switch dugouts. Old clubhouse will be gone.

It doesn't look gone in the renderings they've released.

Don't be surprised if the new clubhouse is built this summer or next.

Things change during construction. You never know what you will find when you dig in the ground.

Looks like this morning they are cleaning the bricks along the 3rd baseline

Looks like this morning they are cleaning the bricks along the 3rd baseline

300,000 bricks in all.

How many along 3rd base line?

After careful consideration I have come to the conclusion that Russo Park Tigue Moore Field, looks like one of the old time ML baseball parks of the pass. When it is finish I would place it in the top 5 in the nation. It is certainly not like the one to the east with stick beams you can see through and square boxes built between them. I will be curious to see what the media will say after completion. They are cleaning the mortar off the bricks this morning. Looks great......
