Anyone else besides me having trouble sleeping over this anticipation? LOL.

They have been talking about a new baseball park dating back to at least 2004, when I moved back to Lafayette. LONG TIME!

If all the seats are available in the grand stands and they said that they will have 800 more than previous seasons, and the bleachers are available, why are they adding 200 more temporary bleachers. With out those temporary bleachers the capacity they announced will be over 4500.

Because the suites arent ready and those people need to be seated in the grandstand for the time being. This is why not all the grandstand seats are being sold now and they stopped selling season tickets. Because the suite people get displaced which takes those grandstand seats. This just allows for additional capacity to get closer to the 4500

Over or under 4,000 in attendance for opening night.

It was 4473 for last year. It will be over 4000. They count the 3500 season tickets sold right away, then you should have plenty others walk up

[MelRock]

The over under should be set at least at 5000

I'm not sure if that 800 additional seating in the grandstands includes the 200 additional seats in the 10 suites... but I bet it is included... and the suites aren't ready yet... So really - it is just 600 additional seats in the grandstands... and they probably sold at least close to that number in new season tickets.

Even though they have an 'illegal' logo on it? ;-)
