The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

[Cajun90]

Looking at the close up camera shot of the second floor opening I see what same to be some sort of intake or exhaust system that has been in place for some time now. Anyone know what this might be. The 6x6 railing is still in place for safety reasons. Also any word if all those opening will remain like is are will there be some type of louvers for air flow in place. Going there today and if one of the workers is around I will ask the question and hopefully he will have the answer. Will also try to get permission to go in the stadium and get pictures of the suites and press box which I don't think anyone has seen yet. That might be a chore though......

Frenchie the exhaust is for some of the kitchen equipment. No louvers.

I think it would look better with louvers or some type of slatted opening over each of the openings, not just over the exhaust ducts. They could be painted to match the rest of the dark gray metal, but I don't think it's terrible open. Obviously the wood railings will need to come down eventually

Wouldn't be surprised to see that up for a little while longer. It wouldn't be uncommon for some of the concession equipment and installation of that equipment to be outside the scope of Lemoine. Which means others may need access up there for a little while until that work is finished.

Lemoine had an item for FFE (Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment) in their contract. Don't know if that was for all of it though. I suspect that any covering of those openings won't happen until all of the finish work is done. That can happen any time.

Lord have mercy. After laying all that new turf behind the ticket office, they are now digging it up. Maybe to form and pour more walkways.....That cat with the water hose and a scrub brush is in need of a pressure washer and cleaning solution.....I got two, a 3600 & 3000 psi I can rent....

Now that they have cleared out much of the construction clutter you can see how well the lighting works around the stadium.

I hope they cover the exposed openings in some way. Seeing the back of the stands through the openings gives it an unfinished look. Seems like bad weather would cause problems inside the walls unless covered.

I agree. It looks awful.

Looks awful is a bit much...but some type of coverage would look better.

A good solution: Cover with louvers. 12-14 inch slats. Open during games for ventilation and closed for bad weather....simple solution but $$$$$

Looks as awful as that shed across the street. JMO. The openings are way too big.
I also feel like they missed big time on the design of the grandstand. Would have been better to have a split level with a walkway separating 2 levels.
As it is now, the 1st 6-10 rows have people CONSTANTLY walking right in your view of the action. Worst seats in the house if you ask me. JMO

Looks like they are installing security cameras. They just put something that looks like a camera by the second level mid stadium. Might be more coming.
