The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

[Frenchie35]

Everyone has a right to an opinion but I completely disagree with this: I drove on Reinhardt yesterday and saw up close that the bricks of the two structures blend very well. I'm sure they could make a few simple changes on the clubhouse (windows/doors, signage, etc.) that will make it blend in even more.

As is it looks now, it's does not fit in this project. What's the old saying, you can put lipstick on a pig, but.....

Looks like they are making a push to finish the brick work in the third base side this weekend.

Looks to me like they have reached all the way to the top, to left of the entrance. I assume they will spray the cleaner as they descend. And I think that leaves just the top arch above the entrance as the last part of the bricks left on the whole exterior.....although I'm not sure what is still needed along the 3rd baseline bleachers but that looks very complete too.

They still have the cast stone trim to place at the top. There might be some brick work to do here and there but they can finish that next week. They will clean the brick from a man lift.

Appears we're one window shorter on third base side than first. That's what, about six feet with brick trim.

The stadium is really sweet.

They've added some scaffolding to add the cast stone trim of the arch and all alongside the entrance, and also to finish the brick section directly atop the arch

Do you think that they are going to leave the sections surrounding the exterior open to where you can see the underbelly of the grandstand?. I guess they're leaving it open for airflow? I personally would like to see some type of louvers installed.

No, I don't think that they'll leave it open......see post #1898.....but I do believe that is the most popular question as the construction winds down.

Thanks, that post was referring to the gray part below the windows. By the renderings, it looks like below the gray part is open. It just looks unfinished to me in the rendering.

I was of the understanding that the new clubhouse will be under the 1st base stands and when the New Dugouts are sunk down UL will do many schools do that have the sun in their eyes they start using the first base dugout rather than the traditional third base dugout. So more than likely the old structure club house will be torn torn down or used for storage or offices not certain .

Pretty sure it will be on Reinhardt where the current batting cages are located, definitely not under any grandstand.

Tear down the tennis facility......somebody posted how it can be moved closer to Bourgois Hall.....could this really be done???
