The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

Not over the entrances, which is on the third and first base side, on top of the center section roof. The highest point of the stadium for all to see driving down Congress and Bertrand.

Maybe it's just me, but I like the clean style of the brick/cream and would rather not have any signage other than stadium name. I do think the sign at Bertrand Entrance of Reinhardt needs to be upgraded to a nice digital system that can actually draw the eye of passing motorists.

To a degree yes. If you notice the junction between the walkway and the brick wall does not follow the mortar joint in the brick. This is by design to minimize slopes for ADA access. There is a handicapped ramp to the right of the third base entrance. In order to insure proper drainage and HC access, these slopes need to be spot on and not greater than allowable maximums. I would assume that there has to be an ADA approved path from the ticket booth to the entrances. There appears to be some steps planned to the right of the view of the close up camera.

Looks like they are framing up steps on that height differential.

Hot wheel logo?

Concrete for the steps to the rear of the ticket both has been placed this morning. they are finishing it now.

Install something like this (Russo Park Tigue Moore Field -- Home of the Ragin Cajuns) on top of the center section so all can see from congress street.

I have been thinking the same thing for a while. I just love the nostalgia of neon signs at a ballpark. I had the privilege a few years ago to attend a game at Wrigley. Walking up and seeing that sign made me feel like I was walking back in time. It was very awesome!

[IberiaCajun]

that looks fantastic. I wonder what will go up in the space above the lettering...

ETA: the 3rd base side is done as well.

LOUISIANA would be fine with me.

LOUISIANA would be fine with me.

Yep! I agree: in arched lettering, in keeping with all the other arches on the façade.
Bold, yet very simple and classy.
(I wish I could photo-shop, cause I would use it to see what this would look like.)

I think I would just prefer a black metal (like the lettering) fleur de lis. Would be much more clean than trying to fit a bunch more lettering in the top part. But the LOUISIANA thing wouldnt be bad either. Just dont get too complicated.

To me, the problem with a neon sign is that our stadium is barely visible to any roads. We already have the giant LOUISIANA on the scoreboard that stays on which you can mostly see from Congress. But most of the stadium except the 1B side is blocked or not visible. And it's still pretty far away from the road. And you can kind of see parts of the stadium from Bertrand, but its not like a big street runs right next to the field.

Now lets say it was moved directly to the corner of Congress and Bertrand (in current parking fb parking lot) then I could see having something like that where lots of traffic could easily see it.

It would look good just to walk up fans though
