The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

[CajunAmos]

Is that a "Ragin Cajun Baseball" sign I see on the brick wall?

Yes, and it has been on the outside of the clubhouse/coaches offices for a while.

They have cut in the stairs from the bleachers to the platforms on both sides.

lol....my friends and I have been debating how the access to the upper concourses would work, i.e. if there would be any from the bleachers. I won.

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.

How about my idea in post 2033? Now that would finish it.

If you're talking about over the entrances, it might be a bit gaudy for the the rest of the facility. JMO

I don't know about the clubhouse long term. I guess it would depend if it would stay in place as is or be removed once the new clubhouse/office building is completed.

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?

Oh god. LOL

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

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.
