The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

One shot that looks like the Stadium is completed:






Laying turf by the ticket booth:




Third base entrance. I am assuming that the old parking lot will remain. Could be overlaid with blacktop.

No lamp post lighting around the stadium as in the rendering? Definitely needs some more lighting.

One of the things that always kind of bugged me was that with the athletic corridor being so far from campus, you don't get the feel of being on a college campus.

The red brick, white stone and arches at Russo Park tie it into UL's campus. If the new stadium was built in the middle of campus, it would look completely at home. I'm pretty happy about this project and some of the future plans to bring some more cohesiveness.

Yep, I agree. I might also add that the roof of the Tigue matches the APC/endzone, and helps tie it all together. Once the Cox is gone and the square is finished it will be really nice.

I really wanted the IPF to have a Sports Passionate RED roof (didn't get it) I got my wish with the world class look of Lady Cajuns Park but not with the APC. I had high hopes (pun) for baseball especially since Lourdes Park looked so good. Instead they were stuck with the bland president of the APC.

That one thing aside, I love how the architecture style would fit perfectly in the Quad on campus.

To really tie it into campus would be when the Cox building is demolished, build a quad with a smaller version of the FDL fountain.

...Like ur idea...I think that more brick will be added to the IPF and the A P c in the
Future to get more theme elements.....T Bine please get your site working, this little type thing I use is driving me crazy!!!

Five feet is what I would want. Room for a scooter and pedestrian traffic.

After passing by again this morning it looks like the walk is at least 4 feet wide.

I also noticed they were pulling up the track at the track and soccer stadium.

didnt they just redo the track surface like 4-5 years ago? how long is a life cycle on that kind of material?

i spy a water hose, hopefully it is used for more than watering grass

That surface usually last about 7-10 years in S. Louisiana. High schools and recreational parks usually push it closer to 10 years

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......
