The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

[Hark Mudspeth]

Not knowing was his only complaint.

Your encouraging him to stay away was my only complaint.

Never encouraged him to stay away. Called his bluff maybe.

Never thought I would see this being built in my life time. Not at my age, going on 82, but sometimes feeling like 35..... Saw Robe a few days back and told him so. He sort of said the same thing. We talked about the design of it and I told him that it looks like the old ML ball parks of the past. His remark was, wait until it's finish....

"Good things come to those who wait."

I'm sure lots of people would like to do lots of different things but how do you do it? Without it being a total cluster phq. Change isn't easy, we had a guy in charge who helped reseat Indiana basketball. Once you start reshuffling it would be chaos. They protected the season ticket holders seats and offered the newly available seats to new tickets holders that helped pay for the stadium. No season ticket holder was booted for "big money Johnny come lately" which was everyone's fear in the beginning. Some people will just never be happy...I call them miserable.

Your so caught up in complaining about Frenchie you didn't even comprehend what I said.....

You - Imagine the outcry if they took all existing season ticket holders and moved them back 10 rows and awarded the new people seats in front

Me - I know people who would be happy if that happened.....

I'm not caught up in anything and I agree with you some people would...some people wouldn't. Some would like to totally relocate to other parts of the stadium, some want to stay put. It's about not opening Pandora's box. A lot of season ticket holders would feel slighted if they were moved back and new ticket holders were placed in front even though I agree being under the cover would be better IMO, but different people have different perspectives of what makes a seat better. My whole point is there is no way to do something like this that would appease every single person but I feel like they got it about as close as they could. It's probably one of the smoothest and well thought out things this department has ever done in regards to athletics compared to how they used to handle things. They were upfront about what they planned to do and how they were gonna do it...and they did what they said. It went even smoother than basketball which also went pretty good.

Word it like you want, the Dirty Dozen and 1/2 earned their seats. They should have been seated 1st in the last row just like they were in the old stadium.

The people who bought boxes and large donors needed tickets, they were given tickets that never existed before..."big money Johnny come lately" didn't take anyone's tickets...thats what everyone was worried about...be careful what you wish for.

I wonder if the people who bought the suites will ever be made public? I for one would like to start doing some serious ___-kissing of the owners, ASAP. They are going to some pretty fantastic seats......heck, I'd even do it if they all they did was sell me one for a few K's for the season, lol.

What if they would have complained about being to high up?
