The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

[talktomewillis]

How bout a new outfield fence?

I heard, but have not confirmed, this is in the works.

I bet a local builder or patio center would build something pretty amazing if they had naming rights to it.

I was being sarcastic Crazycajun! This was the comment of our former revered leader. But it is my understanding that this is something Herb Schilling signed on for naming rights and funding.

Schilling party deck..i like it..but really think about how creative a builder would be if he gets to advertise his work out there. Not that I think Herb would skimp or anything. Wonder how many trees would have to come down.

I would build around the trees.

Coach Robe commented that a number would have to be removed from the corner of right field back towards center. But we are talking about pine trees, not oaks.

Treehouse style...I like the vision...

Just add my .02: I think the Tigue is without doubt one of the best stadiums in the country. Maybe not the biggest, but best over-all for the fan experience.
That said, the only gripe I have is (other than the Club Room) having no bathrooms on the upper concourse. If you sit at the top it is a drag to have walk all the way down just to use the john. About the only way that they could do it, though, would be to build out past the current 3rd base bleachers, above the old clubhouse. Since that facade is not very visible, it shouldn't be that noticeable....or better yet, just do the same thing along the first base bleachers. Maybe add more concessions to each side, to help raise revenue to pay for it.

“We need to reengage conversations about a baseball clubhouse and office space for our coaches to be incorporated in Russo Park,” Maggard told The Daily Advertiser.

How about finishing the inside of the stadium. The clear view of the concessions area looks second rate compared to the rest of the stadium. Did they run out of money? Certainly it wasn't designed that way, was it? Also, couldn't they come up with another $2k to replace the top metal on the dugouts?

Can we not re-plant the pines on the property line, instead of along the fence? Would give the same feel, but also allow for expansion.

It was designed that way so fans in line can still watch the game.

Agree 100% with the dugouts, I never did like the metal tops.

They need to get rid of all the tiny ones anyway and let the bigger ones grow...and I’m not a tree hugger or anything
