The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

thats because they havnt started on that part of the structure yet. The beams are not for the main grandstand its for the decking/walkway that will be behind the bleachers on the 1st and 3rd base sides.

I think it was covered further back in this thread. The supposition is that the current locker room will be enclosed within the new stadium structure and re-purposed (concessions, storage, maybe visitor locker room) once the new locker room/hitting facility is completed. My supposition would be near the current Cajun bullpen area is located. The last numbers I heard was $4M with a different private funding source than the regular stadium.

I went by today and took a couple of photos from a different perspective. Sorry about the sunlight on one as I didn't note it until I got back to the office.

Thanks for the pics. The further away you get, the more sense of scale you get it seems. It gives you a feel of just how big it will be since you can see the bleachers are a level or two shorter

I'm glad it will be surrounded by brick because the new grandstand will be massive compared to the current bleachers... I guess the overhangs and concourse above the bleachers should get that scale looking closer.

Yeah, I think it will integrate really nicely once it gets wrapped all the way around

Especially considering those concourses will be 30' wide.

I'm guessing you mean 30'deep? But whole width of the bleachers correct?

I understood that this deck is supposed to continue from the end to end of the right and left field bleachers. I'd guess it might reduce in size under the grandstand area. Additionally, the lower concourse is also supposed to connect end to end.

Anyone know if we are getting a new outfield wall in this reno?

Someone please go and turn that camera stage right so we can see and dream all at the same time.

When I passed today it looks like they've gone as far as they can with steel until the next concrete pour. They were working in the last section behind home plate and the section down the right field line.
