Yeah, we sit on the East side and were talking about how impressive it will be and the great impact it will have on the complex once everything's done. I just hope that when Cajun field renovation plans are done they take their design cues from what the new Tigue will look like.

That would be nice. But right now I just wish we could get the product on the field inside Cajun Field to be similar to the product on the diamond inside the "Tigue"!

Hey look, first piece of the overhang structure is going up

Working today.

It looks like the main support beams are actually bolted below the level of the concrete. Is this a normal practice for this type of construction?

[Fais do-do]

Can they at least move the CAM to where you can see the entire project, not just the 5 feet in front of the CAM?

It can happen the way they are doing it and with the base plates above the slab.

It also looks like there are pipes out of the ground outside of the poured concrete footprint. This makes me wonder if the actual outer brick wall will be a bigger footprint than the current concrete would indicate.

Do you think I can get in the bleachers and take some pictures without being a harassed by the construction police?......Maybe enter through the UL bull pin or where the players come on the field. I could take some good pictures from the right and left field bleachers.
