The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

[weareLOUISIANA]

The current steel is already behind the bleachers. This appears to include the same steel covering as as the rest of the grandstand. The walkway structure being built behind the bleachers is different than what is constructed in this photo. You can see the difference in the photos I posted earlier of the left field line which have already been done.

Look at the graphic that was posted outside the stadium last season...on the first base side of the grandstand you can see where it extends behind the existing bleachers (picture says "Russo Park" on the bricks in that area). The cover even looks to extend over the already existing bleachers.

Nothing has changed. The big grandstand goes partially around the metal bleachers

Good catch, I never noticed that.

Once they get the CMU wall up we won't be able to see much of anything on the close up camera.

Looking again, I'm guessing this makes the actual seating area of the grandstand unsymmetrical unless they created a smaller section down the third base line. I don't know as I've ever seen a rendering showing that view. I'm guessing when they later expand the grandstand down the first base line it will be taken care of so it all looks balanced.

The bleachers themselves are not symmetrical. The one one the first base side was built closer to home plate than the one on the third base side.

Was about to say the same. We can watch them work in this one bathroom and that's about it. And maybe a little of the 2nd level work just overhead

Electricians, steel erection crew, brick masons and concrete crew working this morning.
I suspect work this weekend to make up for days lost thus past week due to rain.

Yeah, went by today. I wanted to see the view of the progress along the baselines.
Along the first base there is no steel yet, but they are progressing with the footings, etc.
And it's hard to get a good pic of it, but they have put steel through the clubhouse, but not much beyond that.
Seems to me they are getting the grandstand done first, then will move faster along the baselines.
