The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

We will have a great view of a CMU wall in the close up camera very soon.

I still can't believe CMU is getting all this pub while WMU is having such a great year!

Don't panic yet. The idea of this happening has always been based on a razor thin margin. I really don't think we have a true idea about hitting that mark until sometime in February.

Oh they know now that the stadium won't be 100% complete by the home opener. Plans are in place to bring in temporary concessions and restrooms because many of the areas within the grandstand, outside of the seats themselves, will not be allowed to be occupied. The expense of bringing in temporary facilities at Russo is way cheaper than getting an off campus facility like Fabacher ready for the large crowds.

I've been wondering where they could bring in extra seating. The only place inside the stadium that I can think of would be the group area just past the third base bleachers without removing bullpen or patio box areas. The other option would be in the outfield between trees. Any other ideas?

Why would they bring in extra seating? The grandstand seating will be done (hopefully), just not the interior of the building. Once that is completed that is all the seating the stadium will have. No need for temp seating.

Grandstand will not be accessible till mid-season (hopefully). Nobody will be sitting in the grandstand for the Southern Miss series.

No temporary seating is being brought in. Only temporary restrooms and concessions.

Current plans are to have seating available in the grandstand for USM. Per contractors.

If that's the case, you have 3000 season ticket holders. I'd think the two bleachers probably seat half of that. From what I read, all season tickets this year are general admission so first come first served. What are the plans for the other 1500 folks?

According to Dr. Leger, "We will utilize our existing bleachers and are prepared to add additional seating to accommodate all fans purchasing a general admission season ticket.".

Right, but I think they are selling. General admission tickets at 4 price points. Bleachers will be a certain price, grandstand will bE a certain price, your ticket will get you in the area and then it's general seating in that area

Watch the video. All tickets this year are the same price. You select this year where you want your tickets to be in 2018 and based on that and RCAF level you will be called in for seating options. All of those levels will be $175 plus the excellence fund for this year.
