The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

Is the over hang not symmetrical, I know we have press on one side but I thought it would be symmetrical "under roof"

---Guess this is a Helmut question----Why wouldn't it be???

Well looking at the roof line in that centerfield shot, the left side of the grandstand covering seems to be larger than the right side

Until you look at the upright beams on the third base line (to the right of the light pole on the third base side) and realize that this project is UNDER CONSTRUCTION. They will get there but right now the first base line construction is ahead of the third base line.

I'm speaking strictly of the over hang. Obviously the job is under construction....but the span on the angle on the third baseline is shorter than the span of the angle on the first base side. You can look at the cantilever support and see the differences in the space between them.

Check out this photo I took from the centerfield platform last week. I think they should re-mount the construction cam to this platform for a broader view for the remainder of the project.

Green dot for you

The cantilevers over the bleachers were never shown as continuous from the main grandstand. They will be at a different level. Since the first base and third base bleachers are different in placement and elevation the primary overhang will not be exactly symmetrical on both sides. However the cantilevers definitely extend down both lines to the end of the bleachers.

I'm willing to bet that's an optical illusion.

Never mind...what Cajun90 said.

If you look closely you will see that there are three full cantilever supports on each side before there is a pie shaped section of the roof. I would suspect that both sections are pretty close to the same length. The only difference being the column line spacing. I really don't think that it will make that much difference when you are sitting in the stands. Only two people MIGHT notice it during the game they being the center fielder for each team. I doubt that they will notice though.

I'm just very observant

Love me some green dots!
