The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

[MelRock]

Is there going to be an elevator? If so, where will it be located?

There are actually two elevator shafts being build but only one will have an elevator to start out. I believe the operational one will be on the 3rd base side, but I could be wrong.

I'm trying to find my seat...

Helmut,

What is your confidence level as of now for completion by the target date?

They have a lot to do. The stadium will have the MINIMUM to support life safety and health issues when they open it up for the first games of the season. DO NOT EXPECT A FINISHED PRODUCT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON.

I do not expect to be sitting in my grandstand seats for the first home game, Mar. 3rd. (34 days) Nor any time in March. Having the stands ready is one thing, they will also have to have the grounds ready for entry. The structure behind the bleachers can wait. Fous all the energy on the grandstands and entry to the stadium. Helmut, in your opinion, what is your guess on what I stated about not being ready anytime in March.

---maybe it was just a slip, but I think she mentioned that all seats would be in the bleachers and no grand stand---any truth to this???

I'm thinking general admissio instead of grandstand. When a new season ticket holder comes on board they may not be able to get the grandstand if they're not well pointed.

From what I understand the stadium will be used for the first home game so it will be ready in March. However, there will be plenty of work to be done. I also understand that they will have temporary rest room and concession facilities. That means that the structure under construction now will not be completed and ready for permanent occupancy at that time. I don't know the schedule so I don't know how much having the games played at home will hold up construction. They will have to arrange for temporary entrance and exit, that is safe and separates the construction from the general public. All of this will take time from construction.

It will be interesting to see how they get the score board up and running with no press box.
