The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

Excellent update. Thanks for that

Even if not entirely complete until the end of the year, I HOPE they do the reseating late March/Early April. I can't stand the suspense!

They could do reseating in March... assign specific seats... Once the process is complete and seats assigned, then they could convert from GA to assigned seating with a simple announcement - as soon as all seating areas are complete.

Nightmare scenario would be having to wait out the reseating until next year, IMHO.

That's really your nightmare scenario?

I don't know why this is such a big deal. The way it is now, if you paid for chairbacks, then you will be able to sit in the grandstand chairbacks, just not an assigned seat there. People with regular bleacher tickets will not be able to sit in the grandstand, same as normal. So it's not like all 4500 people will be trying to sit in the grandstands come first pitch. It is GA by seat type/area, not full open GA.

Think of the time before reseating simply as a trial period if you're in the grandstand. You'll be able to see how you like different areas then request those areas when the time comes, sooner or later

I haven't been told anything but have no reason to believe they would stray from the original plan so I would expect reseating to occur towards end of March.

Keep in mind 100% complete includes a lot. Much of which the average fan may not even notice.

This place will be much better than the old Tigue the first day we walk in and will only get better after that.

OK - I guess it could be much worse. LOL

"Will be a lot left to accomplish after the 3rd and probably won't see it 100% complete until close to the end of the season."

That's what I was figuring. Just hope everybody understands that.

Maybe this has been addressed already. Can anyone tell how far out the grandstand roof extends? Looks like the first few rows are not covered?

Difficult to say unless you can get right underneath it. Even looking from the front it is a little deceiving. If I had to guess It covers about 75% of the seats.

Can somebody straighten me out, please? I was told the grandstands will be open and fans seated opening weekend. Prior, I read the grandstands are not projected to open until late in the season, with only bleachers usable until May.

As mentioned by Cajun90 in his update yesterday, the grandstand seating will have to be open first pitch. The full stadium/reseating/suites will not likely be complete until late season (though they may do permanent reseating earlier)

Thank you. I don't know the bleacher seating capacity, but it's obviously not enough.
