It looks like there's still a lot of work to be done. We're what...11 days out from the home opener? Gonna be a close finish.

No finish until May. Look to use just seating in the grandstand.

I guess we can hope. But if I was a betting man I would put my money on it not being ready. Now when they start with the seats and they have maybe 50 employee's installing the seats,... just maybe.

Hey, Frenchie: I'll take your bet. We will be in the new Tigue for 03/03. You name the amount, and I'll take it.

First load of brick mortar just arrived. Should get a pretty good day of work in today.

Didn't say we would not be in the Tigue, I mean Russo Park, on March 3rd. I said that I don't think the seating will be ready. Also I said IF I was a betting man, which I am not. Had all angles covered........

The seating will be ready. They will put as many on that as needed to finish because it is one of the things that need to be done. If it was not going to be done, don't you think they would put more guys on it to finish it. All it takes is bolting seats down to the anchors, so it's not exactly a highly precise or skilled job. They should be able to throw a bunch of guys on it if it gets close

It appears this morning that the majority of the brackets are in place for the grandstand seating. Probably 10-12 workers in the grandstand area this morning. We should see actual seats going in before too long.
