The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

[wcd35]

they better get moving. How many layers are the layng before stopping to let the mortar set?

I don't know that bricks will be done by next Friday (just superficial anyway.) I also don't think the mortar setting is holding them up. There's just a lot of square footage to cover and they can move from place to place depending on where the scaffolding is. Also, we can't really see the 1st base side to know how far along that is

I'm not sitting on the bricks ... you get me 2 chairs, some beer and a place to deposit the unused portion and I am a happy guy!

I think this has already started: a friend of mine was not an RCAF donor in 2016, and when he bought his MBB season tickets right before the opener he was told that he had to also give at least $250 to RCAF in addition to the tickets. That is one time thing though, once you are a member @ at least $250 for the year, you can then buy any/all the other season tickets you want, without having to give another donation to the RCAF. I think that's a good thing.

Thats because his seats were in the $250 RCAF level areas. There are currently other areas that require less or more, but you can also sit in areas (behind baskets) that do not require an RCAF donation. Starting next season all of Tigue Moore Field will require at least a donation level of $100. Chances are chairbacks will reguire at least $250. And I would suspect the Supreme Rice Field Club will require the $500 level.

In that drone footage, it looks like they were framing the 1st base side entrance ramp and steps when it was shot 2 days ago.

You can also tell that they definitely connect the bleachers to the grandstand at the bottom and the top. So you will be able to go all the way around the stadium in the stands

You can also see some cables hanging down from the roof. I'm assuming that will be for the netting

Yeah, our seats are in the lower part of sect 122, so that makes sense. Thanks for the info.

No way. Tuesday will be a challenge with all the Mardi Gras crap going on at the parking lot.

Hey ul-m, look what my tickets say.........

[wcd35]

They have crews laying brick on both sets of scaffolding because both have been going up today. Looks like they'll be up to the first openings on the whole backside today

I dont see any activity on the outside of the stadium. Hopefully some work is at least going on inside.
