The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

They are all gone now. Such a beautiful day, they should be working until nightfall.
Heck, time to start burning the midnight oil.

I think it's that they have certain tasks that need to be completed for opening day and those are the things they are primarily focused on. If they are on schedule for those items, they don't need to be working overtime. And they've been going hard for a while now. Sometimes it's good to give the crew off a little early

I think everyone is aware it won't be 'completed' by March 3rd. It will be in 'playable' condition.
I guess the bricks are 'window dressing'!
Maybe they should hand out 'hard hats' to the first 500 fans. They could help finish the brick work and be in their seats by the 5th inning! Then at the 7th inning stretch they could walk around and admire their work!
Regardless, it is a work in progress. Tony has waited so long for this. Fans can be so impatient (including this one). A little inconvenience will be a small thing when all is said and done.

Masons on the site this morning. Probably going to make up for a lost day Tuesday.

Were would we be if not for the delay on starting this project? Would it have been finish by March 3rd? Were we six weeks behind schedule? So if this project should have be completed by March 3rd, at this point on it should be completed by April 12-13th. But if it was eight week behind schedule, than the completion would be the end of April......

I don't know if it would have been finished, somebody smarter than me will answer that, but it would be a whole hell of a lot closer than the utilitarian product we'll have for most of this season.

I'm sure it slows down project completion to allow the general public into portion of the site. They may have lost some efficiency by getting it ready for March 3 occupancy.... but definitely worth it.

Brick masons working today. I guess they will work until the rain stops them. I drove down South College extension and saw that they have all but one section of the seats installed.

Any thoughts on whether the job will slow down because they feel having the seating in place they don't have to push the construction as hard? Is there a completion date where a penalty is in place if not completed?

And they have four days to get those seats in. Five if you count Friday morning.
