The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

[BrockMeaux]

I hear your concerns... Don't they make something like that - that would look good also? I dunno. It was just a thought.

I know what you mean. Something like this, except nice. They even sell motorized versions, so it could be automatic, the Tigue equivalent of a retractable roof. I just don't know what baseballs hitting it would do; can't imagine it would be good.

The solution is to suck it up. Its baseball, its meant to be played and viewed in the sun. The p____ification of America has now infected our national pastime. Drink out the hosepipe and watch baseball in the sun! Just stay hydrated with some ice cold beer, we dont want anyone to pass out lol

That scaffolding on the third base side of the grand-stands looks like the bamboo scaffolding in Japan.

Yeah I think I'd rather be the guy working on the scaffolding platform behind the home plate side.

Net is up. One section to go

In a little over 48 hours these seats will be packed as the Ragin' Cajuns open the 2017 home slate at Russo Park against Southern Miss! #geauxcajuns #russopark #cajunsbaseball #aait #bestfansinamerica

The video answers the question as to how far the net extends down the lines. It covers half of each set of bleachers

For info purposes, the support poles are past the outfield fences.
