The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

[cajun_lannister]

Not sure about the future, but you can see what might happen during week-end series. Work has stopped. Friday game 6:PM only getting ready for the first game at Russo. Sat. 1:PM game no work that day. Sunday the same. They are using heavy machinery and they will not be moving it in and out on game days. All this is what I anticipate. Let's hope I don't know what I am talking about. Disagree if you wish, but please don't kill the messenger.

It may prolong the completion by a few weeks but its better than playing at Lafy high

Robe basically said that himself this week. He said that when we play on the weekend we're basically taking three 24 hour shifts away from them. That's as expected and why it won't be done until closer to May

You've been pretty negative about this whole thing. Lighten up and enjoy what we're getting to witness and be apart of.

Like what? I hope they don't put permanent seats unless they swivel. It is nice to move the chairs around for the view which changes each game depending how many people are the adjacent box.

Just to let you know, I'm pretty sure a permanent type of seating is in the long term plan.

Blame Scott Farmer for every issue we have. When it comes down to it, it's his fault we are behind!!!

Anybody that attends the game tonight, and for the rest of the season, will have a place to sit, a place to pee and a place to eat. All three better than what was available last year and it will get only better the rest of the season. I predict there will be some that will find something to complain about. Why, I don't know, but there will be some. I don't think you will hear the coaches or the team complaining.

Good luck to the coaches and team. Lets hope they open the renovated stadium with a win. I will be listening on the radio as I always do as I do "stuff" around the house.

What time the gates open for the pee-ons. The elite are already in their seats.

I said don't kill the messenger RC10......you can disagree about what I say and wright a novel about it, but lay off me....I have been part of it for 38 years. I would think that gives me some options to lighten up and enjoy or go dark and complain on any subject I feel like.

Nothing to disagree about. It is what it is.

Still better then having to play at fudge packer field

I heard that the press box is going to be on the "third base" side. I've got a question. Do all stadiums put their press/announcers in that area? I was just wondering where would be the best viewpoint for an announcer to see the balls and strikes. I would have though right behind home plate? I'm guessing it might be better to view the pitches at an angle. just curious, thanks. Oh, and if anyone has any pics of the stadium from the game, that would be cool.
