TIGUE UPDATE?

FWIW: I drove around the Tigue at around 2pm today. All the fencing around Lourdes Park is down. There were about 6-8 guys working on the electrical stuff....could've been more that I didn't see.

The most interesting thing to me is that there is now a tall construction fence blocking off Reinhardt Dr. It starts right before the ticket booth, going to the big oak across the street from the booth. In other words, everything from, and including the ticket booth (Cajun courts, the IPF/APC and the Cox building) is no longer accessible from Reinhardt.

Seems to me that this is pretty drastic, and they would not have done it if they felt there were any chance whatsoever that the full project would not be about ready to start.

I am certainly happy to see the fence go up but there are kids camps going on at Cajun field and the tigue....regardless of what is actually going on but Fir liability wise this should have been done when the first machine was fired up and electric work.

Plan B

So, the recent meetings allegedly held among the board and TJoe were in fact about money, but not about the donation that was being pulled? I assume they were meeting to discuss the increased cost? Would these things not have been ironed out well in advance of starting this project? Did we decide while the supers were being played that we wanted to add things to the project? Something doesn't add up.

Also,if what BJ is saying is true, there sure was a lot of misinformation put on this forum.

Well, everything done so far (tearing up the parking lot and kiosk, demo work on the Lourdes park) was blocked off before/during the work.....so there wasn't a liability issue so far.

This new fencing would only be needed if the next, big part of the project (tearing down the grandstand, constructing a new one, etc.) was starting.

I wouldn't call it misinformation but confusion about the information given. From my perspective it would seem there were two separate issues that were combined into one.

The Lourdes park fence has been laying on the ground... An 8 year old could easily find his way in there...they still need to put up more fence...you can still go around it around the back side of the tree

There is still no NTP signed and the people that were concerned are still concerned. If anyone thinks we would risking playing half or entire season at fabaucher or on the road over $250k is kidding themselves.
