But keep in mind this isn't what they're proposing. We had a capacity of 1,274 plus SRO. They're proposing 1,300 to 1,500 permanent seats plus berm seating of approximately 1,000.Quote:

We have seen a "wish list" but nothing definite until funding is in place, which it is not. Did everyone notice funding will be provided by fema, insurance, state, AND philanery AND donations? Notice the cost is deliberately being kept confidential?Quote:

This had to be done now just like it had to be done at a certain time before the DAC and Press Box actually began. No need panic. Adam is on top of things.Quote:

I was not sold on keeping the field in the current location but these plans are fantastic and think it is going to be great. I love the drawings and how it kind of reminds you of the old with the shape and overhang.
More of the brick coming down today.

Thanks Johnnyb!
Question for those who have a long history of attending games. Most of you noticed that he RF area view changed last year after the RR decided to thin out the trees (what I was told). It looked different and not good IMO. Should we try to save to two (?) remaining trees in Right or are they already schedule to be taken down?
Kinda looks like ULM campus now.Quote:

Some of the seats, under the roof were destroyed. They are also hesitant to go into that area now, since they are ridding the asbestos. It is also my understanding, that they don’t want workers under the area of the roof, since it could be unstable.Quote:
