J.C. Love Field Construction

I understand it's necessary for progress, but I hate seeing all of these trees being cut down. I hope they're able to plant a lot of new ones.

Hopefully something other than pine trees.

Oh, don't be dissing on pine trees! They are the backbone of an important industry in our region. Besides, have to have some pine trees around in case Hawaii ever returns to Ruston for a game. And, good landscaping can include pine trees as a backdrop against which other species can be planted. What screams "this is the South!" better than Dogwoods under pine trees!? (and throw in some azaleas too)

Yes, the good ole Quercus virginiana too.

Is anything noticeable going on at the ballpark construction-wise?

The last post looked like they were still in the dirt moving process at both locations. Makes sense that they could do that and keep the governor happy with his goofy social distance mandates.

....I don't know, but the construction workers are working 90 miles an hour a day, here in Texas, down the street from me. I think about ya'll in Louisiana every time I go by there.

Hey folks! we have a trench!

And that second photo...how much the campus has changed over the years, since I was a student there. Back in the day, that photo angle would have shown Love Stadium, with Carruthers and Nielson dorms...and the ICBM rocket...in the background. Now, there is nothing.

Good stuff. But I would love to see a shot of this complex from the top of the northeast corner of JAS. That would really put the scale of this project into perspective.

Here are some pics from 04/21/20. There also looked like some cement truck getting ready to go in when I passed by.

But! great things are ahead for this location!
