Glad the baseball program gets to reap some of the benefits of the football monster.

Very, very needed. I'm excited for the program's future; now we just need to fire Gaspard like we should've done two years ago

Now all you have to do is field a team that can beat LSU, Vandy, Arky and Florida

Always have. Go look and see who has the second most SEC wins/titles in conference history.

30 million to plant some grass and put up some bleachers?



They are trying to preserve the grass, its a species not native to the area that has been growing there for a few hundred years.

$30 million would be, by far, the most expensive baseball stadium in the league.

Overkill IMHO.

Hey now, we won a game against all those teams last year, except for Florida because they were too scared to play us.

In all seriousness, I'm sure a new facility is part of that plan. But you probably already knew that.

I guess when your program lacks tradition, you can just tear down and start over.

Baum will be improved, not destroyed. Tradition.

Well they're technically calling it a "renovation," I guess because it's being built at the same site. So...tradition?

Just mean Saban wouldn't allow money to be spent on purchasing new land.

This is the same board that just rejected a new football stadium for UAB? Corruption starts at the top.

Who would build it?

The same people handling contracts in Iraq?
