In getting ready for the series tonight, I was looking at tickets (seeing if it sold out yet, not quite) and checked out UF's field. I knew it wasn't supposed to be anything special, but had never really looked into it. I have to say it really isn't anything special. No premium seating, no shade, and some not so great sight lines down the LF line. Now this isn't meant to be a shite talking/troll thread. Obviously UF's program is legit and I am generally curious if there are any plans for renovation.

It's a dump and also facing the wrong direction. There aren't any plans to renovate it right now since we're currently remodeling the O Dome and Foley is a cheap bastard.

Damn that is truly terrible.. The off white scorers box with the 6 flags monument on top is awful.

Just a thought to the Gator fans...try suggesting to Foley that he convert McKethan to the new home of UF softball, since a new stadium for that sport is needed anyways...
From this...
to this...
..and then build a new, state-of-art baseball stadium where the softball stadium is now. Just make sure to orient the stands to the NE or NW this time.
Problem(s) solved. You're welcome!

It matches the surrounding area very well, would be out of place if they changed too much.

It has taken McGarity 5+ years just to shake off the cheapness of Foley. But when Florida wins like it does across the board, who gives a shite about updating facilities

They need an overhang for shade in the worst way. I was there in 2012 for the duper regionals when the gators hosted Mississippi state. All 3 games were noon first pitch and it was mid 90's the metal bleachers were so dang hot
