Looks good.
We're finally planning to renovate our high school esque stadium.



Finally some cover at least.

Still looks awful. How can a school with so much have such terrible venues?

I guess the scoreboard looks good but it's hard for me to be a fan of the Vandy field. I just don't like the short LF with high wall and not a big fan of the sports turf for baseball. I suppose the weather requires it but I don't care for it. We have it around the edges and down the foul lines at our place but that's mostly for maintenance and it's hard to get grass to last through the season on those high traffic spots.

It looks nice, but isn't baseball season just less than two weeks away from starting? Will it all be finished by then??

Talking about baseball renovations makes me hate Greg McGarity

It is just a conceptual rendering at this point, they still have hire the architect. I'm a fan of the look of the stands and the interior portions they've planned out, but the exterior concourse needs substantial improvement. Stricklin is on top of it.

Because Foley was a cheap bastard and we had like a 10 year freeze on renovations.

Dear Vandy, please build the whistler a designated seating area outside of the stadium.

As a former baseball player, I couldn't disagree with you more on the sports turf. Loved the artificial infields.

Looks good Dores. Auburn put in new seats this year and made our board all video capable. They also added three smaller boards around the field with count and outs on it.

I'm pumped for the season to start.

I can't stand this guy. I literally get a headache listening to him, not to mention he distracts our own batters. I think the guy is a plant. From which team I do not know?

Was the goal to look EXACTLY like Dudy Noble here? Redo that second picture in maroon seatbacks and concrete in white and you could not distinguish the two.
