Upper deck seats above the current press box and suites are better seats than anything way the frick out in left behind the Pen.
I sat in the loge boxes this year. Kinda neat, but couldn't even tell who was pitching without looking at the scoreboard.

Nope, it’s gotta be a zip line.

I'd tell Dave we are expanding after the natty
Y'all talking about it being great for families. Please price out 4 tickets x 3 games + parking + food and drink. I get it's 3 games instead of 1 but it's the same cost as football at that point and only going one direction. And if you need a hotel for a big series forget it
We should also allow tailgating in the indoor track facility for February weekends. It would be an awesome experience few could match

I don’t think I’ve ever paid for parking at Baum, but I get it for those who can’t walk long distances.
I changed my season tickets to the Hog Pen chairbacks this year and figured I’m going to save quite a bit by bringing in our own cooler with drinks/snacks instead of buying them at the stadium so that’ll be nice.

Most working families are doing 2 games in a weekend. So $80 worth of tickets. Parking is free. Food and drink is up to the family.

The wife and I drove up from south ark to the Georgia game last year. (Saturday game) we had to use stub hub and sat behind the bull pen in left field. $407.68 for two tickets. Purchased month in advance. Should’ve waited till game day there were plenty available at game time for cheap

Not a lot of tickets going for $10 on weekend series. Maybe midweek

Hog pen face is that. Adding an upper deck, aka “cheap seats” would likely accommodate that price range.

Adding in an upper deck would cost millions. It would take a lot of $10 seats to recoup that

Yurachek will just ask donors to "answer the call".

There was quite a bit of pushback when ticket prices jumped a ton this last year
I bet they'll wait awhile on more

If we're building up let's build a parking deck too

Donation level jumped, not ticket prices specifically.

Not really. More donations are flowing into the program now more than ever before.
For some reason, all of your posts are pretty negative on a one of the cheapest major sports to attend on campus. Not sure what baseball player or administrator stole your milk, but let it go.
If it were me, tickets would be raised to $20/ticket, which is still well worth it and a bargain. Family of 4 can get into a game for $80.

Tyson Foods owns that little concrete building west of the scholarship parking lot. That'd be a great spot for one.
I'm not sure if gameday condos would work in that area, but build a parking garage wrapped on two sides with gameday rentals with balconies.

This has to be part of the plan as well. Parking at Baum is already a nightmare for SEC games.

I guess I never pay attention to parking because of parking pass. They still offer free parking I thought in the Baum East lot. Also parking at local business lots there too I think. Isnt there also parking on the opposite side off of Beechwood?
Regardless...I think you can easily add seats in the left field corner, outlined in red. Move the scoreboard back and make it taller...add seating behind right center that is between bullpen and batters eye. Issue there is going to be can you connect with a sidewalk or some sort of connection to main stadium. Next, I would look at digging into Hog pen and adding about 5-10 rows of seats in outlined area. You still keep Hog Pen, but they are scooted back a bit from outfield wall with seats being placed right behind outfield fence.

Something would definitely need done about concessions out in RF. That'd be a helluva long hike to grab a beer and peanuts.
They did take up quite a bit of free parking east of the stadium with a scholarship lot. And yes there is parking across from Beechwood.

Seems like you could cantilever some cheap-seats above the press-box almost as easy as some of those other options.
The left-field hot-tub area could be another loge area. There is demand for them, and there aren't very many right now. Or, it could be another 250 chairbacks. Whatever it takes to get us above 11k actual seats.
