It's a new center field entrance
44 more suites that'll expand into LF & RF
At the entrance of CF it will have fountain with a big razorback in the middle.

Notable: Additional club seating in left and right fields, a center field entrance and concourse that allows for “360 degree” access around the stadium. Would add about 44 new suites to the stadium.

Scroll down about half way. There are 3-4 pictures of the new upgrades of Baum.

I'm curious how the luxury boxes between the stadiums compare. The new facilities inside are what I think would set us apart, I just don't know what other SEC stadiums have.

I haven't gotten to a game this season...is the stadium still about 20 degrees colder than the ambient air temp?

Must agree it looks great, but it is located in what looks like a warehouse dristribution center

Yes, it's a real tragedy that we didn't demolish our old park, and build a single tier stadium so that it would look like every other new college or AA ball park. There's a reason that baseball parks evolved with the addition of upper decks.

I guess Braves Field must have been your favorite of all the classic major league parks (actually, I'm guessing that you think Dodger Stadium is one of the classic MLB parks since it dates from the 60s).

Our facilities received a major facelift when our stadium was renovated. Our locker room, meeting room, etc are very nice.

You're out of your damned mind. Top 5, but not higher.

I'll bite: what's wrong with the upper deck? It's not like it's far from the field.

Let's see. aTm's park has less total seats than Baum, a lower percentage of chairback seats than Baum, and less suites than Baum. Also, when aTm's brand new park just opened it had some seats with visibility of the mound blocked due to an oversight by park designers. And finally, it has bleachers. Baum hasn't has bleachers in the grandstand...ever.

A&M's stadium is super nice, but i seriously doubt that you can do any better than Arky, Ole Miss, State, LSU, or SC during a regional. Tell them to add some seats or suites and fans and maybe they can set themselves apart. Yeah right

They have a very nice park and what seems like a cool atmosphere. I have said it several times since they were announced as upcoming additions to the conference that I look forward to attending a game @ BBP (couldnt make this weekends trip unfortunately).

However, I don't think they have a better park than the top four stadiums ( OM, LSU, Ark, USC - the order of those four depends on your allegiance). But nonetheless, Blue Bell is a legit college baseball stadium.

No on State and Auburn. Yes otherwise.

This isn't a knock on Blue Bell. It's damn fine. Baum, Box, and Swayze are damn fine too. Those are definitely the top four in the conference.

I would say that Blue Bell is the "nicest" stadium in the SEC, that dosent make it the best though.
