So zero talk of renovations or a new baseball stadium? Does the administration not see the success financially and on the field that SC, LSU, Ole Miss, MSU and Arkansas have had over the last 5 years with baseball? UGA financially is killing it right now aren't they, wild there isn't any talk.

GT has a serious baseball following and they share the city.

That is extremely false.

Georgia Tech draws fewer fans than UGA does the vast majority of years. I know they are a smaller school, but they definitely don't have a serious following for a team that has been a consistent winner.

Some fans have wanted to blow up Foley and start fresh at a second location ( and turn the Foley location into an indoor practice facility). Me particularly.

There are 3 big ticket "needs" by the UGA Athletic Dept.
1) Foley (baseball)
2) Stegeman (basketball/gymnastics, etc)
3) In-door practice facility.

It appears that Foley will be given a renovation when it needs to be destroyed and a new facility built from scratch.
Just like Stegeman was just given a renovation when it needed to be destroyed and a new facility built from scratch.

Hurting things are attendance at events not named football. The AD has to make a leap of faith that fans will get excited and show up to support the teams.
