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.

meansonny, LSU pre Skip drew crowds of 300-400, on good days. Back then, it was all football, with just a dash of basketball. But Skip had an AD who understood that baseball could be revenue producing & gave him the support necessary. Because Broadhead knew Skip was the coach who could make it work, knowing Skip when both were down in Fla. It can be done, with the right athletic dept support.

What was UGA's average attendance from like 04-08 when they made 3 CWS trips during those times? I could see UGA averaging 5k with a new ballpark or renovated old one. Actually love the spot its at now with the Ivy in right but could understand new location with state of the art everything!
