I hope that is not what they are building because it is not enough shade. Why do something half-assed?

Those renderings are just concepts right now. They don't have a final design yet for anything. But yea I hope they don't just half-arse the baseball stadium.

All of this is great, shortly the Swamp it's self is going to need a renovation. South end zone and East side looking pretty rough from the outside and under the stands.

Yeah we need the whole thing under shade. Out here in Dallas, the Rangers are dealing with that issue now and about to spend a blazillion dollars on a roof or new stadium. We have one of the best baseball programs in the country now and we need to give them the proper facilities. I will be so glad to see Foley gone for this reason alone. It doesn't make any sense to be this frugal when you have to turn right back around and spend more money.
