one think that the box has, is the cover over the grandstand
players have good dressing room & meeting & lounge. also have trainers area & the in door practice area. for the most part sec teams, do not lack for good parks, if kentucky, tn & alabama want to play with the big boys they have to have it also, the kids expect it

Like I said, parts of Blue Bell look better. Too small right now to give the overall crown though.

the best thing really about blue bell is the brick backstop.

We built a very nice new baseball operations facility that's attached to the stadium also. I have no idea what other schools look like but ours looked really nice and I imagine it will help a great deal in recruiting.

Absolutely, it is sharp...one thing about Kentucky is the brick backstop and along the lines.

I'd say the purple seats at the New Box have the MLB park feel to them also.

The New Box has almost 4000 chairbacks in the Grandstand.

I love the brick backstop but the entrance is probably my favorite part. Walking up those stairs is awesome

the box and baum also destroy blue bell in suites with baum just having a ridiculous amount. but then baum has no home plate signature like the box and blue bell.

Good gawd man, that is incredible.

I am not trying to knock the Box, I just think Aggies have a great park...that bern along the lines I bet gets packed with students.

It's coming . Baum has some NICE upgrades coming in the next 2-3 years that'll give it some more character.

Let me try to dig them up for you. It's nothing big really, just adding some stuff here and there.

It definitely does, the Texas, Baylor and Rice games were all packed with students. The one complaint I have about the A&M baseball experience is we don't have an unofficial drinking and party area like so many other schools have. We used to have Aggie Alley (behind the left field fence where that TCU kid just dropped a bomb) but they cracked down it. Hopefully they will bring it back with the SEC baseball atmosphere next year.
