Expect more expansion of the stadium coming soon.

Van Horn said recently we could have 16,17k fans in the stadium.

I expect left field to connect to the new right field soon

It may be cool, but seems extremely unnecessary and I don't understand bragging about having a tunnel.

That's what someone without a tunnel would say

Everything looks awesome and well done but that tunnel is a giant WTF.

Why is arky so proud of that when the rest of the facility is awesome and the tunnel is clearly an afterthought?

Where is the trophy case with all those national championships? I must have missed it.

No, unfortunately, it's somewhere else.

I just think the tunnel is cool. Not necessarily proud of it. Besides as crazy as the weather is here, if a tornado popped up suddenly both teams could use it for shelter. If a down pour happens to spring up, the players would be dry all the way to the facility.

Or anybody else's in the league?


State has one. In fact, there is an entire premium concourse under the Stadium for the Triple Crown Club.

This reeks of insecurity. Then again, your entire fanbase somehow thinks Arkansas cultivated college baseball, so nothing really surprises me these days.

True, but frankly I'd rather have their season than ours. I know we're not supposed to admit that, but

That's probably why they won two new championship trophies to go along with the new facilities.

Reminds me of watching WWI&II documentaries.


Did the Blue Ray set include a documentary of the last aggy football title? It does fit from a chronological perspective.

No matter what yall do, if you don't fix the seating of the OF lines, it'll never be the best ballpark.

I'll also never understand why small parks don't stack the most fans right behind home where the best view is. Olsen has a ways to go (things are in the works), but it is one thing the original design got right.

I thought it was pretty bare too but it just got done so I'm sure they'll add things to the walls eventually.

This forces us to switch bullpens too which puts the visiting team RIGHT next to the Hog Pen. Should be fun for opposing pitchers warming up

For a while, I thought I was watching a sequel to the Green Mile.

The tunnel is to remind our players that the other team are dead men walking.

You're right. State fans totally haven't acted like Mississippi State baseball was God's gift to the SEC ever since Ron Polk spent 27 years to win 6 games in Omaha.
