Doesn't matter until we get some shade. I am hoping that Foley's football spending spree bleeds to baseball and basket ball.


Basketball is coming very soon. $60 million renovation to O'Dome starting in a month and expansion of the weight room in the summer.

I don't know why they've never put a shade structure up, it would change the look of the whole place. It would be great if they would add an upper concourse as well, it wouldn't cost much at all.

Scoreboard went in last year with the kudzu hill improvements. Personally I'm hoping they connect that new area to the actual stadium itself (wrap it behind the bullpen somehow).

Also, any idea how to purchase tickets or entry into that dugout level? Is it season ticket holders only?

That dugout level looks like suites to me.

Same here, but the renderings of the interior make it look like a communal area. There's not much info on them online that I could find

Looks good. That place was a hot mess last time I went, especially right field.

I need to know as well.

My main stay will be Kudzu Hill though. I'll have to use my roommates ID to get in the main stands. Maybe I can find out Friday.

What is there now isn't remotely close to Kudzu Hill, I understand modernization but it's sad to see what's become from such a great UGA experience.

Also, do you only have to show an ID to get in there?

I'm pretty sure Kudzu Hill is still free for anyone, unless they changed it this season.

It did look more unique. They could've kept the hill wild and just did the rest as they did.

Basically they dissolved the hill from being fan friendly. Kinda upsets me.

Before Fuhrer Adams went wild on teh place you could carry coolers up there and party. Kinda like how one of the MS schools (can't remember which one) does, only without the organization. Take a chair up onto a hill and get trashed, that's how it should still be.

Those the days during undergrad.

I'm curious if they're going to allow fans on the walls. Last year there wasn't a big enough crowd ever to really make an impact, or for any reason to climb the wall and sit.

Who knows. It could be part of a master plan. There may be plans to build out RF into actual stands bc what they have now are just simple foldable bleachers

Auburn did the same thing years ago to the hill in right-center. Take coolers of beer, grills, have your dogs running around out there. Was awesome.


Now they've got people hanging over the side of a freaking parking deck behind the third base line.

Found a pic from years ago when I was at AU with people gathered in the background.



Now, it's this:


And the outfield hill is gone.
