Or just cement him stiff and use the gap between his chipmunk teeth to paint the foul lines before each game.

My Sis-in-law is the "Senior Architect/Senior Planner" for Populous on this upgrade.

Does it include a sound proof booth for the "whistlers"?

It looks very unique. Can’t wait to go to a game there.

That's the only thing I dislike about our stadium but it's right field short porch. I have no clue why they did that because there was room to move the Pavilion 15 feet.

Looks nice and the football renovation will be cool too.

I don’t find fault with any of the slams directed at the whistler. I can’t stand him either.

Listen, I don’t like artificial turf either but it rains quite a bit in Nashville in the springtime and we used to have a lot of rainouts and delays.

Hawkins Field Upgrades

All those upgrades just to be swept by the Vols. Maybe you should consider renaming it as well since UT has owned you of late.

Maybe you should name all your upgrades after Dave Van Horn then….



Nice job Vandy….

Looks fantastic.

Kind of vague description of the multi-purpose building, though.

Artificial turf = thumbs down for me


Why would people downvote this? Artificial turf should be fricking illegal in baseball.

I’ve heard rumors it’s going to be a restaurant but it hasn’t been confirmed.
