Team board, and if that upsets you, help board.

Mizzou fans are the worse. Small penis syndrome.

Must suck that local CoMo highscools have better facilities for baseball then your little league Cracker Jack box.

I think it's cool. Ignore the Mizzou fans, they all suck. Terrible mistake bringing them into the conference. They just don't fit in at all. Probably all communists.

Not sure about elite
Looks like less actual seats than The Cliff and trying to figure where all the money went.
Have you been over there yet Mike?
Cliff is gone and it is set in the ground so it will get cold when it is cold.
Looks like there will be no close parking and if SEC overlaps softball and baseball again next season parking will be piss poor.

Barnhart has done such a good job with improving our facilities.

The new stadium is incredible. With the bern seating, it holds much more then the Cliff. When you walk in, it has an big league feel to it. Also, tons of parking...easier to get in and out compared to the Cliff.

This is their stadium. No wonder he’s mad

I love the reaction of the players. Lol every one of them pulled out their iphones at the same time to video it all. You can tell they were very excited. It really is impressive.

Have you been inside yet Mike?
Looks like fewer chair backs and on both sides looks like cut rock seating which is going to be uncomfortable to sit on for 3 hours. The Cliff is gone as is close proximity parking. Granted the lot near the entrance and Cliff parking was somewhat limited but it was close and having that structure close by really came in handy. Lots of older retirees attend baseball and that shuttle system does not work well just as going up and down stairs is tougher.
May not seem like a big deal but with the jump in prices it will be the retirees are the only ones who will afford the tickets.
While The Cliff may have been free, it helped getting some crowds on the days when the rest of the stadium was dead.
Sure they have more corporate type seating but those are usually the most fair weather fans. Word is they moved the families and scouts out of the first 3 rows and like the football, they broke up long time seating groups so 20 and 30 years fans no longer sit next to each other.
Great they have new facilities but if higher prices mean fewer future fans how will that help. Just before Rome fell the Emperor and a few folks had great seats but the rest of the place was empty because they priced the public out. We are already seeing this happen at college and pro venues and it will get worse the more they spend above the mean.
If you now have Club seats great for you, but you will not fill the rest of the stadium if it is all about the club seats.

Been by the left outfield line...it is big time! There will be plenty of standing room on the walkway upon the hill around the fence. The tiered grass area is going to be awesome spot on 1st and 3rd basemen lines.
You can get a season pass for all Olympic sports plus softball and baseball for $50. That is a steal. I’ll miss the Party Deck, but I am sure the crew already has a spot. I can not hardly wait to go out for the fall series to see them and the stadium.

Very nice stadium. Can’t wait to watch them hang up all those championship banners

Very nice! My youngest played against Chris Machemer @ 14u, he was sitting high 88-89 all day.

Gramps my arse, you're probably just as old or older than I am.
