Tearing it down & starting from scratch would be a good start, IMO.





Then build this...

Expand the student section at swayze, build a permanent concession stand by the bathrooms behind the center field wall. Bring in swipe machines that accepts ole miss flex dollars from your ole miss ID. That would be all I would do right now.

Bring back Aggie Alley (kegs over left field fence, smokers, and tailgaiting)

A CWS banner

Eventually, outfield seating.

Getting rid of our metal bleachers in right and left and putting in nice chair backs

I have been on the waiting list for chair backs for 10 years. I usually buy season tickets from folks that don't go for one reason or another.I agree with you on extending the chair backs down the right and left but I just don't see it happening until the attendance gets back to where it was. Folks buy tickets every year to keep them but don't come. Sad, really.

you googled "tear down foley field" didn't you

Foley, as is, isn't horrible, just terribly underwhelming

This (right field/Kudzu Hill/Gordo's Greenhouse) needs to be made the student-friendly area


Need expansion down the third base line (maybe even tear up the left field tree things and parking lot out there to make that an actual part of the park)


Expand down first base line


Other option is tear it down and put home plate in the current right field corner, eliminating Kudzu Hill and the Houses like heeya (not a fan of this option

More seating and a more enthusiastic and dedicated fan base.

We hardly ever break 6k and I think the official capacity is around there, too.

Hell of a facade, though. That's about it, IMO. We only have like 10 suites (compared to Arky's 658) and our upper-deck doesn't have all chair-backs.

Look at me, though. Just another Aggie looking to bitch about something.

Hopefully with the SEC move (and a great recent run including hopefully 2 straight trips to Omaha) we will get increased interest in baseball. Expansion down the line over the berms should be pretty easy I think. I'd like to see us take that next step up from a top 10-15 fanbase to the Ole Miss/State/Arkansas level of dedication.

I also second Aggie Alley. I want a true unofficial party area again and that's the obvious place

UF needs shade and air conditioned seats. And beer.

Both would be great but I would settle for beer.

We had any bammers say a match and some gasoline?

If not, that's my suggestion.

A match and lots of gasoline.

It's complete for now, but the way they renovated it makes it easy to change things on the fly. Its small, but it doesn't need to be any bigger right now and the inside is very nice.
