Foul poles at Alex Box,,,,

would be nice, but we'll be fine without them. I want to see those crossbeams next to the suites gone first.

wow--too much time on your hands

I just think the premier baseball program in the country can put up decent foul poles, which along with the turf itself are two of the most important components of any baseball stadium.

The foul poles in the New Box are rinky dink.


The most important things to do at the new box (in order):

1. Permanent batter's eye
2. Something in right field (stands/berm/Intimidator or some combination of the three)
3. Normal foul poles
4. New bleachers for left field (use the same kind of bleachers that they put in right field when they do RF)
5. Additional suites to complete the grandstand (which are already in the works and plans, just a couple of years away)

Remember that Rosenblatt is a ballpark primarily for a AAA club and the College World Series. It is not home to a collegiate team.

most college stadiums have short foul poles

South Carolina


Arkansas


Ole Miss

Man, I really never thought Arkansas's stadium was that big. I know it holds more than Alex Box, but is it the picture or is it really that big looking.

The outfield fence still needs to be repaired. It was blown down by a storm not long after the new Box opened.

obviously, he who has the smaller pole in the SEC wins!

Otta hold 10k when the suites are completed?

While they're at it, it would be nice if they put rail and some screen in front of the dugouts too.
