Got SRO tix for Saturday and ended up watching from the 1B side concourse and then sitting on the 1B side of behind home from the 7th on.


Really nice park. Great site lines, beautiful design, big arse scoreboard. I think it would have been nicer to have chair backs all the way down the baselines, but that's the only knock. Overall, a great place to watch some college baseball. Congrats.

I agree with this. However, the chairback rental bullshite will probably make its way to the box soon.

Thanks, glad you had a good time. If I was in charge, I would make the following changes to the box, though:


-extend suites (which is already set to be done)
-replaces bleachers with chairbacks down the lines
-replace batter's eye in center with permanent batter's eye wall
-raise scoreboard
-eliminate current left field old bleachers
-add 3 sets of new bleachers in left field that match the bleachers in right field
-add 1 set of bleachers in right-center so the 3 sets of bleachers go all the way from foul pole to batter's eye
-so basically beyond the outfield wall everything would by symmetrical...identical bleachers wrapping the outfield wall and centerfield batter's eye

i agree. from first base to third base the park is pretty much unmatched.

in my opinion.
