Yeah that first picture isn’t improvements that’s just a entirely new stadium. Even the 2nd picture doesn’t address the #1 concern which is the bullpens.

LOL, if this stadium actually existed it would be empty for all but like 6 regular season games.

That looks like a really nice MLB stadium.

The fact that even the AI knows the construction won't be ready in time is next level shite

My wishlist would be:

1. Bullpens out of play
2. replace all bleachers with chairbacks.
3. Extend left field seats all the way to batters eye and replace right field stands with a partydeck/beer garden type area along with a student section BUT NOT A BERM.
4. Extend concourse to where you can walk around the entire stadium.
5. Extend suites to foul poles.

They HAVE to see how much of a hit these types of things are at other stadiums.

It would be cool to have something similar to the home run porch at Dell Diamond in Round Rock, even on a smaller scale

Not only that it is void of features that we need, we need casual seating, a berm, some type of grilling...hang out areas. Look baseball is a slow sport, thinking you are going to get 15k people to come just sit for 3 hours is not realistic. Someone needs to think out side of the box and introduces some of the cooler concepts to the stadium experience.

Nope. Berms are overrated and lazy.

Inside a ballpark? Why? Some of you take this whole "we are the world's greatest cooks and tailgaters" bit to a level of dumb sometimes.

Way too big for a college baseball stadium. Going bigger than you can fill isn't always a good thing as we've seen with a lot of football stadiums in recent years

Those pics don't have shaded seats.

My wishlist is simply to build out the stadium the same way they did from 1st base to 3rd base all the way down the left and right foul lines and curve around the left outfield section as well . This would provide shaded seatback chairs with a walking concourse for standing room admission from foul pole to foul pole.

People that have em sure seem to have alot of folks hanging out on them.

I dont care what the concept is, but something aside from more seats. I dont care about chairbacks, I have no problem with bleacher seating.

What it doesn't look like is Skip's vision of cheapness
