Just wondering if there’s a plaque or something showing remembrance of the old box.

You can go over to the current stadium and see the bleachers that used to be there.

The Bleachers have AB magic in them…………it’s the only reason they’re still there.

You can come to my place. I’ve got 2 old chairbacks from the original Box that I watch all the games from.

I remember in 87. Against Tulane at home. Joey hit two moonshots to centerfield deep over fence.

Sadly no, I worked out roughly where home plate was via goggle maps, right in the middle of the parking lot, no plaque or maker of any kind

I remember Todd Linden hit one so hard in a regional, I swear it landed in the AD’s office across Nicholson.
