How would you build in shade for fans from the north superstructure of south-facing ballpark?Quote:

There was always afternoon shade from home plate down first base. Also the upper seats on the third base side had shade.Quote:

Which there will be more of when playing on plastic grass.Quote:

Indeed. Caveat, the vast, vast majority were spent in right field. Student days...Quote:

I don’t think Tech dropped the ball, and yes, the stadium is what is. IT IS still under construction.
We are headed for later start dates to the season. At some point in the near future J.C. Love Field will be in use well into June. We aren't the only fanbase that's going to be begging for shade.

For many years I heard it from some of our biggest boosters....how nice it was to have that canopy later in the season.Quote:
