Good. Then let's update that helicam pic, qng001.

We need to build a bigger standing area at the corners of Alabama/Tech drive especially corner with donor lot. Wife and I walked that sidewalk and it has a narrow taper path around the corner (not wide enough for two way pedestrian traffic).

I have nothing to do with the Louisiana Helicam guy. Last time he visited Ruston for a photoshoot was end of March, I periodically check his twitter acct and see if he posted anything new (and repost his pics on BBB).

Dawgpix needs to learn how to point and click from a drone.

I’m not sure what the green area is behind the visitors dugout but at some point in time perhaps that can be made into permanent seating. In the meantime, if needed perhaps that paved area between the visitors dugout and their bullpen can have temporary bleachers set in.

Good gawd! Some of you will complain about anything and everything. Have you seen the new stadium, who needs sidewalks? Sheeesh! the next thing you will want are green seats, and Heaven forbid! a roof!

Not complaining but suggesting. I think the park is awesome.

I guess our goal is to routinely sell 1000 season tics? and then if that becomes routine we can add 500 seats to accommodate single game tics?
In the old stadium it was advertised to seat 3000 - which rarely reached 80% capacity so I get the concept of having a quaint seemingly full environment. This year is an anomaly in that season tic sells momentum was defused by Covid so we will never have an opportunity for a full stadium, so true demand to capacity cant be measured. Still seems to me we shot a little low with seat capacity.

Chairback seating capacity is 1700 and change. Take 50% of that plus 50% of the tailgate and berm seating gets you to the 1000 currently set.

Which has actually been closer to 2000 for many games.

I have forgotten more about baseball than either of you clowns will ever know. Heck! bet you didn't know I was an all-star 2nd baseman in the Pony League and later coached that age division when my two sons played....so, there!

I understand, and it is a good suggestion. I was just acting as the "rose-colored glasses" police do on this forum and bashing you for daring to suggest that, Oh my! things are not absolutely perfect with the new stadium.
