J.C. Love Field Construction

[johnnyb019]

I would have liked to seen something special also BUT I also want the dawgs back on the field sooner rather than later. It will have been almost 2 years since the tornado when the dawgs hit the field. The plan that's being built was available maybe 6 months after the tornado. That's with using "cookie cutter" parks to plan after. If a unique plan was created your looking at a 12 month planning period. So that now puts baseball back to hoping for a 2022 season. I think what is being built is awesome.. Would I have rather something unique....yes. It would have been different if the park was being built at a different location and the bulldogs had their home field they could play in until something else was built. That luxury just wasn't there. So I am excited with what's going there and cant wait to bring my kids to a ballgame. I have no complaints with the new facility at all. Go dawgs.

I think Adam addressed a lot of stuff we didn't have before. We went from an obsolete relic to a modern era college stadium. If we were given the opportunity to built it at a larger site, we would had more flexibility on layout.

The ball park is locked in on the corner of two major streets, a railroad behind it, and a fire lane that is necessary for the dorm (with no street access). A lot of limitation on space.

I have wrestled with how to respond to the posters who don't like what's being done with the baseball field. Many recent comments have kind of laid me low. But what I write in response ends up being too long. So I end up with this:

Most (all?) of you guys probably don't have enough facts to make the statements you've made. But make the accusations and demeaning comments you have. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm not going to be surprised if down the road you learn something about the processes and projects where you end up saying, "Oh, I didn't know "that" when I made this or that comment."

What is the appeal of running a situation down when, for crying out loud, we're getting tremendous facilities for about 50 cents on the dollar? People like Adam McGuirt have lived with this for months to come up with the best facilities possible. But you can't trust them to have an adequate brain in their collective heads to weigh the trade-offs and make the best choices? Do you seriously believe stadium seating didn't get painstakingly evaluated? Is posting a "knowledgeable" comment that important?

I'm taking a break until after the baseball stadium is open.

Tenacious

...TD, it's probably a really good idea for you to take that break you mentioned. Because you sound like you're taking this too personally. Please remember, you don't own this new stadium, and neither does Adam McGuirt. WE ALL DO! As LA Tech fans, LTAC members, season-ticket holders, athletic supporters and taxpayers, I like to think that we all have a financial and emotional stake in this endeavor. ...BECAUSE WE REALLY DO. So, please pardon me when I say I'm not concerned with you not liking my comment about the lack of seating in the new stadium, rather I'm more concerned that you took something so trivial, so personal. IMO, the seating issue is an obvious flaw, so it probably won't be the last time you hear it. So, buy yourself some ear muffs when those nasty Southern Miss fans come to town.
I
Also, I'm sure Adam McGuirt is a great guy. But if Adam wasn't doing this work, one of about 500 other people would be doing it. I'm sure Adam is not donating his time for free, he gets payed to be there. So, enough of that.

TD, I sincerely appreciate you as a loyal Tech fan, and as a good person. You also give a lot of good insight about many topics here on B&B. But please remember, we're talking about stadium seating here, not your personal house, or your family. We're all members of this Tech family, so I like to think that we can be candid with each other about what we like or don't like about the new stadium. And perhaps you're right; maybe at some point someone will likely mention something about the new stadium that we don't know today, and it just might change how we view everything.

Seating Chart is release

Drove by this morning. Rolls of turf for baseball field have been unloaded in the parking lot across the street from stadium.

Seating Chart is release

Not a true seating chart without individual seats being shown. Guess they want to hide the actual number of available seats as long as possible.

On the link on facebook page it take you to the page and it lists the exact number of seats available for each and the price.

I think those numbers are what's still available. The original release had a capacity of 2500.

Are you saying we have then already sold almost 1100? If so thats absolutely fantastic.

My parents got 4 third base chairback season tickets and our names will be on them. It was a family gift from my parents to me and my brother. That leads me to believe that the report is available seats, not total seats.

My information is that there are 1285 seats. 1031 home plate and 254 out by third base. The berm (standing, sitting, etc) is designated as general admission with a 75 person capacity. There are five canopy spots, each assigned a 10 person capacity. There is an ace in the hole though whereby the berm can be replaced by bleacher seats very easily if ever needed. Thus, just have to wait and see how many show up to tell whether or not a mistake was made.

Is this a COVID-related cap for 2021?

That berm seating down first base line seems unnecessary while keeping and upgrading the hill behind right field.

I can count the number of games that exceeded 1500 (actual) on one hand over the last 40 years...yeah we need 2000 plus seats. Looks bad to have empty seats in big games...see USM and Rice
