J.C. Love Field Construction

From what I can see, it looks like the new facilities in Ruston will be very nice.

Other facilities in Louisiana.

I think this was a T-Mac call basically and maybe a Davison and other big booster call

My main problem with the blue and red over the green (outside of baseball tradition) is the fade factor on the seats after a period of time - basically to pink and light blue

Like I've said - out side of that, I think they got the ballpark right

No complete overhang doesn't bother

Egress and access seem much improved

Concession and bathroom facility much improved

True seating much improved

Amenities for players - no comparison

Just to give folks a taste of what Major League Ball Parks have traditionally looked like with seat colors, below is a quick sample of the color of seats for various big time ball parks. Surprisingly, it appears that most of the newer stadiums are going with green seating, most likely to soften the "fading" issue that Dwayne referred to. However, as you will see, many of the "blue blood" franchises have gone with more team colors instead.

Yankee Stadium - Blue seats

I can tell you from experience, Fenway gets HOT in the summer on the first base side for about the first 20 rows. The wife and I went to a July 4 day game there about 10 years ago. We ended up moving up under the over hang in about the 6th inning.

One thing I like about Fenway that I've never seen anywhere else are the small sports "bleacher" bars under the stands, out in the stadium concourse that circles the stadium. Complete with TV's covering the Sox game inside. They are tough seats to get, but I love those.
