RUSTON, La. - Baseball practice is a week away for Louisiana Tech but the team is already hard at work in trying to complete the facility improvement that are in store for the 2005 campaign.
The SQUAD began work on the picnic area in front of the stadium this week. A patio and picnic area will be built surrounded by a brick and wrought iron fence to enclose the area.
"We are hoping to have all of this done before we start practice next week," said Tech head coach Wade Simoneaux.
The chair back seating should be in place by the home opener on February 18th against Arkansas. The first four rows of the stadium will include chair back seats for the 2005 season along with chair back seats on both dugouts.
"We are also in the process of improving our sound system at J.C. Love Field to make our baseball games a better experience for all of our fans," Simoneaux said.
Tech opens practice on January 21st before opening the season on February 4th at McNeese state.
Season tickets are now on sale and those interested should contact the Tech ticket office at 257-3631.
