Side note: I LOVE Coach Cann's enthusiasm for all things Mississippi State. He's done an amazing job endearing himself to fans in a short time.

How many coaches would actually take the time to do this? Or have the personality to pull it off like he does? He just seems like the nicest and most personable guy in the world.

I realize that this will get downvotes but I'd love to see a video episode where Cannizaro shows Polk the new stadium just to hear and see them talk about baseball...

Will Polk respond to every question with a letter from his typewriter?

Our old chairback count was 4,660.

So hopefully that's a sign that we've built with some extra capacity for growth.

Wow. Good Lord I'm excited. That's gonna be badass, and I'm glad previous AD's put this on the backburner. Otherwise I don't think it would be nearly as extravagant.

Things that concern me:
1) The inability of the new Dudy Noble to eclipse any attendance records that we've so proudly touted.
2) The old DNF seated 7,480 total (Skybox, Grandstand, Bleachers); do we have an expected seat total for the new Dudy Noble beyond the 5,400 chairbacks stated today?
3) Why didn't we want to bring dirt back to home plate. Seems un-American.

3 things

​1) 6 Pack needs to raise $5K to be listed on the Wall of Honor
2) Who are the two baseball statues? Pete Young and Burke Masters (ying and yang)
3) direct link to video is below:

Tremendous job in the updated plan! Our voice was heard on this and a concern was addressed before it was ever built. Somehow I personally managed to not notice that it was already included in the updated video and images the BDC released a month or more ago. I just checked that. Thx Michael, the first 12 are on me*

Coinz I feel like signage that says engie's 17 tiered berm would be a nice touch*

Now for a prediction -- that little section -- if grills and coolers are allowed there -- will be the most demanded section of the stadium by about ten fold. I suspect we see that idea grow to some other areas with time once/if demand bears that out...

Agreed if they do allow the grills and coolers there. It will be a fun spot to watch the game.

That is a really big assumption at this point...

The main concourse is about 500 ft long in the grandstand. That's room for ~ 1000 GA tickets that can still all see the game. And that's not even remotely stacking them in how we always have in the outfield where half the people can't see. You add another thousand in the berm areas and you are back to the same capacity as before around the grandstand area -- and you don't have ~ 3200 totally miserable people in that area like you had before...

We didn't lose any square footage inside the fence... and we probably added 30-40% more square footage with a sightline to the field...

Before the video started, I just assumed the other guy would do most of the talking.

i am pretty sure that they got their safety vests mixed up, though.

Aren't a lot of things on message boards based from assumptions? And- I'm ok with never reaching 15k attendance again if the results on the field turn into consistent SEC, Super Regionals, and CWS Titles.

"We didn't lose any square footage inside the fence... and we probably added 30-40% more square footage with a sightline to the field..."

I am really interested to see in the 2019 season if the number of people allowed to stand randomly in the 360deg concourse with sightline views will be equal to the same number of people who were purely general admission and didn't have an actual reserved seat in the old Dudy Noble Field.

That's where the concern was stemming from...

I don't see why they wouldn't be. The same amount of real estate still exists. It's not like we were selling tickets to people that could see the field well and had a good setup anytime we went north of 10k... 15k packed into the same area is still 15k packed into the same area... Only now they will have triple the concessions and bathrooms and actually a chance at being able to see the game and the whole field from relative comfort while standing... Rather than finding a gap between two trailers where you can see the batter...

Eta: Unless the fire marshall is a douche... and he has been previously. Was there when they went "one in one out" in the Clemson Super in 07...

To be honest, I

don't even care about getting these big crowds once or twice a year.

Id much rather get 10,000 or so every game, as opposed to one or two 13,000-15,000/season.

If I lived in Starkville, I'd take advantage of the Backstop Club option. When I was a student at State, my mother and father had season tickets and I invariably sat in Section F for a couple innings or so and then went to the Left Field Lounge.

He better hope Will James (or whatever his latest handle is) doesn't have one of those seats next to the dugout.

With sold out chairbacks, club levels, skyboxes, and LFL spots our season ticket sales will go way up, so our paid average attendance for the season might approach 10,000. Don't know if we can reach LSU's average (paid) attendance of 10,700. Maybe if we have enough 11-14k SEC Saturday crowds.
