USM baseball renovations…

Their 10 fans should fit nicely on that deck above the 1st base dugout.

 

[Bulldog45]

Good for them and I’ve got no problem with them helping solidify Mississippi as the college baseball capital of the world.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

This is actually pretty good

Southern Miss might have a Top 10^^ stadium in the country

^^Excluding SEC schools of course

 

[Shmuley]

I would actually go watch some baseball at that venue.

 

[00Dawg]

If I was a USM fan, I'd be beating down the door for one of those tailgating slots. That speaks to me on so many levels.

 

[Xenomorph]

The entrance area behind first base seems like a really premium area to put a big, flat, SRO space.

Otherwise, that will be the nicest G6 baseball stadium in the country.

I have no idea why so many of our fans fight back against this idea.

 

[RiceDawg]

our annual February loss to them will now take place in a nicer facility***

 

[Xenomorph]

After looking at the renders on a big screen..

1) The batters eye in center field is comically small will not end up in that configuration.

2) USM is about to build the 2nd nicest ballpark in MS.

Musk is gonna have to build a few more data centers because AI is working overtime to make those stadium renderings seem full

Except you won't be able to get a ticket when we're playing, they always hold out on us.

You mean the parking lot in RF sponsored by Sonic Drive In?

 

[Colonel Angus.sixpack]

Hopefully they can skim another government welfare program to fund building it.

SNAP Field at Pete Taylor Park has a nice ring to it.

 

[skip dog]

that's cute........

No seriously, good for them, I hope they can pull it off! I love the competition from the Golden Buzzards

 

[quickstrike2]

I am happy for them, but somewhat skeptical that they can afford it. They are currently doing a basketball facility improvement and I have to imagine funds are tight.

I do! The Diamond Darlings deliver your order on roller skates.

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

Field of Dreams: The Sequel?

 

[MStateDawg]

It looks pretty good, but the official announcement says it "marks the beginning of a fundraising effort to help bring the proposed improvements". I doubt the actual renovations will live up to these renderings. Just look their basketball arena. It's fallen well short of the renderings they initially released years ago when they started talking about renovations to it.

 

[Colonel Angus.sixpack]

You know who has shockingly decent facilities for a Sunbelt team? ULL. No clue how they pay for it because it ain’t coming from ticket sales.

Because they are operating at a huge deficit.

I agree with this. Times are just tough in the college world. All available money needs to go to NIL and coaching salaries to get players and coaches. I would doubt that the "Master Plan" that MSU released a few years ago for facilities has much life either.

 

[JackShephard]

I have no idea

Mississippi State

P.S. - although the Hump renovations aren't bad but they don't match what the initial renderings showed.

 

[Called3rdstrikedawg]

The best D II STADIUM IN THR COUNTRY IN 5 years!

 

[Theconnormead]

Good for them and their fans. Have been to several games there over the last several years, they have a loyal and passionate fanbase.

 

[OG Goat Holder]

You all making fun of them sound like Ole Miss folks talking down to us

 

[Predestined]

I would actually go watch some baseball at that venue

Not if USM was involved

 

[BossDawg78]

I have no idea why so many of our fans fight back against this idea.

They just know that USM and OM are desperately trying to steal State's thunder and especially State's baseball "atmosphere." State put it all on the map. Wanting to be a "baseball state" is something their fans couldn't care less about and some typical "gosh darnit we can share it" State fan defeatist mindset trash.

 

[leeinator]

Super! More and better seats for us Dog fans to fill up the stadium for them.

 

[HotMop]

It looks like 4 different stadiums peaced together.

 

[Wesson Bulldog]

It'll never be finished on time.

 

[FactCheckerBot]

Fact:

You beat me to this joke. Hat tip to you, good sir.

 

[Dawgbite]

WTF is that behind the batters eye, a whiffle ball field?

 

[Bulldog45]

I think so. Pretty cool actually.

 

[Dawg Raid]

Some southern Miss fan said $25 million, I said we paid more for a 5-7 football roster
