Alabamas baseball stadium is so weird

[wtw2400]

Idk where to begin. I went Thursday night. And the crowd was dead silent. You could only hear the cheers of the MSU fans while the bammers barely made a noise. They all seemed disintrested and wanted to be anywhere else. The Stadium is literally put right next to their basketball and football athletic building so parking is terrible. And they sell assigned seats when literally no one shows up. I am not saying it is completely garbage but its just Florida with a far superor facility. Compared to my trip to Alex Box last weekend, it is a complete joke. I live in Alabama and this was my first trip to this new stadium.

Idk something feels weird to me when i am sitting there. And it was not just the annoying light show(yes they turned on and off lights between the innings and it was supposed to be cool but it just annoyed me). Maybe its just that such a nice stadium has no atmosphere. To me the current Dudy Noble dominates this one. And so does Vanderbilts stadium.

Their announcers are even rooting for Jacob Robson to get off to a good start from his time off.

Surreal

Adding to be weirdness*

although the old DNF is on its last leg, it is still top 15 in the country which probably speaks more to our dedication to baseball than it does to the state of college baseball at this point. we love baseball...always will.

The left field lounge still makes it the best baseball venue in college baseball.

Wrigley Field is still the best baseball venue in MLB It is old....and out of date...geeese how is that?

we are about to become wrigley, fenway, yankee, petco, and camden yards all rolled into one....college baseball style. we are in a unique position and we need our athletic dept to deliver what we have seen based on the renderings...all this assuming the renderings are spot on. if not, we might be #1, but not by much.

If they paid $42mm for that, then we are getting ours for a bargain.

i think they were at 36 mil...at least thats the number i remember from my stadium analysis a few weeks ago.

I didn't go over there, but I was told no Alabama writers cover the games. The press box was just MSU guys this weekend. They just don't care about anything but football over there.

It's called Bryant Denney

Their announcers talked up MSU more than their own home team. Maybe they felt like they had to err on the side of the opponent to appear fair since it was a SEC sponsored telecast.

$42M is chump change for them.
