Thoughts on new Dudy Noble after this weekend?
- Thread starter Duke Humphrey
- Start date
Didn’t see any major issues. Some folks are gonna have fun by the visitors’ bullpen through the years.
The lack of good concessions is magnified at a double header. If you don’t bring food in or know someone in LFL, your looking at hot dog or little caesars for two meals. Thanks know things were screwed up this year with Aramark and outside vendors. But how hard would it be to have some hamburgers or chicken sandwiches available.

Very minor, but did anyone else realize how close together the Dudy Noble Field lettering is on the center field wall? I love the font and color, but it looks like one big word to me. Again, minor, but that's what I noticed.
I watched online and it looked like the crowd is closer to and surrounds the field, especially down the first base line. Hopefully we can get back to having a top program and our fan base can get back that “rowdiness” that we had back in the ‘80’s and ‘90’s.
If if we can, that place should be crazy for a big sec weekend and regional.

We seriously need to teach our fans about situational awareness. I'd say 90% of our fans choose to move around the grandstand chairback area with no regard to what's going on with the game. How hard is it to wait between batters to get up from or return to your seat and not be in the way of those trying to watch the game?
Bases loaded, one out, full count - time for some cold nachos and a warm coke!
All it would take is a video along the same lines as "Ring Responsibility" a couple times a game.

It is incredible. It was my first time being in it and pictures really don’t do it justice. The right field plaza entry way is massive.
Just one complaint... we really need a ticket exchange. And no I’m not some entitled brat who is just expecting to have a seat. I just live 5 hours away and can’t make it but to about 3 weekends a season It would just be nice to be able to pay extra to buy a seat back ticket from a ticket holder who isn’t using theirs. Was there with my parents this weekend and they couldn’t stay long because they couldn’t stand for a long time on the railings.
Other than that, it blows every other stadium out of the water. Can’t wait till it is 100% complete. That place can be rocking on big games

That's because they don't exist yet. The area directly behind home plate is going to be the dugout club or something like that. Basically going to be loge seating.
Maybe early on. We left the spring game with 4 minutes left to go to Dudy Noble, and when we got there the grandstands had a lot of empty seats. However, after the spring game finished and especially after they let fans go to the chairbacks after 5th inning, the lower grandstands filled in.
Stadium is awesome! Place was packed! I love all the old school designs.
The outfield lounges look SO impressive from the grandstand. I kept thinking, "There is nothing like this anywhere else in college baseball." Just now I realized there is nothing like our outfield lounges (in total across the the entire outfield) in ANY baseball stadium.
I made sure to walk all the way around the concourse and on both upper concourses. I was surprised how many people were in the upper concourses behind the back row of lounge spots. I expected it behind the frat lounge spots in right field, but there were a lot in the left field upper concourse, too.
I noticed the first base line grass terraces are completely filled by people just sitting on them. Not on chairs on the tiers, just sitting on the tiers. It looks a little strange and seems like a waste of the them--I don't think they weren't meant for that.
They are allowing people to use folding chairs on the berms. That's good.
There were a lot of people carrying small coolers somewhat larger than the too-small maximum size. That's good--apparently the school is not holding everyone to that.
It was very crowded on the concourse under the grandstand. Don't know if it will be a lot worse next year when there are two decks of people sharing that concourse or less crowded because a lot of those people in the concourse today will have a place to sit in the upper deck plus there will be two entrances to the stadium instead of just one like today.
Gorgeous park!! When it's finished nothing in college baseball will be quite as good. It has a college and pro park feel mixed together. Everything is very thoughtfully done as far as I can tell. It's absolutely big big time.
I second tickets exchange. The new ball parks is amazing, and i know its not finished yet. If i had to find one thing to complain about was that there was just not enough general admission seating. I dont know if this will changed when completed, but for big weekend series, the berms just dont have enough space. So if you don't have a spot at left field lounge or a season ticket spot, there isnt a lot of space for the average joe to sit and enjoy the game as before. Are they going to make some of the chairbacks open to general admission once completed? There were plent of chairback seats without butts in them. We stood up behind railings for 6 innings since the event staff in our area didnt let anyone go in until the 7th. I will say the standing room and walking room has greatly increased. the field can be viewed while walking or standing. They just need to get an exchange or find more seating for general admission. If you go with the wife, kids, or folks that cant stand a while, they will probably get tired of standing and it will cut your trip short. I like that that you can walk around the whole park through the lounge now. The entry way is huge and the pictures don’t do it justice. I miss kind of the grass roots unique feel of the left field lounge trailers. To me, it seems like a really nice, minor league park. It will definitely be one of the biggest and nicest college parks. Im glad we got the first SEC sweep in the new Dude for SBW.

The outfield men's room concept wasn't researched very well. The Junction John's have 6 urinals, now we have 7! The Junction John's have an "IN" door and an "Out" door. The new outfield one has only one door with people running into each other and jamming the entry. We didn't upgrade in that area much. Otherwise I think it's great, I miss the old outfield but we'll move on and "make it great again "
And that militant beotch at the plaza entry way needs to find other ways to spend her Saturdays.
She went off on some guy (toting a small soft side cooler) saying alcohol wasn’t allowed in at HER gate, and she’s been watching him trying to be all sneaky.
I didn’t catch the whole exchange of what happened, but seemed very much uncalled for.

My only issue is the berms look really nice but man they are uncomfortable. I dont see how anyone can sit on them for more than half a game. And certainly way fewer people in berms than the old metal bleachers. We clearly went for the best looking park and maybe not so worried about most people/comfort. Those metal bleachers sucked but it beat standing.
There already is a yellow vertical line on the curved wall where the first base foul line is.
As far as I know: a ball hitting the curved wall to the to left of that vertical line is in play, even if it hits above the green padding. The padding is just for protection, not to signify a horizontal line for a HR. A HR has to go over the taller brick portion of the curved wall.
I don't know what happens if a ball hits the white concrete top part of the curved wall. My guess is if it hits the concrete top of the wall and goes over its a HR and if it comes back onto the field it's in play. There are people draped over the curved wall so that complicates it. If a fan draped over the top of the curved wall touches or grabs a ball on the fly, is it interference? A HR? Ground rule double?

It's gotta be rye grass. Bermuda hasn't fully come out of dormancy yet.
That said, the football field look like crap on television (in contrast to LSU's, which looked great from the tv cameras).
Are "pinkie shears" the same thing as "pinking shears" ... the ones that cut a zigzag line?

OK, you gotta help me out. Google found a couple of refereces for "pinkie shears" ... one is pinkie ring that looks like scissors. Another is a dancer? Or, could it be those small scissors with the curved thing on one side for your pinkie finger, sometimes used by barbers, I suppose for precision cutting?
Has anyone sitting in the grandstand had sight issues?
I was just curious. Talked to someone who said they couldn’t see from their seats very well this weekend. I think they may have been on that transition row between the old section (i.e. first four rows that they kept) and its slope and the new slope/seats. There’s one row in there that’s a little lower and closer to the row in front of it than others.

Don't let this distract you from the fact of JR Ross's call at Summerslam 2002: With Shawn Michaels’ back turned, Triple H struck him with his trusty sledgehammer, before dealing out a couple more blows for good measure. And naturally, this prompted JR to launch into one of his most damning tirades, directed at the Game’s heinous actions.
“He’s going to rot in hell for what he did here tonight” was the initial verdict, before he soon began to question “how in God’s name can that human being be from this planet? Does he have no conscience? Does he have no heart? Do you have no soul, you son of a *****?!”
