The person that gave me the tour asked me if I thought the new/bigger stadium would disrupt our pitchers. My comments were, well the guys come from high school so the old Tigue was already bigger, plus our guys practice here. I then said can you imagine the opposing team's pitcher coming in to this place. Man I am getting really pumped up this morning.

it looks like it will have banners hanging displaying the history of cajun baseball like alot of the big stadiums do these days, and like the cajundome did with the history of basketball.

Here comes the rain.

Our pitchers had some great performances at Minute Maid last year. They should be fine.

I am getting pumped too. This rain better not ruin tonight!

The eventual green park between the Tigue, APC, and Cajun Field would be nice. Or an eventual indoor hitting facility. Best would be new offices that house our athletics administration. Whatever it is, it needs to be something that a lot of people will use for a long time.

Our pitchers and players will feed off the crowd as always. The facilities will only add to that (here's hoping they're not a distraction lol). Seriously, I'm sure our guys will be fine, it's their home. Some opposing pitchers will be intimidated I suspect.....perhaps only for an inning or two, which may be all it will take.

Weren't the athletic offices supposed to go in the football upper deck tower whenever that is built? Hopefully that could serve as somewhat of a motivator to get that going

Rain has shut down most of the masonry work for today. Good chance of rain early next week as well.

Do you think the restrooms will be air-conditioned?
