So no it isn't kind of out there.... I've been to the new box plenty of times and it is nice but Russo is gonna give it a run for the money end of story.

A run for their money, maybe, but some guy called Zephyr a dump and had Alex box beat "by a mile". That's not "out there"?

How are the grandstand seats? Are they narrow like at the dome? Do they have cup holders? I haven't heard anyone complain about them yet. I guess that's a good thing.

They are great. Very wide and sturdy. The cupholders are on the seat in front of you (except for the first row) and they hold beer and soft drinks great. Much better selection than what the dome did.

What are ya'll thoughts on the progression of the project and the timeline to completion?

Any new pics?

Only 2 home games in about 17 days should help a lot of things get done.

As far as I am concerned there is no rush. We have seats for the games and I don't see us hosting a regional.

It is beautiful now and will only get better.

A lot of the club and suite level sheet rock has been painted inside. The press box outside stucco has been painted as well. Some of the gray metal cladding has been installed above the suites up to the underside of the roof

Looks like they are making good progress on the brick work to the left of the third base line entrance.

Wonder if the university is pulling back on Lemoine and cutting out some of the OT cost. It would make sense to me being that I also do not think we will be using our stadium after May 14th.

Our best chance to use the stadium after May 14 will be to go on the road and win a regional AND be paired with a regional where the host loses. Then we could host the Super Regional.

Brick arches appear to be taking shape along the third base line bleacher section this morning.
