The Tigue is a special place

[CajunAmos]

They're likely going to have to put an added wall past the outfield wall anyway. I think most likely, that bullpen will have to go behind the wall now when the clubhouse goes in it's place.

It's a tight squeeze when you check the measurements just using google maps but they probably can make it work. At it's closest point, the track is only about 25' from the outfield fence but that's more right-center. Closer towards the line, the track curves away giving a little more room

I think the existing right field bull pen could stay the same with the home dugout moving to the first base side. If they wanted to use the bullpen space for construction they could put the bullpen on the ground floor of the new clubhouse facility as you would need an indoor hitting/pitching facility anyway, but my bet would be the first base dugout/bull pen would become the home side. They could even expand the footprint a little to give them more bullpen area and reduce the visitor side bullpen there if needed.

I also would think for fairness the opponent would have to have access to the same technology as the home team so I don't think you could put cameras showing into the dugout without doing the same for the visitor.

Why is the athletic dept. keeping the clubhouse renovations so secret? Why are the blueprints not made public to the fans? I would think they would want to show us the plans. I hate getting second hand information.

They are in the silent phase of design. Sorry, I had to go there.

We have to pay for the stadium before the club house can be financed. We finalize have a transparent drive to raise funds. We are directly responsible for when it gets built.

Not sure where you heard that but it isn't what I have been told. There is already some money dedicated for the clubhouse and it would be independent of anything going on with the stadium.

I'm sure T. Joe would like the money back from the stadium before they start building more stuff they can't afford.

T Joe cannot dictate where people place their donations.

Who is going to be the coach that tells the president of the university we'll do what we want with the money?

The people willing to donate the money (or not).

Yeah cause they beating the door down to give all this money....which is why they are still asking for money to pay for a stadium that is still under construction right?

Or maybe there are folks with personal ties to the program (like ex players or others) who didn't want to donate to a stadium but do want to donate to something that directly impacts the players themselves.
