    I don't think the locker room is considered part of the Tigue renovation project but an outside project that will be funded differently and I would expect some info on that in the next year or so. I think the bleachers would be the official phase 3 but I don't think that will happen for at least 3 years unless ticket sales demands it.

    Would ticket sales determine that? I don't think it would be adding much seating. The only way at this point to increase seating would be to extend the bleacher down the lines, which would mean elimination either our bullpen or batting cages. I don't think our capacity will be increasing much more after this.

    I think you are correct. According to info on the current 'home run challenge' promotion:

    "Phase III
    future

    new clubhouse with locker rooms and offices; additional fan amenities"

    The clubhouse need to be done as soon as possible. If you look at the stadium the only thing in my opinion that takes away for the overall presentation of this project is the old club house sitting there. Where would it be located and how much will it cost to build? If removing the bleachers and extending the stadium is not in the near future I think they should be raise to match the stadium. It want be hard to do. When they installed the third base side bleachers they notice they were 2' to low. Easy fix. They set jacks under it and raised it and placed 2' stubs under each footing. It took about 5 days to do it......

    Even with the new clubhouse being built, I doubt the old one would be be removed. Probably just repurposed

    They may get finished with the brick work this weekend If the rain holds off until Sunday.

    As of right now it will be demolished.

    The clubhouse/office are more than just that and will be funded separately. There is a reason that is is taking a little longer. Doing it right is more important than doing it quickly.

    A few pics from today, from outside the cam range. Getting very close to finishing the exterior. And also, if you notice they have finally installed the real handrails in the first base entrance site....IDK why this wasn't done sooner, since it has been being used as the main entrance since 0303.
    Also, I didn't get a chance to take a pic of it, but the interior .....the PB/suites/club level....has windows, stucco, etc., and is look really great
    In summary, we will see a lot of progress next weekend.....

    So, I've been thinking about that a lot. Stupid question: can the bleacher's be built above either the bullpen or batting cages?

    Is there a plan for the gray spaces under the windows?? Banners or something would dress those spaces up.
