    1) The stadium you see required the admin going after additional monies and the design/construction team coming up with some cost saving measures to get the stadium built. You're high as a kite if you think redoing the dugouts and building a new clubhouse/offices/hitting facility would have fit in that budget.

    2) The budget numbers given for the clubhouse/office/hitting facility are accurate. There have been some truly wild material price escalations in the past 3-4 years. It started with the tariffs on Chinese goods pre-Covid, and then things have just gotten worse since Covid. And then locally you had additional issues with securing materials due to the rebuild of SW and SE Louisiana because of Ida, Delta, and Laura.
    Everyone needs to listen to this poster also when he tells you what is going on with the CF project.

    Oh, you mean another half-ass job. Might as well skip it considering the future of college football with NIL and the portal.

    I agree with most of what your saying but i believe what some posters are saying is the dugouts and only the dugouts should have been addressed when the reno of the stadium was under way. I know its easy for me to say but I'm sure the university had more borrowing power to add an extra million or so to address the dugouts. Just my opinion.
