Softball facility construction scheduled to begin October 2009

[HelmutVII]

They are working today (December 31) and have removed some of the seating next to the press box.

And my vacated box seats..

[BeauCajun]

In the outfield. Slight inconvenience.

Is that little press box coming down?

[Frenchie35]

_ Is that little press box coming down? _

Press box coming down as well as both dug outs and club house. The concret will be busted out for the new foundation. The club house will be rebuilt further down the third base line. This is a major renovation that is well deserved. My only grip is, why start so late. I know they have a reason and I would like to know that reason.

[ULtimateCajun]

I would be interested in hearing the reasoning as well why they waited so late to start.

This is the quickest I've ever seen anything get done at UL. Yeah it's going to suck for one season but it sure is great to see progress.

I can't believe we will be watching a potential national championship caliber team from the outfield??? I would love to hear what would happen if this was the case at Arizona, Florida, Arizona State, Alabama, LSU, Oklahoma, UCLA, or Michigan, or many other big schools? This rebuild should have started the day last season ended.

This is the equivalent of Alabama or Texas telling their football fans that they all have to sit in the end zone. I'd love to hear what Mike and Stefni this about this but they are good team players. The will never speak out about how poorly this has been handled.

MT baseball went through this same situation with their baseball stadium. They had to stand on the ramps to the football stadium to see their baseball team play that season. There fans sucked it up because in the end, they knew they would end up having a top notch stadium.

I guess people are tired of complaining about Bustle and the football team, Lee and the men's basketball team, and Rogers and the women's basketball team, that now they will complain about progress being made to softball facilities.
