    Demolition at the Dude

    I'm on campus for Orientation for my daughter and wandered over to get some pics. Makes me sad and excited to see it moving forward.

    Was the scoreboard taken down or just not in frame?

    Scoreboard is staying. It is technically the first "part" of the new stadium.

    I would be nervous if I was the guy still sitting in the grandstand under the John Grisham donated scoreboard.

    Guess I never realized how far back from the fence the new scoreboard sat.

    Just wasn't in the frame. I hadn't seen it. It's massive and way further back from the field than the old board

    I can't help but feel like we're ripping Wrigley apart.

    I'm torn. I'm excited about the new Dude but like you said feel like we are tearing down Wrigley too! The older I get the more nostalgic I get. I think we'll all feel better once the construction is complete and we see the finished product.

    If the LFL maintains its character I'll be beyond happy. The grandstand and entrances needed to be upgraded, but there's a huge part of me that wants them to just let the LFL be. I love taking baseball fans out there that have never been. And without fail, 100% of them leave saying it's the best baseball game experience they've ever had. That's a lot to risk.

    To me this is no different than when we upgraded in 1987.

    They renovated Wrigley a few years ago too.

    So I see the chairbacks have been removed. Are they really going to reuse the same seats in the new grandstand like we've heard they might do??

    I have heard they will be used at other venues across campus. Not sure where.

    Unfortunately "risk" is why they are doing what they are doing to the LFL. It's the times we live in.

    They could put them in the football stadium.

    That's the common line but not the correct line per the person that wrote the liability policy for the university. It's more about $$$$$. We wanted to keep our same spot in centerfield but were informed it had been sold so we were moved over several spots.

    To the west side 300 level at DWS. You will see a lot more chair backs up there next year.

    I'm really hoping for a construction cam so we can monitor it like we were able to do for the Davis Wade renovation
