Question on the Big Dude:

[Bullmutt]

I have been looking over all the renderings and can't find a visiting team bullpen. Has anyone else spotted it?

[Homedawg]

It's in foul territory.

[dickiedawg]

It's pretty funny to me that they don't get a designated bullpen.

[bulldogcountry1]

Nowhere to hide, beeches!

[Bullmutt]

Wait! Are you saying we have to share a bullpen with them?!!

[Bark]

Dude look again down right field foul territory. It's nothing out of the ordinary. LSU's field is the same way.

Do you need a bigger picture?

Ah, see it now- thanks. Thought that was fan space.

"The Big Dude"

<slow clap>

I haven't heard that before. That's an awesome nickname for it.

What's the covered building behind the little green monster...concessions and restrooms, I take it?

[jeremyrbrown]

Everett's toilet.

you thought there was fan space on the field? I still think you are not seeing it.. Look on the field in foul territory down the right field line.

[PassInterference]

Yeah, it's not really a pen. It's 2 pitchers mounds and 2 home plates out in the open in foul territory.

Now that the shock has worn off, the brick with the white stone caps on top are the same as the football field. I like that.

That's going to be our unifying architectural style, I'd say, as the new football complex mirrors it as well.

Yes, I see the "plates" now. That seems a rather unsafe location, both for pitchers warming up and for right fielders. I thought what was being referred to was the green area just over the right field fence in front of the light stanchion.

Well, since those pitchers are going to be heckled by our fans sitting in the berm and in the first base seats, I guess you could consider it a "fan space" in a way.

You know that was one of Cohen's ideas so he and Butch could see who is warming up and at the same time he will expose the visitors to our fans. Nicely done.

That's another aspect that's like Wrigley Field.

It's probably not the safest thing in the world, but there are a few MLB stadiums that have bullpens like that. That's why you have to have someone kind of stand guard while the pitcher is warming up.

I still love our Pesky's Pole down the RF line. Very unique. Balls off that curved wall in the corner will give us some exciting inside the park HR's

[bgover4]

I imagine that area beside the visitors bullpin will likely be student seating, which will make warming up a lot of fun for opposing pitchers. I can see them selling those seats but i think putting students there would be good too.

[drummerdawg]

Are there other college ball parks with ribbon boards?

Yes several. I know Baum has them.
