good find, nice

I wonder if they'll have bleachers along the baselines (cheap, no seatback bleachers).

The more seating, then the better chance of hosting tourny's and regionals in the  future.

Could they bring in temporary bleachers for those tourny's?

The presentation for the original renderings stated that the plans for the stadium were drawn up to -super regional- standards.

So lets hope they do this right

But... am i the only one that finds it weird the directional orientation of the stadium.  Kind of makes it a possibility of HR balls hitting cars as they drive by.

Eh.. i guess HR's in college BB games going to left field are small.

If you look at the current stadium, there's more foul balls hit in the streets than homeruns this season, and thats with the parking lot behind left field.

That's true. 

I guess it wont be too much of a problem then... But i wonder if I'm going to miss the "CAR!!!..." Then everyone waiting in anticipation for a loud THUD

Seems like the new entrances are going to encourage people to park in the Sun Dome lots and cross the street. No one ever uses those easternmost spaces now unless there's a basketball game or some other big event. And of course those spaces are out of the reach of foul balls.

nothings out of reach when balls and sticks are involved

Softball is going to flourish with this setup.  Their improvement from current digs to this is far greater than baseball's upgrade.
