Lindsey Nelson Stadium,

Did they retain the Hunter Ensley eye black on the outfield wall? Tony V mentioned that they would commemorate it.

Hunter has it. It’s stored at one of his buddy’s houses.

Thought I would share this Tweet as it has some good photos of Lower Hudson Field.



I went to a handful of games there so I was having trouble remembering the specifics.

Would love to know who Vols are playing in the 2nd photo with so many people in attendance.

Hard to believe this is where LNS sits now.

Love the all-orange uniforms. Reminds me of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1970s. Did Tennessee ever sport pinstripe hats?

 

[HeavenUniversity]

Just don’t ever, ever go down the Chicago White Sox trail lol.

(1) Sound. Excellent news. the sound was blaring in prior years
(2) Why do we care if the media has great seats? It's 2025, not 1925. Time to move past giving all but broadcasters premium, free seating with food.
(3) I wonder how much will be done before the end of the season, I doubt there will be more seats but will the concourses and exterior walkways will be completed.
(4) The restrooms in grandstand were getting really bad. I would rather see all the concessions move out to the plazas and leave bathrooms and first aid only under the grandstand
(5) It appears the student section is largely tiered rails. Love that

Glad to hear they widened the concourses as well.

Student section is SRO.

It’s gonna be a huge party. No need to sit.

Agreed. This was a good call.

 

[fryeguy93]

Agreed. This was a good call.

Give'em some stools for midweek games

That will help keep the rowdies vertical once they have reach proper lubricaton.

For the student section.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Go Big Orange

 

[WallyBalls]

Man, I'm glad the restrooms are getting an update, but I'm gonna be bummed if they removed those old school warehouse blower heaters in there.

Those were a lifesaver in those Feb/March games.

Not too far off the Mark Connor baseball camp days and my Freshman/Soph years at UT.

So much fun sitting that close to the action and heckling the opposing team's hitters. You could hear the conversation between batter, hitter, and umpire.
I guess that is why I am a bit sentimental and sad about moving students to the outfield. Plus, who wants to stand in the cold of March or the heat of June?
That is just crapping on your students.

 

[Ned Land]

I pulled up the architectural drawings after getting a good look at how things are turning out. Am I pulling this out of thin air or was it at one time mentioned there was almost 80 million connected to this renovation? Gotta be honest, it feels like we've been absolutely fleeced if that is the case. It's not that it isn't better, I just cannot get past the thought that they didn't increase capacity any more than they did.

To help my daughter's high school group raise money this fall, I worked a concession stand in the Neyland Social Deck which is a lot like this area.

A huge amount of people brought collapsible stools like this for this huge SRO area.

Amazon.com

I suspect they would allow these for the SRO and students.

Maybe it included the cost of the high rise dorm they were planning outside right field?

Yep. Those things were set on blast. Warmed you up in a minute.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

So it doesn't look like any added capacity and not much has changed? I know obviously the upper deck and boxes aren't done but only added was the student section which is all standing?
