"This latest project, which was raised through $7.5 million in donations, includes a new locker room, meeting room, team lounge, sports medicine center, equipment room and coaches' offices. We'll also have a new video board in place for next season."

I'm really excited about the new video board.

My understanding though was that they are also going to make the outfield berm more seating friendly. I'm not positive though.

Yall needed a new video board bad!

Has there been any discussion about improving the concourse, concessions, and restrooms?

The hill just needs to be moved forward somehow... it's completely separate from the stadium and atmosphere and the stadium blocks much of the view.

Not to my knowledge. We've done some pretty major stuff even since I've been there to expand capacity. I didn't make it to this SR, but I've gone to the previous SR and regionals and whatnot... were there problems with the concessions? I've never heard that as a complaint.

They have talked about adding more of the party patios I believe.

the only renovation I want to hear about is moving the power alley fences to the usual 375 ft

Isn't Lupton a relatively new stadium? And it already needs upgrades? Or is it older than I'm thinking?

It opened in 2003.

It has gone through several rounds of renovations/expansions. They added some practice facilities prior to this past season, expanded seating a few years ago, and maybe a few other things.

Its been treated as a long term project as they find the support and funds to improve the facility.

It needs more concrete and less aluminum.

i dont care if the bleachers are concrete or aluminum.

it needs more seating ,period, if they want to host a super.

The berm is the most unusable aspect of the stadium.

Concrete doesn't get you to the World Series. Apparently.

I hope you never have to go to UCLA for a Super.

Does UCLA at least have standing room only where you can see the field?

Seriously though, I hope the video board comes with a new sound system. It would be nice to replace the blaring speakers up on the light poles with an evenly distributed system throughout.

Will this obstruct the left field SRO or is that SRO area pretty much on the fence only and able to see around this building? Seems like further up the left field line would be better if you plan to ever add seats on that side.

...and I stand corrected, the blaring speakers are on the poles for the net, not the lights

Looks like it will just further obstruct LF SRO.
