Since the new brick on the stadium is different than the indoor batting cages, are they keeping it like that or changing the batting cages brick?

Keep as is unless you want to pay for it to be changed.
Did we ever get confirmation that the GA bleachers will/won't have a back to them. I know it was discussed on earlier pages and a bunch of folks emailed the TMF but I noticed in the pictures nothing has been installed yet. Do we know what the final answer was?
CAN'T FREAKING WAIT!!!!!!!
Thanks, Mason and Dan. Y'all have done a fantastic job of keeping us misplaced Ags up to speed. Looks AMAZING!!!!

All benches will have backs. Your voice has been heard.
The GA bleachers will have a back. Capt Dan confirmed on page 18-19 I believe.
Real grass on the berm. Leo's group will maintain them.
Thanks Capt Dan! I'm glad we we're heard.
Went by Olsen after church and it looks great! Although, it sure looks like a lot left to do. Ready for my seat selection on the 11th!! Gig'em!!! Thanks for the pictures guys.
Looks amazing! Thank you captnDan & mason for the updates and great pics over the past 6 mos.
One question, what will the view be like if you have seats right up against suite wall especially down opposite baselines?

So the seat selection is the 11th? When are we being notified......

I think aggietickets posted on here that was the date but I also think they said all the info was going to be in the season ticket renewal packets they sent out. I would call if you never got the info.
Why are they having a seat selection day if season ticket renewals with new seat locations already went out??
I am parked out here and they have finished the brick up both side to the suite level in the solid wall parts. They still have the open arches to do on both side and the far end on the 1st base side.
In the middle (entry way and stair/elevator shafts) they have gone up to the top of the first level where the first white stone layer is.
There is an 18 wheeler trailer parked out here that says C&S Carpet Distribution Specialist. So hopefully that means the carpet will be laid soon. They were putting the actual doors on when I got the tour so that means they 1st floor should be sealed, so they can run the heating/air conditioning system. All that is left is paint, cabinets, coutertops and flooring. And yes all the little things like light fixtures and computers and tvs but all that should be done here soon. They still have some work to do to get the restrooms and concessions ready on the concourse.

I am a new season ticket holder and our seat selection is supposed to be the 11th after all of the renewing ticket holders have their seats.
Great pics! I cant wait to get up to CS for a game so I can see the finished product with my own eyes!
The 11th was our early "best guess" on the date for seat selection. If you renewed or bought new tickets you'll get a packet of information late this week with the date/time of your appointment.
Construction started on the playplace today
The play place is already built. Maybe the fence around it is going up.

Astroturf for the bull pens.

Astroturf? What do y'all think this is, the Disch?
love the masonry selection on the exterior, didn't know we could do anything but tan...
i think the two HC platofrms on the second deck sever two purposes. 1. it brings you into compiance with ADA, 2. it does it in a problematic area where viewing angles in the corner of the suites would suck hard core.
Capt Dan I asked earlier in the thread but am asking again: If you have any extra artificial turf would you be willing to donate it to a private HS here in San Marcos? We need turf for our batting cages and dugouts. Feel free to email me jeff @ wood product group dot com to discuss.
Why don't you ask Texas State?
They are are huge University that loves to give back liek A&M?

Seems like an awful lot of work left to be done in one month!!

Except that the work won't take place in one month. More like 2-3 months. Problem solved.
Think of it this way - a 4 egg omlet, grits, a meatball sandwich, tortilla soup, a 20oz ribeye, potato, and pinto beans is an "awful lot of food left to be ate in ONE meal".
Get it?

It helps that they are working in shifts and putting in 18 hours per day, seven days a week. The rain sure isn't going to help, but they are moving faster than you would expect.
Take a look at this picture from dabo man's thread. It was taken less than a month ago and they've made a considerable amount of progress since then.
I think the bulk of the work will be done, while the finishing touches will be completed after the season has started. How long those take depend on what kind of shifts they continue to work.

The smart choice would be turf berms. The bermgoers will have fun with a muddy ass once the normal weather pattern returns to CS
They have a turf batters eye at the ballpark in Arlington FWIW. I'm sure there are more examples but that is one I have seen in person

That's not turf, that's real.
I was about to say... I'm pretty sure Arlington's batters eye is real grass.
Now the one at Minute Maid that looks like someone let the yard go unmowed too long, I believe that is some form of artificial turf.

Right now, it's dirt while that portion of the stadium is under rennovation.
