I hear it's going to happen once softball is completed but wanted to throw a thread up here to discuss your ideas. Personally, i'd like to see:

*Stands down the left field line and wrapped around the flag pole, extending to somewhere in left center. Would love to have seating for at least 10,000 fans

*Create outfield space for "Aggie Alley" type of environment complete with smokers/grills. The social aspect of old Aggie Alley is dearly missed.

*I would imagine that beyond the fence in right is off limits due to proximity of the train tracks and the liability associated with it. Anyone know if there's truth to that?

Whatcha got?

There's a thread that covers this some, though it devolved into bickering about season ticket sales towards the end:

I hear they are going to serve free beer at Olsen when it's expanded.

If they didn't do that in 2012, hard to see why you think that would even be up for discussion now?

question is why would they? My guess is they'll use priority points if you want to move or purchase any newly available seats. But it's not like they're tearing things down and start over.

Should that ever happen, I just may have to insist we move to central Texas with the next move.

I see a facility that was rebuilt when I look across the steeet. That's a really poor comparison.

The 12th Man Foundation makes the rules on both, that's all you need to know.

From what I've been told and then redesigned in my head.

They are gonna replace the left field lawn with seats and create something like MSU's outfield around to the batters eye and traditional seating along the right field wall.

Not sure how its possible, but thats what Ive decided they are gonna do.

Unfortunately, we contracted it out to LSU and they still haven't gotten back to us.

Kyle Field pretty much had to be reseated because you couldn't just give people their old seats, those didn't exist anymore. I don't see why this expansion won't be handled any differently than how baseball tickets have been done in the past, just with more seats to sell.

They were forced to do some reshuffling at Olsen in 2012 but they seem to make a honest attempt to keep most ticket holders as close to their old seats as possible. Not sure why folks believe that the addition of outfield seating will require reseating of season ticket holders this go around. Maybe they are fearful of further eroding of the GA sections along the first base side?

Take it for what it's worth, but I'm a current student who just voted for "Expansion of Student seating at Olsen" as my class of '18 gift. That's why I clicked on this thread to see if there's actually any fire to this smoke. Reading it on the ballot was the first I heard of it, although I think it's more than warranted even if I never get to use it.

Unfortunately, "expansion of student seating" probably means moving students to the outfield once all is said and done.

Maybe, but one thing to keep in mind is NCAA post-season ticket regulations. If we sold the entire grandstand as season tickets, we'd have to do like LSU and move some season ticket holders out of their seats for the super regionals, because NCAA rules require the host team to provide the visitors 600 seats between first and third. Given that requirement, I think 202 and 203 will remain GA for the regular season, so that they don't have to displace season ticket holders in the post-season.

The RoughRider's lazy river opened last year. It seemed to me the view wouldn't be that good anytime you are on the back end of the lazy river, but I'm guessing a lot of the people paying to do the lazy river don't really care.

All I require really is that the view of the trains not be obstructed.
