The only place any grass berms should be is in the outfield for over flow with good chair back seats only along the foul lines and under all of the overhang. Would be nice to extend overhang down the foul lines too if possible.

Great visuals twk. I was always annoyed by the alignment of College Station and compass point names ( Northgate, East/West sides of Kyle) until I moved to Cedar Rapids, IA area for a seven year stint with an avionics company HQ'ed there. The streets are labeled with relationship to the northwest/southwest riverside of the Cedar River that flows from Cedar Falls / Waterloo also to the more distant northwest.

So the streets that align with the river are north south and if they go true north and are north(ish) of downtown they are NE and south(ish) particularly past the river are SW. that grid is mainly limited to the downtown area but it affects street naming a bit further especially for major thoroughfares.

All of the sudden College Station clicked into place as I absorbed Cedar Rapids nomenclature!!!

Your same observations apply to Kyle Field though its axis is closer to true north. And traditionally high school stands are north/south in Texas. Except JerryWorld of course…

Waco drove me nuts when I was there for law school. Anything on the left bank of the Brazos (looking downstream) was called "East Waco." The streets mostly align with the river there, too.

Baseball survey is live. I just completed it.

I didn't grab screen shots, but I'm not sure that the images are necessary to give you an idea.

The things that I recall, regarding premium seating options that they inquired about, are:

- 4 place table tops down the right field line (would be at the top of what is currently the death berm)
- a bullpen club in left
- loge boxes in left
- "living room" seats in left
- expanding the Diamond Club behind home plate

The did seek to gauge your interest in various price levels, and I captured an image of that, because I thought it somewhat informative:



I've got lower infield reserved, which, right now, cost just under $1000/each, and they were asking what level and prices you would be interested in purchasing your preferred location. This was the top level slide (others were cheaper).

It looks like they are contemplating bleacher in place of the death berm, and both lower and upper deck reserved down the 3rd base line. I'm pleased if that is an indication of what is to come.

I really don't want to lose my seats, but there are other seating options I could live with if I got pushed out. I'm looking forward to seeing that they come up with.

Just finished it. I thought it was weird that they asked whether you favored players stuff like batting cages or a 360 concourse.

Enclose like Kyle with 3 decks or GTFO.

Same. I definitely want players taken care of first.

Agree. Doubt I will get up and walk all the way around the stadium much.

---

I only get up when the kids need to pee.

I really would hate if we lost the Students/GA in the infield right on top of the other team.

I suspect that was just trying to whip something out quick and dirty, and not a foreshadowing of things to come with regard to the first base GA section. That's not really something that they would address in this survey.

I hope you are correct.

I'm wondering if $1200 is seat price only with an additional donation or fully loaded? Right now you and I pay $450 donation and $420 for the tickets. I'm reading that as $450 + $1200 but it's not clear.

Biggest takeaway is I don't see that as indicating that this will be priority point driven.

It said inclusive of ticket cost and funding donation

Look at the first sentence on the cropped image: "... inclusive of both ticket and any per-seat donation"

The phrasing seemed to include both seat and donation.


They did have a question about giving an additional contribution to the capital campaign and your motivation for doing so, with one choice being more PPs and another being to get season tickets.

My addition to the survey that no one asked for was to convert the press box to a club similar to the Insperity Club at Minute Maid for us poors in 205-207. I like a club where I can still see the game while I get my elevated sausage in a pretzel concession!

Ain't nobody got time for that!

Thanks, everyone!

I took that to mean, if they are running out of money and have to choose between things like a pitching lab or a 360 concourse, which do you want?

---

I took it as from a design/functional standpoint it may be best to use some of that space for the players and eliminate the 360 concourse. So just how important is that to our fans?

So, does the purple part imply that they are considering extending the second deck down the 3rd base line? If so, I hope they keep the overhand and continuity. In all honesty, extending the double deck further down the baselines would be the best looking and most imposing look to Olsen. You could do that and still have some attractions in the outfield.

Schloss briefly talked about the stadium renovation today.

• Plan on staying in this footprint.
• Limitations going out, but can go up. Mentioned the Sun in RF.
• Wants 12-15 K, but will likely be about 10k (in seats) with lots of SRO (1.5-2k).
• 360 degree concourse with drink rail all the way around.
• Most premium seats will be down the LF line (sun to your back).
*The survey that was sent showed double decks all the way down LF*
• It'll all depend on what we can afford.

Have thd plans been released?

I know a mom of a signee and she says she's seen thd plans and it's amazing.

They have not. There are some preliminary drawings that people have seen
