real turf and dirt?
God loves you so much He'll meet you where you are. He also loves you too much to allow to stay where you are.

Hope this one plays more like a collegian baseball stadium and not like the little league park they used to play in.

Lindsey Nelson Stadium uses FieldTurf for its playing surface. This is the same company that is responsible for the turf for the likes of the Carolina Panthers, Seattle Seahawks, New England Patriots, Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons, Michigan football, Notre Dame football, Oregon football, Texas football and a good number of college baseball programs.

Pretty sure it's a (105 million dollar) facelift of the original park.
thought that might be the case. I don't mind the field turf for grass as much but when you take the dirt out it is AWFUL

Don't think they moved the outfield wall.
We've got some work to do
Not saying Olsen isn't due for an upgrade but I prefer a good ballpark that isn't a band box with the Game played on a field of real grass and dirt any day.
Not gonna lie, the mountains in the background are damn cool.

True.
But our aquatics facility on the north and the BNSF on the east are better.
So the weasel coach they had is now employed by the SFO Giants?

Really nice

You will be impressed with how much money comes in when A&M wins a Natty. It changed the game and program direction here with new donors specific to baseball as well as greater budget designation to baseball from the AD.

Beautiful. Doing it right.
Pretty salty:
Somebody didn't think this one out....
Whoops. No need to see all of right field.
When UT has good pitching, it's super impressive. When they put up crazy power #s, you take it with a grain of salt. 340'-345' power alleys. ~385' CF. Crazy small.
Besides that, I think they did a good job of turning, arguably, the worst SEC park into one of the better ones.

Plastic turf and dirt, but at least the pitcher's mound has REAL dirt.

Any time you get in the "transition" zone -- where growing grass, even cool season grass, early in the year is tough -- you almost have to be a little more tolerant of turf. Lexington could probably get away with cool season grass the still late in the baseball season, but Knoxville can't. The transition to bermuda in, say, late April or early May would be rough.
Now, t.u. doesn't have the same excuse. They're just downright lazy and pretty much have been for decades.

Well the right field fence isn't much farther than that view allows.

They had a nice grass field for many years in Knoxville. Arkansas has a beautiful field. It can be done at that latitude, someone just decided not to.
The sips keep saying they are going back to grass, but never do.
Nothing beats the good strong Goodyear rubber smell in the spring air at a baseball game.
Looks pretty mid, as the kids say, for such a big money dump into it

An ode to Mt. Aggie.
The rec center doesn't look nearly as bad as the gray and white stripped football practice facility. If we are going to paint a mural on something, do it on that.

Are you talking about the new or old football (and track) facilities? Because the new one is a huge improvement.

Somehow, I don't think that would be quite as satisfying, but I still do think they should put more graphics and images on the back rec center. It is totally under utilized. And would look better than just the brick.
One thing that does stand out, but it's not that big of a deal is how it looks like a chandelier is in front of the new football center on the other side. They probably should've thought about pulling a dark area down on the top of it.

The new one is still ulgy on top.
