From what I understand the only real money maker for Manual having X as a tenant is the revenue from concessions. Manual has plans to add field turf and take out the track around the field once X is done playing there. X does pay a minimal rental fee (compared to Old Cardinal Stadium or Papa John's), but I would say that the additonal wear and tear, extra maintainence, and field paint eat that up pretty quickly.

 

Putting down field turf at Manual Stadium would be like Notre Dame putting down field turf. :cry:

 

PS FIRSTGET NEW LIGHTS!!!

I have yet to see an artist's rendering showing a scoreboard at Page Stadium. I know defense wins championships, but a scoreboard is a nice perk.

 

I hope St. X has plans to name the new turf field after Paul M Young.

 

Appears field house is under the home stands. Home side concrete? Visitors aluminum?

Very short left field down the line in the sketch on St. X website. Football is planning to practice full time on the new turf? Where will the Frosh go? Possibly where the current baseball diamond is? Or will that be paved for parking? Appears the seats behind home plate may be sold since this appears to be a fenced area with access via the football stadium only.

 

I would say both sides will be concrete a la Maxwell field; Coach Young's name has to be somewhere on the field.

There have been changes to the plan....I hear that there are plans to put 1000 more seats and that the main entrance will be brick with an in-layed "X". There has been talk that these bricks can be purchased with the buyers name engraved to be a permananent part of the stadium....

 

I have not talked to my source since he first told me of these plans...so I do not know if they will become reality.....but depending on the price of the bricks....I think I might just have to purchase some in the name of some of my favorite and not so favorite BGP Trinity posters.....I think it would be great to see LSUROCK, TD, RM, TAlum, Rock 86, QB42, and RP become permanent contributors to X history!

Of course, if you'd like to reciprocate, and have your name engraved on one of the plaques @ Marshall Stadium, some sort of deal may be in the offing! :lol:

I hear the frosh will practice on the Baseball field, as it will be sports turf now.

Parking and ingress, egress are my concerns. Any information on how these are to be achieved?

The maintenance shed?

Still looking for that football scoreboard! I had not heard the baseball field would be artificial as well. Soccer/Lacrosse practice field as well?

The maintenance shed?

That's reserved for the sod god, Mr. Leon Dunagan!
