^Come on Rockpride, nothing wrong w/baseball.

Just some highlights of the construction in case you don't want to wade through the other pics. The thing that amazed me most was how high from the ground the suites/press box are going to be. If you use the elevator shaft to judge the height, it looks like it's going to be way up there.

I wonder how much Coach Scott chipped in to get the elevator.

You're right there is nothing wrong with our's or their baseball, but that stadium is a more attractive place to play than where we play. Football, not so much.

May want to wait till it's all said and done before you pass judgement on the stadium...

Your stadium will be 100% top notch, the best in the state...HOWEVER....it is not enough "better" for it to hurt us that much...with us having arguable the best staff, great facilities, the #1 PROGRAM.....we should be able to sustain our pipeline of players just fine....will it help X? heck yeah....will it hurt us? I don't think so.

Wow BuddyBW nice baseball field, is that turf or natural grass? Was this just done this year? We're having a similar complex being built at Dixie H.S. but for some reason sod has not been put down on diamond and apparently no baseball on new field in 07.

^ X's baseball stadium is all sports turf, EXCEPT home plate, and the mound....all baselines, warning track, etc...are of the turf, except with differing color.

RP, I see what you're getting at and I'd agree with it probably. Although I do reserve the right to change my opinion when I see the finished product.

The Official St. X Website has an updated photo which shows the turf going down on the field and the scoreboard in the background.

I heard they put in an elevator because one of the radio broadcast guys wouldn't use the stairs?? :fire: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I just took a closer look at the picture. It looks like below the football scoreboard is a time board for track to instantly show the results of the race. I hope X decides to host some meets to take full advantage of this!

I heard AD the AD talking about the football field being ready for the new turf on AM790 Tuesday night in the Pre-game show for the basketball game. I didn't realize it was actually happening. This is way cool!

It looks great.

 

Will the track be ready for this season?

I have heard that it will not be ready for this season. Should be interesting to see what the track team does for workouts. This will also effect the Mercy track team, as they do their workouts at X.
