WPC e-mail sent out this morning for the request to purchase tickets...priority deadline set for January 10th. Also, the $100/seat is correct and is mentioned in the e-mail. I don't see a schedule attached/linked though and on GoPack, 2021 is the most recent season you can click on. Anyone know when the schedule or opponent home/away list will be available?

Met with a WPC rep this morning. Improvements are coming and will be phased in 3 phases. Not 3 years. Former players are stepping up to help. As with wrestling there is going to be a direct link to donate to individual sports. Silent fundraising part is complete or almost complete for phase 1. Avent has insisted that there be no disruption in play at Doak. Expect phase 1 to start after the upcoming season

No word could better describe our current athletics leadership than "Silent"

For all the *****ing and complaining by the fans, I haven't seen Coach or any of the players speaking out, which gives me faith that what is going on behind the scenes is what needs to happen. Stuff like this doesn't get done without big money donors, and no offense to most on this board, myself included, we ain't those guys. Whenever the time comes, I'm sure we'll all be able to contribute as we feel called.
Just a guy on the sunshine squad.

Thank you. Our time will come to donate and most fans will wet the bed again like they usually do. They will complain regardless of the plans that will be put forward

Maybe the admin is thinking this could be a Valentines present to the fans?

Beautiful ballpark. Seems like being fan friendly is as much a priority to Ole Miss as players / coaches amenities is.

I am a little concerned that the ticket increase reflects the scope of the improvements. $100 x 3000 seats is 300K per season. That would take 30 years just to hit $10 million. I hope we are looking at something substantially more than that so the extra fee is really not significant so don't really see that it was necessary.

Look at the second post in this thread. Glasswolf made it. He discusses the fundraising. Should address your post.

I can't speak on specific amounts but Trea Turner is stepping us. Rodon is waiting for his contract to be sorted out. Other former players are on board also

Look for some news today on the future of The Doak.

Hopefully it will not be delayed again.

Really hope so BP. Today is an exceptionally slow day at work. I'd love to talk some baseball stadium.

So, is it 3 phases 1 year or 3 phases 10+ years?

3 phases each with their own fundraising. No time table. Could happen in 3 years

The time is HERE.

NC State Athletics, in partnership with Ewing Cole, has announced a $15 million enhancement plan for #TheDoak, with the first phase to begin following the 2022 season. https://t.co/90MlzTPMob

The plan has been separated into three phases - field improvements, competitive team performance spaces and fan experience upgrades. Should fundraising exceed $15 million, additional phases will be added to the project.

Looks good. Glad the player enhancements are in there. That's most important. Wish there was some covered seating for the main stands, or even an upper deck seating added.

If you want more than this it's very simple, give more $. We have to start somewhere…. Believe it or not your fan experience matters very little compared to player amenities. No need to complain about what's not in the mock up, it is a mock up and end result will likely be very different.

Apparently covered seating because of the direction of the stadium, would do no good for blocking the sun. Thus, the cost of it did not seem worth it (at least for these first three phases anyhow).
